In computing, a storage hypervisor is a software program which can run on a physical server hardware platform, on a virtual machine, inside a hypervisor OS or in the storage network. It may co-reside with virtual machine supervisors or have exclusive control of its platform. Similar to virtual server hypervisors a storage hypervisor may run on a specific hardware platform, a specific hardware architecture, or be hardware independent. The storage hypervisor software virtualizes the individual storage resources it controls and creates one or more flexible pools of storage capacity. In this way it separates the direct link between physical and logical resources in parallel to virtual server hypervisors. The storage hypervisor, a centrally-managed supervisory software program, provides a comprehensive set of storage control and monitoring functions that operate as a transparent virtual layer across consolidated disk pools to improve their availability, speed and utilization.

InactiveUS20140115579A1Increase flexibilitySacrificing performanceTransmissionSoftware simulation/interpretation/emulationRAIDVirtualization
A storage hypervisor having a software defined storage controller (SDSC) provides for a comprehensive set of storage control, virtualization and monitoring functions to decide the placement of data and manage functions such as availability, automated provisioning, data protection and performance acceleration. The SDSC running as a software driver on the server replaces the hardware storage controller function, virtualizes physical disks in a cluster into virtual building blocks and eliminates the need for a physical RAID layer, thus maximizing configuration flexibility for virtual disks. This configuration flexibility consequently enables the storage hypervisor to optimize the combination of storage resources, data protection levels and data services to efficiently achieve the performance, availability and cost objectives of individual applications. This invention enables complex SAN infrastructure to be eliminated without sacrificing performance, and provides more services than prior art SAN with fewer components, lower costs and higher performance.

InactiveUS7734598B2Short processing timeDigital data processing detailsUser identity/authority verificationStorage hypervisorHash function
A computer-readable recording medium having recorded a hash-value generation program for calculating a hash value within a shorter period of processing time. When a target disk is specified for hash value calculation, a segment division block divides the target disk into fixed-length segments. A first hash-value calculation block applies a one-way hash function to all data in each segment to calculate a per-segment hash value. A second hash-value calculation block arranges the per-segment hash values in a segment order corresponding to the order of the data stored on the target disk and applies the one-way hash function again to the arranged per-segment hash values to calculate a total hash value. The hash value calculated in this manner is defined as a hash value of the target disk.

A storage management apparatus performs migration considering an I / O load that will be generated during migration between a source array group and a destination array group. To migrate data from the source array group to the destination array group, a bandwidth that is available for use between the source and destination array groups is calculated. A volume that is within the source array group, and that has a write I / O amount that is smaller than the calculated bandwidth, is selected as the source volume for the migration, wherein the write I / O amount is the information transmission amount of information that is written. Data is thus migrated from the selected volume to the movement destination array group.
