Abstract
Techniques for improved storage in a multi-cloud computing environment are provided. For example, a system manager for a storage system comprises a client interface layer configured to provide one or more application programing interfaces for one or more clients accessing the storage system, and a client interface layer handler configured to manage the one or more application programing interfaces of the client interface layer. Further, the system manager comprises a unified storage resource interface layer configured to provide a set of application programming interfaces to enable access for the one or more clients to a storage resource layer operatively coupled to the unified storage resource interface layer. The storage resource layer comprising one or more public cloud platform-based storage resources and a blockchain manager that coordinates access to one or more enterprise-level storage resources and one or more individually-owned storage resources.
