Embodiment Construction

[0033]The present invention provides a Virtualization Acceleration Application Programming Interface (VAAPI) which is interposed between a hardware layer and a software layer. For detailed description of VAAPI, please refer to infra. The present invention intendes to create or modify existing storage virtualization applications to take advantage of the fast path acceleration provided by storage data management silicon, which is included in a commonly assigned application, entitled STORAGE MANAGEMENT PROCESSOR, provisional application No. 60 / 427,593, filed on Nov. 19, 2002. Further, VAAPI is a strategy to bring concurrence within the storage virtualization industry for the use of a common platform. By providing hardware-assisted data movement and related functionality through VAAPI, virualization application vendors can boost their performance while positioning their technology on an open platform.

[0034]Referring to FIG. 2, VAAPI 4 is a storage network I / O handling framework and a se...
