Abstract: Techniques for virtual machine shifting are described. An apparatus may comprise shifting component operative to shift a virtual machine (VM) between a hypervisor having one type of hypervisor platform and a destination hypervisor having an alternative type of hypervisor platform through use of a clone of the VM. The shifting is bi-directional between the host and the destination hypervisor. The apparatus may comprise a universal application programming interface (API) used for reconfiguring one or more network interfaces and one or more disks of the VM onto the destination hypervisor. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and device that monitors and controls a storage environment includes receiving object data corresponding to a storage environment, the object data comprising data corresponding to physical and logical storage entities. A storage object model which associates physical and logical storage entities in a database is generated. An administrator-level user authentication configured to provide an administrator with access to information in the generated object model which corresponds to both physical and logical storage entities is generated. A user authentication configured to provide a user with access to information in the generated object model that corresponds to logical storage entities assigned to the user is generated. A dashboard configured to receive authentication information from either of an administrator-level or the user and to display information in accordance with a received authentication is provided.

Abstract: Data identifying server storage devices and logical storage entities is received. A storage object model based on the received data is generated. A first user type is associated with the server storage devices and logical storage entities. A second user type is associated with the logical storage entities. A first user is allowed to access data associated with the sever storage devices and the logical storage entities in response to determining that the first user is identified as the first user type. A second user is allowed to access data associated with the logical storage entities and not allowed to access data associated with the server storage devices in response to determining that the second user is identified as the second user type.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing storage entities in a storage network are provided. Embodiments may provide a group of management devices to manage a plurality of storage entities in the storage network. In some instances, a storage entity hierarchy for the plurality of storage entities may be identified. At least one of a load or a health associated with a management device of the group of management devices may, in embodiments, be determined. In some embodiments, the plurality of storage entities may be managed in accordance with the identified storage entity hierarchy and based, at least in part, on the determined at least one of a load or a health.
