Abstract

See full text

A network-based storage system comprises one or more block-level storage servers that connect to, and provide storage for, one or more host computers over logical network connections, such as TCP/IP connections. In one embodiment, the block-level storage servers implement a protocol through which a storage server authenticates a host before permitting the host to access storage resources. Upon successful authentication, the storage server may also provide access information to the host.
