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.
This repo is your starting point to experiment with Open vStorage.
The Open vStorage Framework is built using python (Django, Celery) and javascript.
