Virtual Storage Access Method (VSAM) [1] is an IBM direct-access storage device (DASD) file storage access method, first used in the OS/VS1, OS/VS2 Release 1 (SVS) and Release 2 (MVS) operating systems, later used throughout the Multiple Virtual Storage (MVS) architecture and now in z/OS.
5740-AM3 Sequential Access Method Extended (SAM-E) SAM-E improves the performance of BPAM, BSAM and QSAM on direct access storage devices. 5740-AM8 Access Method Services Cryptographic Option 5748-UT2 Offline 3800 Utility. In June 1980, IBM announced MVS/System Product (MVS/SP) as a replacement for MVS/SE.
MVS/XA, or Multiple Virtual Storage/Extended Architecture, was a version of MVS that supported the 370-XA architecture, which had a new I/O architecture and also expanded addresses from 24 bits to 31 bits, providing a 2 gigabyte addressable memory area. [9]
A virtual storage area network (virtual SAN, VSAN or vSAN) is a logical representation of a physical storage area network (SAN). A VSAN abstracts the storage-related operations from the physical storage layer, and provides shared storage access to the applications and virtual machines by combining the servers' local storage over a network into a single or multiple storage pools.
Virtual Disk - a unit of storage presented to the host. The release 6 GUI refers to a VDisk as a Volume. Managed Disk (MDisk) - a unit of storage (a LUN) from a real, external disk array, virtualized by the SVC. An MDisk is the base to create an image mode VDisk.
In computer science, storage virtualization is "the process of presenting a logical view of the physical storage resources to" [1] a host computer system, "treating all storage media (hard disk, optical disk, tape, etc.) in the enterprise as a single pool of storage." [2] A "storage system" is also known as a storage array, disk array, or filer ...
An access method is a function of a mainframe operating system that enables access to data on disk, tape or other external devices. Access methods were present in several mainframe operating systems since the late 1950s, under a variety of names; the name access method was introduced in 1963 in the IBM OS/360 operating system.

VSE n (Virtual Storage Extended) is an operating system for IBM mainframe computers, the latest one in the DOS/360 lineage, which originated in 1965.It is less common than z/OS and is mostly used on smaller machines.
