Windows Server 2012 and Windows Storage Server 2012 offer an integrated iSCSI Target service that can be used with Cinder Volume in your stack. Being entirely a software solution, consider it in particular for mid sized networks where the costs of a SAN might be excessive. One of the great advantages of integrating Windows solutions…
DevStack is without any doubt one of the easiest ways to set up an OpenStack environment for testing or development purposes (no production!!).
