What are the benefits of an ISCSI hardware initiator over a software-based one? Choose two.

Hardware initiators are significantly cheaper.
Hardware initiators reduce CPU load on the ESX/i host.
Hardware initiators are supported by VMware, whereas software initiators are not.
Hardware initiators reduce memory load on the ESX/i host.

Explanation

Answer: B and D - An ISCSI hardware initiator reduces CPU and memory load on an ESX/i host because it offloads the entire TCP/IP and SCSI stack to the adapter. These benefits, however, may or may not be relevant for modern-day processors.
