ABSTRACT:
An architecture for managing a switched storage network consisting of one or more data storage volumes and one or more hosts. The data storage volumes are in a switched storage network. One or more processors provide the switching capability for the switched storage network. The one or more processors are capable of embodying logical constructions of a storage presentation layer and a volume presentation layer.
