Abstract
A typical data center environment has multi-vendor, heterogeneous and all types of storage systems (bock-based, file-based, object-based). Software-defined storage (SDS) is a storage infrastructure used to maintain and manage the data center by abstracting the physical storage systems. CoprHD is an open-source SDS product from DELL-EMC, designed and developed primarily to create and manage virtual data centers. CoprHD is used extensively by enterprises and storage service providers to manage their data centers and provision the storage for their customers respectively. Primary aim of this project is to bypass the virtual layer of storage abstraction to gain direct access to the physical storage pools which is desirable in certain scenarios.
