A computer network includes multiple storage nodes (103a-106a) each having a physical storage resource (121a). A system management server (150) on the network (100) identifies the physical storage (121a) on the network (100) and collects it into a virtual storage pool (160). When an application (121) executing on a storage client accesses network storage, the system management server (150) allocates a segment of the virtual storage pool (160) to the application. The segment of the virtual storage pool (160) is stored on a physical storage (121a) resource on the network (100). The system management server monitors the application's use of the network storage and transparently and dynamically re-allocates the virtual segment to an optimal physical storage resource.

L'invention concerne un réseau informatique formé de multiples noeuds de stockage (103a-106a) comprenant chacun une ressource de stockage physique (121a). Un serveur de gestion du système (150) sur le réseau (100) identifie le dispositif de stockage physique (121a) sur le réseau (100) et l'ajoute à un groupe de stockage virtuel (160). Lorsqu'une application (121) exécutée sur un dispositif de stockage client accède au dispositif de stockage du réseau, le serveur de gestion du système (150) affecte un segment du groupe de stockage virtuel (160) à l'application. Le segment du groupe de stockage virtuel est stocké dans une ressource de stockage physique sur le réseau. Le serveur de gestion du système surveille l'utilisation par l'application du dispositif de stockage du réseau et réaffecte de manière transparente et dynamique le segment virtuel à une ressource de stockage physique optimale.
