Storage virtualization. Storage virtualization is a concept and term used within computer science. Specifically, storage systems may use virtualization concepts as a tool to enable better functionality and more advanced features within and across storage systems. Broadly speaking, a 'storage system' is also known as a storage array or Disk array or a filer. Storage systems typically use special hardware and software along with disk drives in order to provide very fast and reliable storage for computing and data processing. Storage systems are complex, and may be thought of as a special purpose computer designed to provide storage capacity along with advanced data protection features.

Disk drives are only one element within a storage system, along with hardware and special purpose embedded software within the system. Within the context of a storage system, there are two primary types of virtualization that can occur: Block virtualization[edit] Address space remapping[edit] [edit] I/O redirection[edit] Pooling[edit] SS_080626_EN_Hi-Stor_BNF_StorSentry_Success_Story_812.

They have created a comprehensive directory of file formats and the programs that can understand them.

It’s truly a great resource for digital archivists because a search for a file format will yield information about its origin, its particular specification signatures, associated rights, and more. The National Archives also developed DROID to work in conjunction with PRONOM. DROID can automatically identify file formats in batch operations. Growing from a partnership between PRONOM and the Global Digital Format Registry (GDFR) is the forthcoming Unified Digital Format Registry (UDFR). Responding to comments and moderating them can take up a lot of time.
