摘要:
A storage router (56) and storage network (50) provide virtual local storage on remote SCSI storage devices (60, 62, 64) to Fibre Channel devices. A plurality of Fibre Channel devices, such as workstations (58), are connected to a Fibre Channel transport medium (52), and a plurality of SCSI storage devices (60, 62, 64) are connected to a SCSI bus transport medium (54). The storage router (56) interfaces between the Fibre Channel transport medium (52) and the SCSI bus transport medium (54). The storage router (56) maps between the workstations (58) and the SCSI storage devices (60, 62, 64) and implements access controls for storage space on the SCSI storage devices (60, 62, 64). The storage router (56) then allows access from the workstations (58) to the SCSI storage devices (60, 62, 64) using native low level, block protocol in accordance with the mapping and the access controls.
摘要:
A system and method for storing encrypted electronic data using a transmission Control Protocol (TCP), requires leaving both the header and the first 48 bytes of the "0" data packet in the data area of the TCP format in clear text. Consequently, the data can be routed to a main address (storage facility), and then to a sub-address (storage device) for storage. A single compression/encryption operation can be accomplished, before storage, at the host (server), the network switch, or the final storage device.

摘要:
At the time of data migration, together with data, information about data access is also preferably taken over from a data migration source to a data migration destination. A storage system is connected to a computer 2, and a name server 5 exercising control over the interrelation between initiators and targets, and includes a first storage node 1a and a second storage node 1b. The first storage node has a first logical unit to 120a, 121a which a first target is set, and the second storage node has a second logical unit 120b. For data migration from the first logical unit to the second logical unit, the first storage node forwards data stored in the first logical unit to the second storage node, and the second storage node stores the data into the second logical unit. The first storage node also forwards information about the first target to the second storage node, and the second storage node sets a target to the second logical unit using the received information about the first target.

摘要:
The present invention provides a method for a local area network router (38), that allows communication between a number of remotely located users (10), and a plurality of peripheral devices (44-58) connected to the local area network router (38). Users may access the local area network using wireless devices or the Internet (42). The peripheral devices, which may include a wide variety of multi-media storage, playback, printing, or other functions, are connected to the router via local interfaces, which communicate with the peripheral devices via established protocols. Each of the peripheral devices (44-58) is provided with an IP address (86), which facilitates direct communication of the users (10) with the peripheral devices and permits direct communication with the devices over the Internet (42). Data packets destined for the IP address (86) of a peripheral device (78-84) are routed through the local interface (68-74), which converts the data utilizing compatible communication protocols for the target peripheral device (78-84).
