Storage hypervisor

A storage hypervisor is like a manager that helps you arrange and keep track of your data storage. It helps you divide your data storage into lots of different sections, like a big closet, and then it closes the closet door so all the different sections don't get mixed up. A storage hypervisor can also help you optimize the use of your data storage by making sure the right data is stored in the right place. So if you want to store a lot of pictures, the storage hypervisor will put those pictures on the shelf, but if you want to store videos, the storage hypervisor will put those on another shelf. That way, you can easily find what you're looking for without having to look through all the sections of your closet.
