AOE windows Server/Target and Client/Initiator for Windows7/2012 or later [closed]

I've been using iSCSI for virtual SAN implementations...

I've already used in the past a diskless-boot system based on AOE (32 bits)...

In my case AOE has some advantages over iSCSI for small LAN implementations
(no routing needed, AOE traffic is more efficient)

I know there are a few AOE servers for Linux and working well with Windows clients, also booting windows diskless workstation from Linux Targets...

My question is if anybody knows of recent AOE software to act as Target/Server in a 64 bits Windows OS (7/2012/2016)

here are the sites where you could obtain the windows AOE driver

There used to be a WinTarget.net AoE target for Windows, but domain name is currently parked so I guess development is over. You might find binaries on CNET and some other file dumps but I'm not sure you want to do that ;)

StarWind had kernel-based AoE target for sure, you might ask them.

It may be a good idea to check with Outpace IO. They have an AoE background AFAIR. Other than that there aren't many folks doing AoE these days. I think that lack of vendors is a good enough factor to start routing traffic and switch over to iSCSI. At least there are vendors actively developing and supporting it. You can also get good iSCSI targets for free. HP VSA has a 1 TB free (no production use) FreeNAS - speaks for itself StarWind VSAN Free- optimum option as it does support production use. iSCSI/NFS/SMB3
