<p>A storage area network having a storage server (240), and a high-speed network (220) running a data communication protocol (IP, TCP, or UDP) for communication between client computer (210) and the storage server (240). The high-speed network (220) includes a high-speed switch (270). The high-speed switch (270) and the storage server (240) may be integrated. A storage manager (280) allocates and authorizes storage devices (130, 140, 150, 160). The communication between the client computer (210) and the storage devices (130, 140, 150, 160) is virtualized, the storage devices (130, 140, 150, 160) appearing to the client computer (210) to be connected directly to the client computer (210).</p> |
