20080307444STORAGE ROUTER AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING VIRTUAL LOCAL STORAGE - A storage router (12-11-2008
20090319715Storage Router and Method for Providing Virtual Local Storage - A storage router (12-24-2009
20090327566Storage Router and Method for Providing Virtual Local Storage - A storage router (12-31-2009
20100121993STORAGE ROUTER AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING VIRTUAL LOCAL STORAGE - A storage router and storage network provide virtual local storage on remote storage devices. A plurality of devices are connected to a first transport medium. In one embodiment, a storage router maintains a map to allocate storage space on the remote storage devices to devices connected to the first transport medium by associating representations of the devices connected to the first transport medium with representations of storage space on the remote storage devices. The storage router controls access from the devices connected to the first transport medium to the storage space on the remote storage devices in accordance with the map and allows access from devices connected to the first transport medium to the remote storage devices using native low level block protocol.05-13-2010
20110035527Storage Router and Method for Providing Virtual Local Storage - A data storage gateway and method for providing virtual local storage on remote storage devices to devices. A plurality of devices, such as workstations, are connected to a first transport medium, and a plurality of storage devices are connected to a second transport medium. The storage router maps the virtual storage to one or more storage devices connected to the second transport medium such that the one or more storage devices contain at least a portion of the virtual storage and wherein the storage router allows access from the devices connected to the first transport medium to the virtual storage using native low level block protocol.02-10-2011
20110035528Storage Router and Method for Providing Virtual Local Storage - A storage router and method for providing virtual local storage on remote storage devices to devices are provided. Devices are connected to a first transport medium, and a plurality of storage devices are connected to a second transport medium. In one embodiment, the storage router maintains a map to allocate storage space on the remote storage devices to devices connected to the first transport medium by associating representations of the devices connected to the first transport medium with representations of storage space on the remote storage devices, wherein each representation of a device connected to the first transport medium is associated with one or more representations of storage space on the remote storage devices and controls access from the devices connected to the first transport medium to the storage space on the remote storage devices in accordance with the map and using native low level block protocol.02-10-2011
20110040949Storage Router and Method for Providing Virtual Local Storage - A storage router and method for providing virtual local storage on remote storage devices to devices are provided. Devices are connected to a first transport medium, and a plurality of storage devices are connected to a second transport medium. In one embodiment, the storage router maintains a map to allocate storage space of the discovered storage devices to devices connected to the first transport medium by associating representations of the devices connected to the first transport medium with representations of the storage space and controls access from the devices connected to the first transport medium to the discovered storage devices in accordance with the map and using native low level block protocols.02-17-2011
20110106998Storage Router and Method for Providing Virtual Local Storage - A storage router and method for providing virtual local storage on remote storage devices to devices are provided. A plurality of devices, such as workstations, are connected to a first transport medium, and a plurality of storage devices are connected to a second transport medium. In one embodiment, the storage router maintains a map to allocate storage space on the remote storage devices to devices connected to the first transport medium by associating representations of the devices connected to the first transport medium with representations of storage space on the remote storage devices, wherein each representation of a device connected to the first transport medium is associated with one or more representations of storage space on the remote storage devices and receives and processes native low level block protocol requests from the devices connected to the first transport medium to access allocated storage.05-05-2011
