Jong-Hyeon Kim, Sangjun Lee · Journal of Internet Computing and services · 2009
This paper proposes an efficient storage virtualization system which allows users to view hard disk resources of numerous nodes as a large logical space using distributed hash tables of P2P techniques. The proposed system is developed at device level of Windows operating system and is suitable for users in Intranet environments. This system is developed to be recognized as one hard disk at the Windows explorer for user conveniences and does not need a supplementary client program at the application layer. In addition, it enhances security via cutting off breaches from external networks.
