Suzhou Wenham Germany unified storage presentation on storage management, the modest scale of operations does not relieve the challenges it faces. Even small and medium enterprises are also faced with the situation of the growing storage needs, require administrators to devote more time and effort. The most important difference between these products is that the storage array controller software and this software is used by management. Select the appropriate controller and management software, organizations can reduce investment in storage infrastructure, thus reducing costs (thereby increasing business value) play a decisive role. Unified storage, is essentially a can support IP-SAN, FC-SAN architecture based storage network-attached storage file (NAS) and block-based. Because it supports different storage protocols to provide data storage, is also known as multi-protocol storage. Unified storage platform architecture advantages: ◆ flexible planning storage capacity, and data files stored on the block for flexible storage capacity planning, freedom to allocate storage to meet the needs of various application environments; ◆ full use of idle resources and capacity; ◆ reduce IT costs and risks; ◆ utilization can be improved. Unified virtual storage architecture to integrate different vendors SAN, NAS (Network Attached Storage), IP-SAN, DAS and other types of storage resources together to form a unified management, monitoring, and use of a common storage pool. Virtual storage is the essence of the sharing of resources, so the task unified virtual storage architecture is: [3] (1) how to further increase the number of shared storage resources; (2) how to provide effective mechanisms in the existing storage resources better service. From the viewpoint of the system point of view, there is a storage virtualization methods: (1) based on the virtual storage host; (2) a virtual storage-based storage device; (3) based on the virtual storage networks. At present the main virtual storage technology include: software RAID, Logical Volume Manager (LVM), Snapshot (snapshot), virtual disks, remote mirroring, a single image storage, RAID card technology, and so on; to achieve a unified virtual storage architecture only Starting from the essence of virtual storage, thus, a single memory-mapped method will likely be the direction of development of virtual storage, both from the host, network, or storage device, the storage resource is stored in a single image. Unified virtual storage architecture to integrate different vendors SAN, NAS, IP-SAN, DAS and other types of storage resources together to form a unified management, monitoring, and use of a common storage pool. Virtual storage is the essence of the sharing of resources, so the task unified virtual storage architecture are: ① how to further increase the number of shared storage resources; ② how effective mechanisms to provide better service in the existing storage resources. From the viewpoint of the system point of view, there is a storage virtualization approach: ① host-based virtual storage; ② storage devices based on the virtual storage; ③-based virtual storage networks. At present the main virtual storage technology include: software RAID, Logical Volume Manager (LVM), Snapshot (snapshot), virtual disks, remote mirroring, a single image storage, RAID card technology. Storage resource sharing is the most essential needs of storage architecture development, and therefore the future of network storage must be unified virtual storage. Through a unified virtual storage architecture will unify all storage resources, provide a unified resource sharing services.
