Software-Defined Storage Features
- SDS can cluster commodity hardware to provide highly performant and tune-able SAN infrastructure.
- SDS allows for scale-out architecture, allowing your business’s information technology to grow, offering many benefits over proprietary scale-up vendor solutions.
- CPU, Memory, and capacity can be independently scaled to meet application demand, again without vendor lock in, to maximize cost, capacity, and performance.
- These clusters can be tuned to maximize $/TB, BTU/Watt, IOPS/Sec, etc., as well as the ability to scale to Petabyte/Exabyte and beyond capacity.
- With software defined storage, no central metadata server is necessary, meaning no single points of failure.
- This software works in tight integration with IaaS and PaaS platforms.
- Such storage clusters can offer Object, File, and Block storage independently to a wide range of application and infrastructure workloads, meaning pools of storage highly optimized for different purposes can be provisioned at will and scale with and on demand.
