Abstract
In a system that separates the control (management) layer from the data layer of a distributed storage system, an application programming interface (API) provider is presented that manages storage awareness of the virtual control servers with at least one virtual array and underlying physical arrays. The system described herein advantageously enables multi-tenant support to provide individual and/or isolated access to shared storage resources among multiple tenants and offers improved scalability and operations in a cloud deployment.
