Description
BACKGROUND
0001 Block level storage involves the creating of raw storage Volumes. Server-based operating systems connect to these volumes and use them as individual hard drives. Block level storage services may be based on file or volume repre sentations. In a file representation, files can be shared with various users. By creating a block-based Volume and then installing an operating system or file system and attaching to that Volume, files can be shared using the native operating system. In a Volume representation, each Volume is attached to a specific machine offering raw storage capacity.
