Product Description

EMC Elastic Cloud Storage (ECS) provides a complete software-defined cloud storage platform that supports the storage, manipulation, and analysis of unstructured data on a massive scale on commodity hardware.

Management users can access the ECS UI, which is referred to as the ECS Portal, to perform administration tasks. Management users include the System Administrator, Namespace Administrator, and System Monitor roles. Management tasks that can be performed in the ECS Portal can also be performed by using the ECS Management REST API.

    Per EMC documentation, provisioning of additional CLI users on ECS is not permitted so the default 'admin' SSH account should be used for discovery.
