Network Storage System Using Out-of-band Virtualization Approach
Lu Xiong Xu · Journal of Chinese Computer Systems · 2009
This paper presents a network storage system using out-of-band virtualization approach,called BW-VSDS.It has following characteristics:(1) adopt a two-level out-of-band virtualization data management model which can fully utilize the I/O capacity of individual storage devices as well as maximize the utilization of underlying storage network;(2) use distributed data storage management protocols which coordinate multiple independent storage devices to realize advanced data storage semantics;(3) support multiple network data transport standards in case of different applications.Presently,BW-VSDS has applications in fields of video monitor,information processing and enterprise computing,etc.
