Storage system and method for controlling the same
First Claim
1. A storage control device for use in a storage system that carries out sending/receiving of data to/from a plurality of external devices via a common network, said storage control device controlling access from said plurality of external devices to a storage apparatus for storing said data, said storage control device comprising:
- an external interface section for accepting access according to different types of protocols from said plurality of external devices via said common network; and
a data-transfer control section for analyzing said protocol used for said access from said external device accessing through said external interface, and for carrying out said sending/receiving of data based on a result of said analysis.
