Software-Defined Storage: Happy Networking Solution
Presently
all legacy sellers try to sell Software-Defined
Storage
to potential customers. But as there is eventual growth in every
business, these software solutions demand only personal hardware.
Most
of the software storage admins today cannot properly define the true
nature of Software-defined storage. In general, SdS
(Software Defined Storage)
can be defined as an elastic, adjustable and compatible form of
Software Storage with almost all hardware’s.
The Role of
Software-defined Storage
The main purpose of SdS
is to extract storage from all hardware’s, consequently making the
storage a mutual and freely interchangeable resource. This makes the
job of Computing, Networking and Storage very flexible and easily
accessible.
Large
organizations and IT staff can control the free flow of data in the
network with the help of Software-defined
Storage.
They can manage how data is organized and presented in the network
with the help of Software-defined Storage. This enables a much wider
perspective for cloud-computing services at very affordable and
reasonable rates.
Thus, Software-defined
storage actually helps in making the entire networking of data very
cost-effective. There is no need of expensive hardware to manage data
in organizations due to SDS.
There are some
imposters in the market who pretend to offer Software-defined
Storage. How can we tell the difference from the same?
- Storage software that works with only a particular hardware can never be true SDS.
- Just because the software is being sold by a legacy vendor does not necessarily verify the authenticity of the software.
- Something that only works as a stimulated storage application is not a Software-defined Storage.
- Anything that breaks the fundamental ground rules of storage capabilities is definitely not SDS.
Advantages of
Software-defined Storage:
Even though
cost-effectiveness of the entire system breaks the ice, there are
many other important and significant advantages of using
Software-defined Storage. In its best forms, SDS will provide the
following features:
- Openness: Integrally branded and locked systems do not provide the flexibility of open Software-defined Storage systems.
- Pervasiveness: SDS is widely available and compatible with all major protocols.
- Data Extraction: SDS helps in segregating data from data control layers.
- Disintegrating Compute, Networking and Storage: SDS must be able to protect, replicate and clone data for various uses. An out-and-out Stimulated Storage Application can block file storage. SSA or Virtual Storage Application can also hide the detail of local or remote storage in Virtual machines, thus enabling a higher level of virtualization.
Thus
as storage needs to grow, you should think
of the route you want to take.
Either have your entire system pressurized by fake software storage
apps on a biased legacy vendor or have it free from all routines by
using Software-defined
Storage
that lets you cut costs and gives a free flow of data in the network.
SDS makes data easily accessible, flexible and manageable.
