About Software Defined Storage (SDS)
Software-defined storage (SDS) is a central part of the software-defined data center (SDDC), which is an emerging information technology (IT). It has been designed for organizations to store business data and to enable the speedy delivery of IT services. In an SDS framework, storage services are delivered as a software layer that can be abstracted from the underlying hardware. SDS solutions eliminate the need for manual configuration of the operational process in the SDDC; these solutions accomplish the objective by according control to the software through the separation of the underlying hardware.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global software defined storage (SDS) market to grow at a CAGR of 31.62% during the period 2016-2020.
