Are you forced to rip and replace most of your storage infrastructure every few years?

Towards a software-defined approach to data storage

February 16, 2016 2:00 pm GMT

Managing data storage for performance, integrity and scalability is the next challenge in IT management and planning. The volume of data is exploding, and storing it is no longer straightforward. Most organisations’ storage landscape is complex, with storage environments both on-premise and in the cloud; what is more, these environments often come from multiple different vendors, meaning communication between them is challenging, and the threat of creating siloes or getting locked-in to proprietary systems is an issue.

Throwing more costly hardware at the problem isn’t solving it. Rip-and-replace isn’t an option. What is needed is a software layer that simplifies management and enables you to build a long-term storage platform that is hardware-independent. Welcome to software-defined storage.
