LVM is a form of storage virtualization.

Pros and cons of it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storage_virtualization

Another source:

...
Let us start with what features are provided by LVM:
...
Stripe whole or parts of LVs across multiple PVs, in a fashion similar to RAID 0.
Mirror whole or parts of LVs, in a fashion similar to RAID 1.
...
And now something that does not work with LVM:
LVM does not provide parity-based redundancy across LVs as with RAID 4, RAID 5
or RAID 6. This functionality is instead provided by Linux metadisks, Hardware
RAID arrays or LUNs (Logical Unit Numbers) mounted from some SAN, which can be
used as LVM PVs.
