A device and a method for virtual storage are provided. The device includes a physical processor, a hypervisor and a physical storage. The hypervisor is executed on the physical processor and configured to create at least one client virtual machine and a controller virtual machine. The physical storage is clustered with physical storage of at least another device via the controller virtual machine to form a storage cluster. The controller virtual machine is further configured to define a virtual storage pool in the storage cluster and create at least one virtual storage controller virtual machine to interface the at least one client virtual machine with the virtual storage pool so that the at least one client virtual machine accesses the virtual storage pool via the at least one virtual storage controller virtual machine and the controller virtual machine. The method is applied to the device to implement the operations.
