  • Patent number: 11073988
    Abstract: A device and a method for virtual storage are provided. The device includes a physical processor, a hypervisor and a physical storage. The hypervisor is executed on the physical processor and configured to create at least one client virtual machine and a controller virtual machine. The physical storage is clustered with physical storage of at least another device via the controller virtual machine to form a storage cluster. The controller virtual machine is further configured to define a virtual storage pool in the storage cluster and create at least one virtual storage controller virtual machine to interface the at least one client virtual machine with the virtual storage pool so that the at least one client virtual machine accesses the virtual storage pool via the at least one virtual storage controller virtual machine and the controller virtual machine. The method is applied to the device to implement the operations.

  • Publication number: 20160140194
    Abstract: A data migration system and a data migration method thereof are provided. The data migration system comprises a transmission unit, a storage unit and a processing unit. The transmission unit is configured to connect with a client and a legacy storage system. The processing unit is configured to: receive a first data request from the client via the transmission unit, wherein the first data request indicates a required data; determine that the required data is missed in the storage unit; retrieve the required data from the legacy storage system via the transmission unit; copy the required data in the storage unit; and transmit the required data to the client via the transmission unit.

  • Publication number: 20150201015
    Abstract: A storage system and an operation method thereof are provided. The storage system comprises at least one independent storage device and at least one independent gateway device. The at least one independent storage device and the at least one independent gateway device are separated. The at least one independent storage device is configured to read in or read out data of at least one electronic device. The at least one independent gateway device is configured to control the access of the data between the at least one electronic device and the at least one independent storage device. The operation method is applied to the storage system to implement the aforesaid operations.
