  • Data storage management system and method
    Publication number: 20050207235
    Abstract: A data storage management system and method includes a physical storage, an interim storage which acts as a virtual storage to the physical storage, and a manager. The manager assigns a first interim storage portion to the first computer for a time duration in lieu of the physical storage upon receipt of an allocation request from the first computer requesting allocation of data storage space on the physical storage, and assigns a different second interim storage portion to the second computer for a time duration in lieu of the physical storage upon receipt of an allocation request, during the time duration in which the first interim storage portion is assigned to the first computer, from the second computer requesting allocation of data storage space on the physical storage so that the computers have simultaneous access to the interim storage and the physical storage is free from monopolization by the computers.
