Technologies for managing application configurations and associated credentials of a unified collaboration application include a centralized hub computing device configured to install an integration of a cloud-based application and establish a link the integration to a unified collaboration application. To do so, the centralized hub computing device is configured to receive configuration input for the integration from a user, store the configuration in an input application configuration database of the centralized hub computing device, and enable the application integration such that a communication channel can be established between the integration and the unified collaboration application via the centralized hub computing device. Additional embodiments are described herein.

Technologies for managing application configurations and associated credentials

Network storage system configuration via a network is disclosed. A network address assignment component is configured to listen for network discovery requests over the network. Responsive to receiving a network discovery request from a network storage system, one or more candidate network addresses are (e.g., randomly) generated until an available candidate network address is generated. For example, if a first candidate network address is determined as available (e.g., not used by another device within the network), then the first candidate network address is offered and/or assigned to the network storage system as an initial configuration network address that may be used to provide configuration access to the network storage system, otherwise a second candidate network address is generated and/or evaluated for availability. As such, configuration access may be provided over the network to the network storage system regardless of whether the network comprises an IP address assigning (e.g., DHCP) server.

Network address assignment with duplication detection

Systems and methods are disclosed for rapidly provisioning of virtual storage objects, whereby such rapid provisioning does not require clearing of physical storage resources when initialized for use in a virtual storage object. Accordingly, a virtual storage object of embodiments of the invention is provisioned without the time-intensive process of clearing (e.g., writing zeroes to) data blocks of the physical storage resources.
