Storage Virtualization
Storage virtualization refers to the process of
separating (through abstraction) logical storage fromphysical storage. The term is today used to describe thisseparation at any layer in the storage software and
.
Data is no longer tied to a specific disk or a specificlocation and is now free to wander as needed
8/8/2019 Msardell Virtualization Presentation
19/28
So What?
You no longer have to worry about single disk failure
If you need better performance, all you have to do isadd more or better disks
,
more disks
You now have a multitude of options to increase yourdata redundancy
Access level (SAN/iSCSI fabric) Block level (adjustable RAID configurations)
Logical level (selective multiple site replication)
