| Abstract: | This paper reviewed two types of network storage technique: NAS and SAN. After comparing and analyzing, it concluded that the ultimate realization of network storage will be in the eventual convergence of NAS and SAN architectures. Currently, all the integration methods are based on the architecture level. This paper presented a device level integration scheme based on IXP1200 network processor. The device can be used as an NAS file server or an SAN's storage node. Furthermore, it can be used as a bridge to connect NAS and SAN, and then be shared by their clients. |
