Storage virtualization integrates multiple storage devices in order to create one pool. This is done by collecting the storage capacity of several devices and present them to the server as a single entity, thus eliminating redundant hardware and improving the efficiency of storage.

A VDR (virtual room) is used for streamlined due diligence processes and to solicit funds from investors. It allows multiple parties to work together in a secure environment. VDRs offer a variety of tools to simplify managing projects and facilitate collaboration. However, they can be expensive and do not have the advanced features available in cloud storage solutions.

Cloud storage services allow users to store and retrieve data remotely via browsers, which decreases the need for expensive hardware redundancies. However, it does require trust that your company’s data is kept safe by a third-party.

Block storage virtualization is a program that creates a barrier between the physical disk drives and the operating system which allows them to be read quicker than being read directly from the drive. It also eliminates the need for a separate hardware platform, such as RAID that manages storage devices.

File virtualization concentrates on NAS storage architecture. This allows companies to optimize their storage usage as well as consolidate servers and make non-disruptive changes to files. It accomplishes this by removing the dependency on the physical directories and file systems as well as providing advanced functions like caching, tiering and replication at the storage virtualization level.
