SAN Volume Controller for Cisco MDS 9000 Supported devices Partnerships

The SAN Volume Controller Storage Software for Cisco MDS 9000 provides virtualization software on a Cisco MDS 9000 Family switch.

This software provides symmetric virtualization by creating a pool of managed disks from the attached storage subsystems, which are then mapped to a set of virtual disks for use by various attached host computer systems. System administrators can view and access a common pool of storage on the SAN, which enables them to use storage resources more efficiently, and provides a common base for advanced functions. The SAN Volume Controller Storage Software for Cisco MDS 9000 is analogous to a logical volume manager (LVM) on a SAN.
