Continuous software development within the Cinder project of OpenStack to allow the HP 3PAR and LeftHand drivers to support crucial features such as:* Consistency Groups – allowing operations to be administered at the group level instead of just the default volume level, which makes room for deploying different components of an integrated system over multiple different volumes, all while being guaranteed consistency and data protection.* Volume Replication – implement the ability to automatically and constantly replicate data in a volume located on one storage array to multiple other storage arrays, providing a safety mechanism in the event of the primary array becoming unreachable.* Volume Failover – providing a method to seamlessly transition to a replicated secondary target in the case of a disaster in order to minimize down time and the inaccessibility of data.Client side development to allow OpenStack drivers to communicate with the HP 3PAR and StoreVirtual hardware as well as improve HTTPS/SSL security.
