NAS Virtualization Solution Evaluation Criteria
Overview NAS virtualization provides the capability to effectively manage the heterogeneous NAS and file server environment by providing a layer of abstraction between the NAS devices, file servers, and the clients that access them. It provides a single logical view of the heterogeneous NAS environment spread across different file systems on different NAS devices by encapsulating the file systems and presenting a single logical file mount point. The backend NAS mount points associated with this logical mount point can be hosted across different tiers of storage. It also overcomes the limitations with the traditional NAS architecture and allows implementation of Global Namespace across NAS devices spreading across different data centers.
