What is Virtual Storage?
Virtualization gives you a simple way to manage and look at things that are very complicated such as complex, physical devices like computers, disk drives or storage arrays. It turns physical devices and their specific complexities into simpler-to-use software representations of those devices. What virtual servers have done is turn computers into icons virtual machines. When you click on the icon, you can then create or deliver a new virtual machine – a representation of a computer. Virtual storage, likewise, turns the disk drives of many, even disparate, storage devices into an icon virtual disks. By simply clicking on the icon, you can serve, protect, copy and provision storage. Simply put, this virtualized approach gives you a network service that extracts the resources and services you want from an available pool. That pool can be servers from a pool of virtual servers, storage from a pool of virtual storage, or printers from a pool of printers a concept that we all understand. What all these advances have done is turn independently managed devices into a network accessible service. Clicking an icon on a centralized console replaces the need to run around and manually manage and administer many physical devices.
