A graphical administration tool for managing cloud storage system

摘要

In recent years, the amount of data produced by mobile devices and the Internet has increased rapidly. To facilitate the storage of such a large amount of data, open-source-based cloud storage services have also increased. However, most of administration tools which are specialized in managing open-source-based storage services have shortcomings such as lack of sufficient features and difficulty in operation. In this paper, we designed and implemented a GUI(Graphic User Interface) tool for managing OpenStack Swift, an open-source cloud storage services, to resolve these shortcomings. In addition, this tool incorporates a feature for the power management of computersodes within a cloud storage cluster to improve energy efficiency.
