Abstract
A network connection is established between a virtual storage appliance (VSA) in a virtual machine and a storage server system. The virtual machine can run on a computing device remote to the storage server system. Access is provided to a second shared namespace of data at the VSA over the network connection. The second shared namespace is a policy defined subset of a first shared namespace of the storage server system. Data in the second shared namespace is accessible at the storage server system by at least one other computing device communicatively coupled to the storage server system. The data in the second shared namespace at the VSA is replicated to create a local copy at the computing device. Changes to the local copy are synchronized with the data in the second shared namespace at the storage sever system.
