The graphical user interface is ideal for managing one-off events and other exceptions. Typical one-off operations are disk evacuation (to allow for a disk upgrade, server upgrade, or OS maintenance) and disk or server expansion (to provide more capacity). Some one-off events, such as increased file replication to anticipate upcoming read load, are best handled by modifying the rules that direct the policy engine.
The ParaScale cloud storage software provides both a command-line interface and a browser-based graphical user interfaceboth leveraging one underlying command infrastructure. The command-line interface is ideal for automating tasks through scripting and for integrating the ParaScale storage cloud administration with other tools.
The ParaScale Cloud Storage solution was designed for efficient management to reduce operating expenses. A part-time administrator can manage a large ParaScale storage cloud because on-going tasks (e.g., data replication and migration) are automated. The administrator sets policies and data movement is managed by the rules-based policy engine on the control node.
