Abstract

Virtualization is an emerging and optimistic prospect in the IT industry. Its impact has a footprint widely in digital infrastructure. Many innovativeness sectors utilized the concept of virtualization to reduce the cost of frameworks. In this paper, we have designed and developed storage virtualization for physical functional solutions. It is an auspicious type of virtualization that is accessible, secure, scalable, and manageable. In the paper, we have proposed the pool storage method used the RAID-Z file system with the ZFS model which provides the duplication of site approach, compression blueprint, adequate backup methods, expansion in error-correcting techniques, and tested procedure on the real-time network location. Therefore, this study provides useful guidelines to design and develop optimized storage virtualization.
