Virtual storage management is an essential part of any IT infrastructure. This kind of storage unlike physical hardware, which you can easily replace devices with superior ones or swap them out, is complicated and requires management tools to make the most of it.

The best way to manage this complexity is by using virtualization technology that lets you combine resources to create a storage solution that is scalable that can handle more data. Virtualization is available on numerous platforms, such as network appliances that provide central storage for your applications or virtualized storage software, which utilizes the hardware in order to deliver an array of storage.

A network appliance, for instance it can make use of a physical Fibre Channel SAN (FC) or iSCSI SAN in order to present an array of storage that appears as an individual logical disk servers or hosts. It is able to intercept input/output (I/O) requests and forwards them to a different physical location within the storage pool, without the server or host knowing what is going on behind the behind the scenes. The mapping granularity determines how fast meta-data is updated and how much storage space is needed during the process of migration, and also how fast the physical location of the previous one can be free.

Virtualized storage solutions can also offer high availability by mirroring the data across multiple servers. This will ensure that you don’t lose vital business information if one of your server nodes fails. The data will be automatically transferred to other servers that are healthy within the cluster.
