User View
- flexibility
- rapid deployment
- costs
- high availability
Producer View

What Defindes A Unified Storage
- high availability
- freedrom of used protocol
- storage efficiency
- centraliced management
- process integration
- scalable
High Availablility
- data mirroring
- block based
- file based
- syncron
- asyncron
- cluster failover
- automatated
- ...
Freedom Of Protocol
- NAS protocol
- CIFS/SMB
- NFS
- AFP
- SAN protocol
- iSCSI
- Fibrechannel
- FCoE
- Infiniband
storage efficiency
- deduplication
- compression
- over commitment
- thin provisioning
- snapshotting
Centraliced Management
- administration
- web frontend
- command line tool
- api
- openATTIC is a master/slave system
- minitoring (by using nagios, check itcockpit)
- availability
- ressources
- performance
Process Integration
- automated backup process
- intelligent backups by SnapApps (for consistent snapshots)
- to backup a database in good health (consistent) state
- automated server deployment
- request by user, helpdesk or api
- ...
- deployment
- feedback
- Snapshotting
- check snapshot
- backup healthy snapshot
Scalable
- disc scaling
- more controllers
- more shelfs
- more discs
- node scaling
- openATTIC Hosts
- other hosts
Costs
- benefits by freedom of choice for server choosing
- software and license cost
- running environment since a lot of tools are community driven
Why Open Source
- vendor lock
- security
- flexibility
- cost (...)
- innovation
OpenATTIC
- community edition
- supported by community

Basic Framework (Down To Up Layer)
- service and tools and vendor plugins
- backend
- core (deamon, python django based))
- frontend (XML RPC API, extJS)
- interfaces
Next Steps
- fibrechannel, fcoe
- more interfaces to vendors
- more snap apps
- content adressable storage (cas, hadoop)
- glusterFS
- object storeage planned in the far future
