Improved operational efficiency through simplified manageability Comprehensive storage management with SMI-S support Enables consistent, repeatable, and reliable automation. Managing storage using VMM. Makes complex tasks easier to perform with a simple wizard- driven experience. Provides a richer set of tools for IT pros and developers. Windows PowerShell, Server Manager.
SIMPLIFIED STORAGE MANAGEMENT Unified storage management SMI-S and WMI Centralized storage management interface for administrators. Management software Third-party File server manager Microsoft System Center management application Supports management of diverse set of storage. Storage Windows storage management API (Windows PowerShell and WMI) 10x faster disk/partition enumeration operations. Pass-through API for extensibility (WMI) management APIs Storage management provider (SMP) interface Enables storage spaces to be managed via System Center Virtual Machine Manager. Windows standards-based storage management services SMP: Third-party providers SMP: Storage spaces SMI-S hardware provider SMI-S hardware provider Proprietary transport and/or protocol Storage vendor hardware and software Storage array/RAID controller Storage array/RAID controller Storage array/RAID controller Industry standard storage
