Software Defined Storage Market Offering Flexibility In The Configuration And The Reduction In The Hardware Costs

Software Defined Storage (SDS) is an emerging concept in the field of semiconductors and holds itself to be a niche product in the data storage market. It has been marked that most of the storage vendors are constantly trying to find storage networking product that are software-based. The SDS is a step forward in the world of server virtualization and is usually defined as a mix of storage technologies that are been used by giants such as the EMC/VMware that enable the successful merging of software managed pools of storage. The SDS emphasizes more on the storage related services rather than the storage hardware as it is considered to be a part of the larger industry trend with a higher level function. Flexible management capabilities along with programming is the goal of SDS. The terminology of SDS carries a debate around three types of services offered by SDS. They are hypervisor-constrained SDS, Hypervisor-agnostic SDS and workload-agnostic SDS. All of these are products and services are lumped under an umbrella term storage hypervisor that are managed by a software with different capacities related to storage. As mentioned earlier, SDS has been prevalent since a decade now and NetApp was among the first to provide it. The most readily available SDS software in the market is ZFS software along with other commercialized companies such as Nexanta and others.

The IT industry is constantly focusing on the betterment of the software services and SDS is benefiting in separating the hardware from the software. The driving cause for this service is the flexibility in the configuration and the reduction in the hardware costs due to the proper substitution of hardware platforms. Moreover, there has been an exponential growth in the volume of data across enterprises due to the sudden rise in the software-defined concept. The restraints calling for this market are mainly the skilled workforce for the effective deployment of SDS infrastructure. Subsequently, the security and reliability has always been a concern in virtual cloud storage. The SDS adoption has benefitted the IT professionals as the vendors are delivering SDS on pretested hardware to support services for end users.
