The present invention discloses a bridging apparatus for bridging a host to a SAN (Storage Area Network). The bridging apparatus is capable of virtualizing a disk volume allocated in the SAN as a DAS (Direct Attached Storage). The bridging apparatus of the present invention comprises: a first HBA (Host Bus Adapter) for connecting to a SAN, a second HBA for connecting to a host having a DAS interface, a bridge controller for connecting to the first HBA and the second HBA, respectively, so as to bridge the host to the SAN, thereby allowing the host to directly access a disk volume allocated in the SAN, and a storage unit connecting to the bridge controller for storing programs and data.
