Abstract

LSI has developed a plug-in to better integrate management of our Storage Array product line with VMware’s vCenter management suite. The plug-in is a Rich Internet Client that integrates with vCenter. As part of its Raid Development effort, the team has utilized several open source toolkits, including: SBLIM, GWT and Java. This case study details the architecture that glues the toolkits together and what has worked and not worked.

Learning Objectives

Use of open source tools aid in Rapid Development
Use of Web Technologies for Rich User Experience
Architecting for aiding protocol independence and testability
