Open vStorage is an open-source, scale-out, reliable, high performance, software based storage platform which offers a block & file interface on top of ethernet drives (Seagate Kinetic), object storage or a pool of traditional SATA drives.
The Open vStorage Framework takes care of the communication between the different hosts in the Open vStorage cluster and the storage backends. The Framework allows to manage Open vStorage through an intuitive GUI and a complete REST API. It integrates with OpenStack (Cinder) and VMware vSphere.
The Open vStorage Framework is licensed under the Modified Apache License.
The Open vStorage Framework is built using python (Django, Celery) and javascript.

Open vStorage is quality checked to the highest level. Unfortunately we might have overlooked some tiny topics here or there. The Open vStorage Project maintains a public issue tracker where you can report bugs and request features. This issue tracker is not a customer support forum but an error, flaw, failure, or fault in the Open vStorage software.
