Systems and methods for interconnecting a SAN with hosts on a remote
network are disclosed. The systems and methods receive a set of device
identifiers for a set of physical storage devices on the SAN. The device
identifiers are mapped to a set of virtual device identifiers. Virtual
devices having the virtual device identifiers are created on the remote
network. The virtual devices correspond with the physical devices.
Commands and responses are mapped and communicated between the virtual
devices and the corresponding physical devices.
