Storage virtualization is the abstraction of physical storage devices—disks, arrays, and SANs—into a pooled, logical resource that can be managed independently of the underlying hardware. IT infrastructure and storage administrators use it to simplify provisioning, improve utilization, and enable features like thin provisioning, replication, and non-disruptive migration across heterogeneous storage systems. It underpins technologies from enterprise SANs to cloud block storage services.
