Network storage resource application system and method

Abstract

The invention discloses a network storage resource application system and a network storage resource application method, and belongs to the field of network storage resources. The system comprises a source receiving module, a storage source integration module, a shared resource creation module and a shared service starting module, wherein the source receiving module is used for acquiring a network hard disk mapped in a whole local area network according to a user instruction; the storage source integration module is used for integrating the acquired network hard disk and a local disk into a storage pool according to the user instruction; the shared resource creation module is used for dividing the storage pool into a network attached storage (NAS) subarea and a storage area network (SAN) subarea according to the user instruction; and the shared service starting module is used for starting the NAS subarea to provide file transfer protocol (FTP) service, server message block (SMB) service and network file system (NFS) service for a user and starting the SAN subarea to provide internet protocol (IP)-SAN service and fiber channel (FC)-SAN service. The embodiment of the invention provides storage resources and corresponding service for most users, so that the users can conveniently, concentratedly and flexibly use the storage resources.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of network storage resources, in particular to a network storage resource application system and method. Background technique [0002] With the explosive growth of information, the amount of data stored by customers also increases geometrically, and the required storage space continues to increase. Although the current single disk capacity has increased a lot, and the hard disks used by commercial servers have reached the terabyte level, but the actual data used is quite limited except for the loss of RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disk, Redundant Array of Independent Disks) for data security. Such a disk is still far from enough for the needs of users. In this case, it is impossible for a single user to use hard disk resources to achieve the ideal situation. Not only that, with the diversification of applications, what users need is not only a single FTP (File Transfer Protocol, file transfer protocol) or SMB ...

Problems solved by technology

Although the current single disk capacity has increased a lot, and the hard disks used by commercial servers have reached the terabyte level, but the actual data used is quite limited except for the loss of RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disk, Redundant Array of Independent Disks) for data security. Such a disk is still far from enough for the needs of users. In this case, it is impossible for a single user to use hard disk resources to achieve the ideal situation.

Not only that, with the diversification of applications, what users need is not only a single FTP (File Transfer Protocol, file transfer protocol) or SMB (Server Message Block, server information block) shared use, but in most cases, it needs to meet WINDOW Under the application requirements of Linux and LINUX, a single-application storage system is already unable to meet user applications.

[0003] The special applications of some users have very high requirements on the performance of the applications. A single gigabit network cannot meet the data transmission in the application process, and it will also affect the user's work.
