Coraid Automates Storage Management for Virtualization

Coraid Inc., has announced Coraid EtherDrive SAN Manager (ESM) 1.5, its newest management platform which provides integration with VMware vCenter Server and Microsoft VSS. The platform pools storage resources for simplified storage operations by eliminating multiple layers of SAN complexity and enabling automation in virtualized and cloud computing environments.

"Coraid EtherDrive SAN Manager leverages the scale-out architecture of EtherDrive and the shared global namespace of Coraid's CorOS™ operating system to monitor and configure up to petabytes of storage as a pooled resource. With a graphical user interface and native REST APIs for all functions, administrators gain visibility and control over their entire storage network. This uniquely enables administrators to deliver storage as an on-demand utility for a wide variety of application environments across their organizations.

"EtherDrive SAN Manager includes the Coraid ESM for vCenter Plug-in, which provides VMware administrators visibility and control over virtual machine storage, including virtual machine-to-storage mappings and the coordination and scheduling of array snapshots for data protection. The platform also includes Microsoft VSS integration to communicate with Microsoft Windows Server and Microsoft Hyper-V to quiesce applications before storage snapshots, ensuring data consistency."
