LINSTOR, the Linux Storage Manager, can be coupled with the native storage features inside Linux to provide flexible, highly available block storage to OpenStack environments. This Software-Defined storage is perfect for small to mid-sized clusters that require high performance and high availability.

LINSTOR clusters are easier to deploy than alternate storage methods because LINSTOR leverages tools that Linux users are already familiar with such as LVM, Raid, Targets and Initiators, and DRBD.
