VMFS READ Only via Windows Server/HBA

I have been looking into reading VMFS Datastores via a Windows Server with a direct HBA link to a SAN, I have found an open source driver that allows Read Only Access this is great however not happy using it in a production environment....

Is anybody aware of either a VMWARE Product that will do this or a 3rd party vendor who provides this ???

Cheers

veeam FAST SCP, that will work.  You can use it to copy the VMDK from an ESX server to a LOCAL Windows box or a remote Windows file share..
