ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides the ability to transfer data between a initiating computer system and a target computer system with a block data storage device, where the target computer system is remote relative to the initiating computer system, that is interface independent relative to the type of the block data storage device employed. In one embodiment, a virtual device driver is employed that implements a command set that is interface independent relative to the block data storage device.
