Abstract:
Disclosed are systems and methods of providing virtualized storage that may include establishing, through a load balancer, a transport connection between a device and a group of fabric-attached storage devices, and transferring data between the device and the group of fabric-attached storage devices through the transport connection using a transport protocol, wherein the group of fabric-attached storage devices comprises two or more fabric-attached storage devices and is accessed by the device as a logical storage device. A storage device may include a storage medium, a network fabric interface, and a storage controller configured to transfer data between the storage medium and a device through the network fabric interface over a transport connection, wherein the storage controller is configured to share the transport connection with another data storage device that is fabric-attached.
