Abstract
A storage apparatus includes a processing unit that functions a SAN OS which performs SAN control and a NAS OS which performs NAS control to be operated on a virtualized OS, an inter-OS communication unit that transmits and receives data between the NAS OS and the SAN OS, a transmission controller that transmits a NAS input/output request received in the NAS OS to the SAN OS through the inter-OS communication unit, and a NAS request processing unit that processes the NAS input/output request received from the transmission controller in the SAN OS. With this configuration, the NAS and the SAN can be efficiently integrated in a storage apparatus.
