Abstract
An information processing system comprises one or more processing platforms and implements a centralized storage provisioning and management system and a plurality of service provider storage systems coupled to the centralized storage provisioning and management system. The centralized storage provisioning and management system is configured to control provisioning and management of the service provider storage systems utilizing information collected from the service provider storage systems. The service provider storage systems may comprise respective service provider data centers, and the centralized storage provisioning and management system may comprise an additional data center separate from the service provider data centers. The centralized storage provisioning and management system may comprise a centralized control path implemented apart from the service provider storage systems. The centralized control path is configured to interact with a plurality of localized control paths implemented in respective ones of the service provider storage systems.
