ATTO add Mac OSX Lion support to their Xtend SAN Mac iSCSI Initiator Software.

Xtend SAN is the leading iSCSI initiator for the Apple Mac OS X operating system and consistently leads the way in terms of performance, compatibility and support. Xtend SAN allows Mac users to connect to iSCSI SANs, providing them the benefits associated with utilising one of the fastest growing storage networking protocols today. The development of Xtend SAN v3.40 continues ATTO's commitment to the iSCSI protocol.

This release builds on the many great features supported by Xtend SAN that help users of every level access their iSCSI storage from a Mac or Macbook Pro, Macbook Air or Mac Mini computer including; Challenge-Handshake Authentication (CHAP), Internet Storage Name Service (iSNS), Login Redirect and iSCSI error handling and recovery and Command Line Interface (CLI) for scripting access. Xtend SAN is the first and most widely-distributed application that allows Mac users to attach existing storage to an IP-based network. With Xtend SAN users can take existing direct-attached storage devices and make them available to multiple servers, increasing accessibility and simplifying storage management, while leveraging existing IT expertise.
