ScaleIO was a software-defined block storage startup (an early Norwest Venture Partners investment) that was acquired by EMC in 2013 and folded into Dell EMC as ScaleIO, later renamed VxFlex OS and then PowerFlex. It is no longer an independent company: the scaleio.com domain is Dell-managed and 301-redirects to the Dell EMC software-defined storage product page, and there is no independent developer portal, API, or SDK surface under this brand. Any current API surface lives under Dell PowerFlex, not scaleio.com.
Scaleio is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Storage, Software-Defined Storage, Block Storage, and Dell EMC.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/scaleio: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
