Storage Provider for VMware vCenter

Storage Provider for VMware vCenter is a VMware vStorage API for Storage Awareness, (VASA) Adapter that provides a standalone web service for VMware vCenter 5.1. This plug-in provides visibility from VMware vCenter into the Storage Array, and it enables VMware vCenter to be aware of physical storage resources and information based on topology, capability and component state. This information can be used by vCenter Administrators to make more aware decisions or to create more effective policies toward Storage DRS and Profile Based Storage. Storage Manager for VMware vCenter is required to configure Storage Provider for VMware vCenter.

About vSphere API for Storage Awareness APIs Providers (VASA)
