Abstract:
There is provided a storage arrangement and a method of operating thereof. The storage arrangement comprises a first storage system and one or more second storage systems operatively coupled to the first storage system. First control layer is operable to handle a first logical address space comprising a first logical group characterized by a plurality of logical block addresses; first control layer comprises a first mapping module handling a first mapping structure associated with first logical group. Each second control layer comprises, respectively, a second mapping module handling a second mapping structure associated with first logical group. The first mapping structure is configured to provide mapping between logical addresses related to first logical group and corresponding addresses related to first physical address spaces, and/or to point to respective second mapping structure configured to provide mapping between these logical addresses and corresponding addresses related to respective second physical address spaces.
