Abstract
Storage Virtualization became the only way to cope with the ever-growing amounts of data for modern corporate IT and to handle the demands of storage re-configurations as well as demanding data migrations. We describe how storage virtualization frees applications from knowing details about storage systems through adding a new layer of software and hardware.
As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality
