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.
