What is File Virtualization?

File virtualization involves uniting multiple storage devices into a single logical pool of file storage. The primary driver behind file virtualization is the desire to shield users and administrators from the complexity of the underlying storage environment. Other goals include simplified management, more efficient capacity usage and allocation, and reduced management costs.
