Storage Virtualization: Technologies for Simplifying Data Storage and Management (Paperback)  | Released: 20-May-18

Storage virtualization is a new field that has considerable interest for information technology managers. There is currently no single work thatrovides an objective, technical explanation of virtualization technologiesThis book examines new storage virtualization technologies that automate datatorage processes, including data placement, replication and back-up. Storageirtualization is designed to ease storage management by presenting yourtorage network physical assets in a logical form. Making storage networksasier to manage can save a company money and make a storage network more efficient. Storage Virtualization provides a technical overview of howirtualization applications work and also includes practical case examples fromhe real world. Topics covered include: virtualizing at the host level, fabric basedirtualization, virtualization appliances, virtualized file systems,irtualization engines and virtualized tape back-up.eatures First Look: New storage virtualization technologies making storage devices easier and more cost-efficient to manage° Standards are just emerging in this area and so, readers are looking for a book which will guide their implementation decisions° All major storage vendors are embracing virtualization: EMC, Veritas, IBM, Sun, HP, Cisco° A vendor-neutral, technology-neutral book by a brand name storage author--about the technology in general, how it works, what it does and what it can doable of Contents PrefaceAcknowledgments1.
