Abstract
This application relates to apparatus and methods for communication with and management of datacenters, such as cloud datacenters employing multiple servers. A control server may identify a plurality of datacenters from which to request block storage status. The control server may identify a user request to execute multiple requests to obtain the block storage status from the plurality of datacenters. Based on the user request, the control server may generate the plurality of requests. The control server may transmit the plurality of requests to the plurality of datacenters. The control server may determine if a response to the requests is received. The response may include block storage status data identifying whether a service managing storage blocks for the datacenter is operational. The control server may also provide the block storage status for display.
