V-Switch
IN THIS
CHAPTER The V-Switch is a storage virtualization and management solution
that allows you to pool physical storage resources and re-partition
the total storage capacity into virtual volumes that best meet your
storage needs.
The V-Switch is a high performance appliance that operates in the
data-path of a storage network between the hosts and storage sub-
system. It provides a single, easy-to-use connectivity and
management platform for administration of small to Enterprise
class storage resources.
The V-Switch enables a network administrator to create and
manage virtual storage volumes using SANRAD’s Volume
Manager. The Volume Manager supports the creation and
combination of concatenated, striped (RAID 0) and mirrored
(RAID 1) volumes.
The Volume Manager provides for secure exposure of virtual
volumes to hosts using the standards-based iSCSI TCP/IP-based
protocol.
