Exploring the State of the Art

Abstract
With all of the recent excitement over server virtualization, there is suddenly a newfound buzz in the industry over storage virtualization. While there is a clear definition for server virtualization, there are many competing definitions for what it means to virtualize storage. This lecture compares the architectures of many leading storage virtualization paradigms while revealing the features and benefits of each major approach. The end goal is to give attendees a model by which they can compare and contrast storage solutions and ultimately chose the best approach for their environment.
Topics Include
• Basics of Storage Virtualization: The Storage I/O Path
• In-band SAN Volume Virtualization
• Out of Band and Host-Based Volume Virtualization
• LAN-based Storage Virtualization
• Disk Spindle Virtualization
• Integrating Snapshots and Replication
• ILM and Automated Storage Tiers
• Green Storage (power conservation)
• Disk Aggregation for Maximum Performance
Intended Audience
The lecture is geared toward a technical audience with at least some prior hands-on experience with servers, storage devices, and network devices. The class focuses on architecture (as opposed to command line syntax) so it is suitable for system architects, and network managers all the way up to the CIO.
