Dynamic provisioning of a virtual storage appliance

摘要

Systems, methods, and apparatus for facilitating dynamic provisioning of a virtual storage appliance in a cloud computing environment are presented herein. A storage system management component can provision storage from a storage medium to facilitate access of at least a portion of the storage by a virtual storage appliance (VSA) based on a request for at least one resource associated with the VSA. Further, a network management component can provision the VSA to facilitate the access of the portion of the storage by the VSA. Furthermore, a storage fabric management component can configure a network to facilitate the access of the portion of the storage by the VSA via the network.

1. A system, comprising:
at least one memory storing computer-executable instructions; and at least one processor, communicatively coupled to the at least one memory, which facilitates execution of the computer-executable instructions to at least:
receive, via a device of a cloud based communication network, a request comprising information representing requirements for a virtual storage appliance (VSA); andin response to a storage system and a storage pool being determined, based on the requirements, to be available to provision from, provision the VSA and storage from the storage pool to facilitate, via the storage system, an access of the storage by the VSA.
