Future research work may focus on Object-based Storage Device architecture simulation. Main future development work of SANSim includes

• IP storage module, like iFCP and iSCSI.

• Object-based Storage Device module.

• SAN File System: Enable multiple Hosts accessing the same LUN.

• Cluster HA: Enable Host redundancy.
