Patent Portfolio for Sale

Web-Controlled Internet Storage Area Network (IP-SAN)

Distributed SAN--Internet Protocol (IP) Based Virtual Storage


Overview

 

This patented software system has been developed to provide centralized management of virtual storage through a web-based console.

The labor intensive process of manually configuring a storage service pool has been eradicated by this system. Forming, organizing and managing an automated storage service pool is now made possible through a web-based console.  

The UDP protocol is unable to handle the traffic load resulting from a network-wide storage service pool.  This system provides a new protocol combining UDP and TCP-IP standards to speed up the data flow and facilitate the formation of large virtual storage resource across Intranet and public IP-networks. Storage pools can now span mutiple networks and domains.

Primary Application of the Technology

One obvious application of this system is to provide 'storage on demand' over the Internet.

Other Potential Applications

There are many other potential applications including virtual file systems for document management and network-based backup.

Competitive Advantage

This patented system enables automated high-speed storage virtualization over the Internet that can be managed from a web-based console.

A single host is able to access multiple storage resources.  Multiple hosts are also able to share a single storage resource.
