Abstract: A technique provides cohesive and secure access to management services of a distributed storage architecture deployed on compute and storage nodes of a cluster. The management services are organized as a platform that encompasses a plurality of underlying individual services each having an applications programming interface (API) that are together securely accessible via an API gateway. The gateway is configured to support a “browsable” directory of the APIs that enables a client to identify various underlying services available within the cluster. In an embodiment, the underlying services “self-register” at the gateway to provide a single, unified location for the client to access the services. The API gateway includes a reverse-proxy server that is configured to provide a single point of entry for clients interacting with the individual services underlying the management services platform.

Abstract: A method for providing investor liquidity and portfolio growth includes (a) acquiring properties from investors through tax-preferred transactions, at least one of the properties being acquired from one of the investors in exchange for an interest in an investment entity; (b) disposing of at least one of the properties that falls outside of an investment profile; (c) enhancing the value of at least one of the properties by physical improvements; and (c) redeeming interests of investors by the investment entity.
