Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for implementing a virtual Storage Area Network (SAN) in software. According to one embodiment, a method for implementing a virtual SAN can comprise defining an application for accessing a computing grid for storing information wherein defining the application for accessing the computing grid for storing the information comprises defining a resource and defining one or more state objects for the resource, wherein the one or more state objects are handled independent from the resource. For example, the computing grid can comprise an Oracle Coherence grid. Such a computing grid can maintain a primary copy and a backup copy of the information and provides the backup of the information if the primary copy is unavailable. The information stored on the computing grid can be accessed via the application.
A method for implementing a virtual Storage Area Network (SAN), the method comprising:
A system comprising:
A machine-readable memory having stored therein a series of instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to implement a virtual Storage Area Network by defining an application for accessing a computing grid for storing information wherein defining the application for accessing the computing grid for storing the information comprises defining a resource and defining one or more state objects for the resource, wherein the one or more state objects are handled independent from the resource.
