Software-defined Storage: An Emerging Paradigm
Software-defined storage (SDS) is a flexible, scalable, and highly automated architecture suitable for dynamic workloads in a modern data center. In an SDS system, all intelligence is in the software layer. The hardware layer consists of building blocks of standard servers with flash and hard disk drives that are combined into a single pool of storage by the software layer. This pool of storage can be programmed in real time to provide enterprise-class data services for each workload with various levels of capacity, performance, availability, protection, and cost.
