Yes, the name to the left is the client and the client and server hardware are all identical (HP 380G4). I used initiator in the iperf test as that is the third box that I was testing iSCSI initiator performance from. It is a third HP 380G4 and runs linux. Initiator(linux) and linux are completely different boxes while initiator is the same as initiator(linux).
