Abstract

See full text

A storage system may include a first storage device and a protocol translator. The protocol translator may be programmed to receive a storage-access command formatted in a first protocol format. The protocol translator may also be programmed to translate the storage-access command into a second protocol format. The storage system may include a pseudo-target-module coupled to the protocol translator. The pseudo-target module may be programmed to send the command to the first storage device after the command is translated into the second protocol format. A virtualization engine may provide an interface to the first storage device, and the storage-access command may be sent to the first storage device through the virtualization engine. The pseudo-target module may be programmed to receive data from both storage-area-network devices and network-attached-storage devices.
