Assembling the building blocks to construct your cloud

Integration across the infrastructure stack is essential to achieve the true promises of cloud computing.

SolidFire's partnership strategy is focused on aligning with selected vendors, technologies and communities that are critical enabling components of our customers' cloud infrastructure strategy.

Our REST-based APIs are the center-point of these integration efforts. This robust tool-set drastically simplifies the effort required to achieve differentiated levels of storage automation, insight and control from within 3rd party, open source or homegrown management frameworks.
