Storage Virtualization
Storage Virtualization
• Storage Virtualization Storage virtualization is a technology that
abstracts physical storage resources and presents them as logical
storage units to users or applications.
• It enables the pooling and management of diverse storage devices,
such as hard disk drives (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs), and
network-attached storage (NAS), into a single, unified storage system.
• Here are the key aspects and benefits of storage virtualization:

1. Storage Pooling:

• Storage virtualization allows for the pooling of physical storage


devices into a shared resource pool.
• Multiple storage devices, regardless of their types or vendors, can be
aggregated and managed as a single storage pool.
• The storage pool can be dynamically allocated and expanded to meet
changing storage requirements without disrupting existing data or
applications.

2. Logical Storage Units:

• Storage virtualization abstracts physical storage resources and


presents them as logical storage units to users or applications.
• Logical storage units, such as virtual disks or virtual volumes, are
created from the pooled storage and can be provisioned to
applications or users.
• These logical storage units provide a simplified and standardized
interface, shielding users from the complexities of the underlying
physical storage devices.

3. Simplified Storage Management:
• Storage virtualization simplifies storage management by centralizing
the administration of storage resources.
• Storage administrators can manage the entire storage infrastructure,
including provisioning, data protection, and performance
optimization, from a single management interface.
• The virtualization layer provides a unified view of the storage
resources, enabling efficient allocation, monitoring, and
troubleshooting.

4. Data Migration and Mobility:
• Storage virtualization enables seamless data migration and mobility
across different storage devices and platforms.
• Data can be moved transparently between physical storage devices
within the storage pool, without disrupting the accessibility or
availability of the data.
• Virtualization simplifies data migration, load balancing, and
technology upgrades by decoupling the logical storage from the
physical devices.

5. Improved Storage Utilization and Performance:

• Storage virtualization optimizes storage resource utilization by


consolidating and efficiently allocating storage capacity based on
demand.
• Thin provisioning, a feature of storage virtualization, allows for the
allocation of logical storage units in a flexible and space-efficient
manner, reducing wasted storage space.
• Storage virtualization can also enhance storage performance through
techniques like caching, tiering, and load balancing, ensuring optimal
data access and responsiveness.

6. Data Protection and Resilience:

• Storage virtualization provides data protection and resilience features


to safeguard against data loss or system failures.

• Technologies like RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks),


replication, snapshots, and backup integration can be implemented at
the virtualization layer to ensure data availability and disaster
recovery.

CCS335/CC/III CSE/V SEM/KG-KiTE


7. Heterogeneous Storage
Environment Support:
• Storage virtualization is vendor-agnostic and can support a wide range
of storage devices and technologies, including different brands,
models, and protocols.

• It allows organizations to leverage existing storage investments and


seamlessly integrate new storage technologies into the virtualized
environment.
