An integrated storage/SAN monitoring and control system includes a storage device, a switch device associated with an API, and a management system. The switch device receives storage device information from the storage device via an API call using the API, and transmits the storage device information and switch device information to the management system via an API call using the API. The management system receives the storage device information and the switch device information from the switch device, determines storage device control instruction(s) and switch device control instruction(s) using the storage device information and the switch device information, and transmits the storage device control instruction(s) and switch device control instruction(s) to the switch device via an API call using the API. The switch device then executes the switch device instruction and transmits the storage device instruction to the storage device for execution via an API call using the API.
