Storage Virtualization II - Implementing and Managing Storage Virtualization (Spring 2010) | SNIA

Abstract

The second part of this tutorial builds on the first one, so the audience should have visited part I or already should have a basic understanding of this subject. Storage Virtualization part II covers practical issues of block virtualization in order to make most effective use of it. Among other topics it describes the implementation step by step and aspects of availability, performance and capacity improvements. The material discusses the role of storage virtualization within policy-based management and describes its integration in the SNIA Storage Management Initiative Specification(SMI-S).

Learning Objectives

• Understand the role of virtualization in improving storage availibility, performance and capacity management
• Learn about potential policy-based management using virtual techniques
• Understand how storage virtualization fits into the SNIA SMI-S and Web Services (SOA) architectures
