Customer Pain Points

Partner Pain Points “Customers are asking for PowerShell and REST APIs. Microsoft is asking us to build providers for integration. Which one should do I build?” “The administrators that use our management consoles do not have any visibility into the virtualization environment. They need to see managed devices in the context of virtualization.”

Evolving Storage Management

A Fresh Perspective

Private Cloud Storage Management

Windows Server 2012 – Storage Management API Windows Storage Management API (Windows PowerShell and WMI) Pass-through API for extensibility (WMI) Storage Array Vendor-provided SMI-S provider (CIMXML or WMI) Storage Array Vendor-provided transport and/or protocol
