Secure access to shared storage resources

A system for accessing stored information, comprising:

• at least a first processor;
• a memory;
• and
• a program including a plurality of instructions stored in the memory that, in response to selection of an attribute, are executed by the at least first processor to:
• store first storage information in a storage device of a storage system on a first network,
• transform the first storage information into a first virtual storage instance,
• provide access to the first virtual storage instance on a second network not in communication with the first network and the storage device,
• enable over the second network the modification of the first virtual storage instance to create a modified first virtual storage instance,
• transform the first modified virtual storage instance into first modified storage information based on the first modified virtual storage instance, and
• store on the storage device the first modified storage information.

A computer program product for accessing stored information, the computer program product comprising:

• a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code being executable by a processor to:
• store first storage information in a storage device of a storage system on a first network,
• transform the first storage information into a first virtual storage instance,
• provide access to the first virtual storage instance on a second network not in communication with the first network and the storage device,
• enable over the second network the modification of the first virtual storage instance to create a first modified virtual storage instance,
• transform the first modified virtual storage instance into first modified storage information based on the first modified virtual storage instance, and
• store on the storage device the first modified storage information.

A system for accessing stored information, comprising:

• a first storage device for storing the information,
• a second storage device for storing an instance of the information,
• a first network providing communication between the first and second storage devices, and
• a second network providing access to the instance of the information but no access to the first network and the first storage device.
