存储虚拟化技术研究与比较

Research and Comparison on Techniques of Storage Virtualization

本文描述了存储虚拟化技术的产生背景,介绍了存储虚拟化技术的定义和结构模型,并对存储虚拟化的实现方式和特点、关键技术做了分析和比较,最后指出存储虚拟化依然缺乏高度的标准化,只有尽快解决操作平台、网络和存储设备等厂商及产品之间的互操作性问题,才能推动存储虚拟化技术的发展。

This paper illustrates the development background, definition and structure models of storage virtualization technique. Implementation methods of storage virtualization and its characteristics are analyzed, as well as the key techniques. Finally it is pointed out that there is still no high standard for storage virtualization and only when such interoperability problems as operating platform, network and storage utilities are resolved, could storage virtualization technology development be greatly advanced.
