Storage Hypervisor is a program for storage virtualization that bridges the gap between physical storage devices and the virtualized environment. This software layer combines multiple storage device types into virtual storage resources that can be dynamically created, resized, and used without interruption.
By aggregating and pooling storage devices into a unified resource, storage hypervisors allow for efficient utilization and scaling of storage volumes. Additionally, storage hypervisors offer features like snapshots, compression, deduplication, etc.
