NETWORK STORAGE VIRTUALISATION AND MANAGEMENT
Benard Ong, Era Osero · 2013
This paper presents Network Storage virtualization model (NSVM), a demonstration of how the cloud can be utilized to transfer data directly between storage and the client on the network. The concepts demonstrated in this paper indicates how network attached devices can eliminate the server as a bottleneck and thus improving both performance and scalability. The network attached devices have a capability of allowing the client to independently access data directly from the storage through the independent drive object services provided. To fully realize the full potential of this technology security challenges paused by interaction models are carefully analyzed and provide a security implementation model and thus ensuring security and data privacy. The paper will demonstrate through experimentation and graphical representation, of results obtained, how secured network devices, can perform better than the classical store and forward processes.
