Abstract
This article examines the integration of blockchain, distributed file system, and virtualization technologies (including Virtual SAN, VSAN) to improve data storage privacy and efficiency. The limitations of traditional centralized storage models are presented, such as vulnerability to tampering, limited flexibility in access control, difficulty in auditing, and low resource efficiency. A concept for an integrated data storage system based on blockchain smart contracts is proposed. This system incorporates data encryption, implementation of an access control strategy based on blockchain attributes, the use of virtualization optimized through VSAN, distributed key management, and privacy-enhancing technologies (zero-knowledge proof, trusted computing environment). The proposed architecture provides flexible access control, efficient data processing, and a high level of security in a public or private blockchain environment.
