How to get Storage Server
I am looking at implementing a iSCSI based storage solution. I do have a file server currently running server 2008 R2 Enterprise but i am looking at adding windows storage server 2008 to use the iSCSI with exchange 2010 databases.
But I cant find anything on how to obtain it. Only by OEM, but can i just buy this on my own and install on my own hardware
Thanks

Windows Storage Server is an OEM-only product, which means Microsoft partners with OEMs to sell an appliance solution.

Thanks for everyone's answer. I went with a 3rd party iSCSI solution and it works GREAT
