Software-Defined Storage - SDS Solutions for Enterprises

What is Software-Defined Storage?

Software-Defined Storage is a system in which all storage is centrally managed by specialized software.

One of the most important features of an SDS solution for enterprises is the fact that Software-Defined Storage makes the hardware and software of the storage independent of each other. SDS can be used to manage any type of storage, regardless of which vendor the storage hardware comes from.

Software-Defined Storage and its Advantages

Below are some of the most important advantages of SDS systems:

• SDS for the separation of hardware & software
  Software-Defined Storage offers companies the advantage of managing storage with software that works independently of the hardware. This allows SDS to be used flexibly — in a cloud environment, on servers, or as part of a hypervisor.
• Storage pooling for efficient data access
  An SDS solution allows you to store frequently used files or critical applications on fast data storage devices (Flash/NVMe) so that they can be made available almost instantly when required.
• Storage tiering
  An SDS solution allows you to store frequently used files or critical applications on fast data storage devices (Flash/NVMe) so that they can be made available almost instantly when required.
• Easy integration into existing systems
  In many cases, SDS structures can be integrated into existing IT infrastructures with minimal effort. This allows an existing storage setup to benefit from increased capacity and accelerated processes.
• Scalability of the SDS solution as required (scale-out)
  Companies in a wide range of industries might have very different demands on their storage capacities. These can also change significantly over time. SDS solutions can be easily adapted and expanded in line with your differing requirements. This allows your storage to grow alongside your company.
