Abstract

Systems and methods of servicing requests of a first file system communicated in accordance with a first storage protocol using a storage system that is responsive to requests communicated according to a second storage protocol and that is organized in accordance with a second file system. Among other things, this allows the use of potentially more reliable and robust storage systems for holding information of the first file system and allows potentially more reliable and robust management tools to manage the information of the first file system.
