1. Can Hitachi Data Center Analytics be used in OpenStack environments?
Yes, it can. All the metrics are gathered directly from the devices using their respective APIs and are kept in a very optimized and compressed way in the HDCA database. The database can be queried using HDCA specific SQL language and used for OpenStack management and provisioning. For example, the query could be executed as part of a Heat template.
