Shenglong Tan · Microcomputer applications · 2010
Storage virtualization techno logies is the network-based storage management techno logies; it screens the differences of heterogeneous storage appliances,supply users with simple logic storage access interface;it simplifies storage management,optimizes the storage performance and improve the availability of storage devices. We first introduced the conception of storage virtualization and analyzed the model of storage virtualization,its hierarchy and popular protocols adapted by storage virtualization. We also discussed the latest tendency of storage virtualization and pointed out their advantages and disadvantages of those techno logies.
