It refers to a storage structure that separates storage software from storage hardware products.
In other words, it is a storage software designed to operate in a standardized environment by removing software dependencies on specific hardware or proprietary hardware.
1. Hardware selection is available
You can either recycle your company’s hardware rather than where you purchased the hardware or build a storage infrastructure using any commercial server. This means that you can use any type of hardware configuration you want.
2. Save your cost.
The configuration and structure of the storage can be configured in a user-defined manner, and thus the capacity and performance can be individually adjusted to reduce the cost for performance.
3. Combine multiple data sources to build a storage infrastructure.
You can network your object platforms, external disk systems, disk or flash resources, virtual servers, and cloud-based resources (even workload-only data) to create unified storage volumes.
4. There is no restriction on configuration.
Traditional storage area networks have limited the amount of nodes (devices using assigned ID addresses) that can be used. Software Defined Storage is unlimited and theoretically scales to infinity.
5. The capacity of the storage can be automatically adjusted according to your requirements
It does not depend on hardware and can be automatically imported from an attached storage volume through automation. Tailor your storage system to your data needs and performance without administrator intervention, new connections, or new hardware.
