1. A storage system for handling input/output (I/O) requests from a plurality of processors, wherein a first processor of the processors sends block I/O requests and a second processor of said processors sends file I/O requests, comprising:a storage media including a plurality of disk units;a bus coupled to said storage media;a cache memory, coupled to said bus, storing data in response to said block I/O requests and said file I/O requests; anda plurality of interfaces, coupled to said cache memory, to be coupled to said first and second processors,wherein a first interface of said interfaces, coupled to said first processor, receives block I/O requests from said first processor to access a first portion of said storage media, andwherein a second interface of said interfaces, coupled to said second processor, receives file I/O requests to access a second portion of said storage media. 2. A storage system according to claim 1, wherein said file I/O requests received by said second interface are Common Internet File System (CIFS) or Network File System (NFS) type I/O requests. 3. A storage system according to claim 2, wherein said storage system further comprises:a third interface for receiving a file I/O request as one of said plurality of interfaces, andwherein said third interface receives CIFS or NFS type file I/O requests. 4. A storage system according to claim 1, wherein said file I/O requests received at said second interface are HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) type I/O requests. 5. A storage system according to claim 1, wherein said block I/O requests received at said first interface are Small Computer Standard Interface (SCSI) type I/O requests. 6. A storage system according to claim 1, wherein said storage system further comprises:a terminal for administrating portions of said storage media controls to allocate said portions storing data for said block I/O requests and file I/O requests. 7. A storage system for handling input/output (I/O) requests from a plurality of processors, wherein a first processor of the processors sends block I/O requests and a second processor of said processors sends file I/O requests, comprising:a storage media including a plurality of disk units;a bus coupled to said storage media; anda plurality of interfaces, coupled to said bus, to be coupled to said first and second processors,wherein a first interface of said interfaces coupled to said first processor receives block I/O requests from said first processor to access a first portion of said storage media,wherein a second interface of said interfaces coupled to said second processor receives file I/O requests to access a second portion of said storage media, andwherein said storage system prohibits from accessing said first portion from said second processor. 8. A storage system according to claim 7, wherein said file I/O requests received by said second interface are Common Internet File System (CIFS) or Network File System (NFS) type I/O requests. 9. A storage system according to claim 7, wherein said file I/O requests received at said second interface are HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) type I/O requests. 10. A storage system according to claim 7, wherein said storage system further comprises:a third interface for receiving a file I/O request as one of said plurality of interfaces, andwherein said third interface receives CIFS or NFS type file I/O requests. 11. A storage system according to claim 7, wherein said block I/O requests received at said first interface are Small Computer Standard Interface (SCSI) type I/O requests. 12. A storage system according to claim 7, wherein said storage system further comprises:a terminal for administrating portions of said storage media controls to allocate said portions storing data for said block I/O requests and file I/O requests. 13. A storage system according to claim 7, wherein said storage system further includes a cache memory, operatively coupled to said bus, storing data in response to said block I/O requests and said file I/O requests. 14. A storage system for handling input/output (I/O) requests from a plurality of processors, wherein a first processor of the processors sends block I/O requests and a second processor of said processors sends file I/O requests, comprising:a storage media including a plurality of disk units;a bus coupled to said storage media; anda plurality of interfaces, coupled to said bus, to be connected to said first and second processors,wherein a first interface of said interfaces coupled to said first processor receives block I/O requests from said first processor to access a first portion of said storage media,wherein a second interface of said interfaces coupled to said second processor receives file I/O requests to access a second portions of said storage media, andwherein said storage system prohibits from accessing said second portion from said first processor. 15. A storage system according to claim 14, wherein said file I/O requests received by said second interface are Common Internet File System (CIFS) or Network File System (NFS) type I/O requests. 16. A storage system according to claim 14, wherein said file I/O requests received at said second interface are HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) type I/O requests. 17. A storage system according to claim 14, wherein said storage system further comprises:a third interface for receiving a file I/O request as one of said plurality of interfaces, andwherein said third interface receives CIES or NFS type file I/O requests. 18. A storage system according to claim 14, wherein said block I/O requests received at said first interface are Small Computer Standard Interface (SCSI) type I/O requests. 19. A storage system according to claim 14, wherein said storage system further comprises:a terminal for administrating portions of said storage media controls to allocate said portions storing data for said block I/O requests and file I/O requests. 20. A storage system according to claim 14, wherein said storage system further comprises:a cache memory, coupled to said bus, storing data in response to said block I/O requests and said file I/O requests.
