A transition is underway from standard data center infrastructures to cloud-enabled, software-defined ones that permit resources to be scaled in response to evolving business needs. By enabling a modular approach that abstracts software from hardware while adding management and automation capabilities, Software Defined Storage (SDS) brings the benefits of virtualization to storage infrastructure. These include flexibility, cost-savings and performance due to features including provisioning, replication, deduplication and compression being removed from the physical storage where they increase latency and take up processing resources. Software Defined Storage solutions come in a software-only and bundled form with pre-selected hardware. While both options have individual benefits depending on use-case and application, storage controllers are key to unlocking the full potential of SDS.
