storage virtualization

Storage virtualization is the amalgamation of multiple network storage devices into what appears to be a single storage unit.  Storage virtualization is often used in SAN (storage area network),  a high-speed subnetwork of shared storage devices, and makes tasks such as archiving, back-up, and recovery easier and faster. Storage virtualization is usually implemented via software applications.
