Storage Virtualisation on the Fly

by Jim Hughes (STK Fellow)

Tuesday 26 Sept 2000, 16:00 → 16:15 Europe/Zurich

IT Auditorium (CERN)

This presentation will discuss the issues of centralised storage management in a heterogeneous environment. The presentation will be divided into three sections. - An introduction to the Storage Net 6000 storage management processor. - A discussion of the issues of SAN and Storage Security. - A discussion of RAIT (Redundant Array of Independent Tape). The Storage Net 6000 is a 64 port, 64 processor and 64Gb/s switch that is a storage management platform that can provide a variety of capabilities such as tape and disk virtualisation, translation, aggregation, pooling, mirroring, copying, and central management without host software. We will discuss the current and future feature sets for handling high volumes of storage. SAN and storage security covers the issues of data protection in large interconnected SAN and NAS environments where the confidentiality, authentication and integrity of the information are important. Specific research into backup security and file system security will be presented.
