(PRWEB) September 6, 2004 -- Rocket Division Software has announced its leading iSCSI solutions StarWind (iSCSI target) and StarPort (iSCSI initiator) will be distributed on a FREE FOR NON COMMERCIAL USE basis.

"It was a kind of difficult decision to distribute the products this way," Anton Kolomyeytsev, the CEO says, "after all the main goal of the business is to bring the financial success to its founders, investors and employees and the solutions on this market are not cheap in general. However we believe that this decision will be very much appreciated by our potential customers and besides will popularize the iSCSI technologies. I think some day it will pay back and of course the commercial use of our software is possible only for money."
