Disk aggregation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[Category:Computer storage]

Disk aggregation is the process of combining more than one logical or physical disk drive into a larger logical disk drive.

This is done for various reasons :

  • creating a single logical disk with a capacity larger than any of the available physical disks
  • providing a simple way to increase disk performance
  • a simple way to implement LUN level storage virtualization
