One interface for every storage vendor
Standards-based SMI-S provider engineering across NAS, storage arrays, and data center environments.
SMI-S provider engineering for a global Fortune 500 enterprise storage company
Among the largest enterprise storage technology companies globally, this Fortune 500 client operated across data center devices, NAS, and storage arrays — each on different vendor systems, with no common management layer. Every vendor meant a separate administration path, and interoperability had no standard foundation.
Calsoft built an SMI-S provider layer to close that gap.
- SMI-S and CIM-based provider components connecting storage systems to a unified management console
- Single web-based interface giving data center teams control across all vendor environments
- Reusable provider workflows reducing per-vendor delivery effort
- Firmware-level engineering in C for device-specific, lower-level storage control
The engagement covered provider development from design through testing, accelerating SMI-S adoption across networked storage environments.
