1 Storage Virtualization https://store.theartofservice.com/the-storage-virtualization-toolkit.html

2 Storage virtualization 1 Storage virtualization is a concept and term used within computer science. Specifically, storage systems may use virtualization concepts as a tool to enable better functionality and more advanced features within and across storage systems. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-storage-virtualization-toolkit.html

3 Storage virtualization - Disk management 1 The software or device providing storage virtualization becomes a common disk manager in the virtualized environment. Logical disks (vdisks) are created by the virtualization software or device and are mapped (made visible) to the required host or server, thus providing a common place or way for managing all volumes in the environment. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-storage-virtualization-toolkit.html

4 Storage virtualization - Fewer points of management 1 With storage virtualization, multiple independent storage devices, even if scattered across a network, appear to be a single monolithic storage device and can be managed centrally. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-storage-virtualization-toolkit.html

5 Storage virtualization - Host-based 1 Note: Host based volume managers were in use long before the term storage virtualization had been coined. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-storage-virtualization-toolkit.html

6 Storage virtualization - Pros 1 True heterogeneous storage virtualization https://store.theartofservice.com/the-storage-virtualization-toolkit.html

7 Storage virtualization - Network-based 1 Storage virtualization operating on a network based device (typically a standard server or smart switch) and using iSCSI or FC Fibre channel networks to connect as a SAN. These types of devices are the most commonly available and implemented form of virtualization. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-storage-virtualization-toolkit.html

8 Storage virtualization - Appliance-based vs. switch-based 1 There are two commonly available implementations of network-based storage virtualization, appliance-based and switch- based. Both models can provide the same services, disk management, metadata lookup, data migration and replication. Both models also require some processing hardware to provide these services. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-storage-virtualization-toolkit.html

9 Storage area network - Storage virtualization 1 However, the goal of storage virtualization is to group multiple disk arrays from different vendors, scattered over a network, into a single storage device https://store.theartofservice.com/the-storage-virtualization-toolkit.html
