What We Heard from You

“I don’t have enough visibility into storage from the management tools.”

“I want to show how virtual machines and virtualization hosts relate to the underlying storage environment.”

“Troubleshooting storage issues is problematic - my storage team does not know much about my virtual environment.”

Enables the discovery of storage and

mapping to virtual environment. VMM

relies on vendor developed storage providers that plug

into SMAPI.

Creation of Logical Units (Thick, Thin, Snapshot, Clone) and File Shares

Assignment of Logical Units and File Shares to Hyper-V servers

Allocation of Storage to Host Groups and Clouds

Host Disk Initialization, Partitioning, Volume Formatting

What We Heard from You

“I do not have the expertise to automate storage operations” “I made a

targeted investment in automation to reduce human error”

“There are too many APIs that I need to work with across different arrays”

“I spent lots of time waiting for storage to be provisioned”

Allocation of Storage to Host Groups

Allocation of Storage to Clouds

Storage Provisioning

Automate block and file storage operations in a private cloud environment, enabling on-
