Linux
Storage Orchestrator (LSO) is a software application developed for enabling
easy use of an industry standard PC or server running Linux as an iSCSI Storage
Array or IP-SAN Virtualization Appliance.
Linux has
a large collection of components and applications, each having rich features
for storage configuration, management and presentation. However these software
pieces, while being compatible with each other, are totally independent and are
very tricky to manage as a stack requiring highly skilled administration staff.
LSO
implements the logic to orchestrate storage configuration and management using md (Linux Software RAID), LVM (Logical Volume Manager) as well as provisioning
it to hosts connected on IP-SAN using iET (iSCSI Enterprise Target).
LSO
provides an intuitive Web UI with the
following features:
- Tabular display of complete
storage stack
- Rich dashboard with different
charts allowing an administrator the big picture view along with granular
access to detailed information for ease of decision making
- Wizards and forms for
- Creating and managing
storage configurations
- Easy access to features such
as snapshots, volume and volume group expansion etc.
- Storage provisioning to
IP-SAN based hosts as iSCSI Logical Units
- LUN Masking/Access control
While LSO
can be used as a stand alone entity, it can also be used to quickly add iSCSI
feature for Linux based networking and storage infrastructure products. We
offer services for customization and integration of LSO.
