Early this year we compared the work involved in building a storage infrastructure around OpenStack Swift versus using SwiftStack. While the names OpenStack Swift and SwiftStack are similar, the process of getting to the point where you can write data…
Software Defined Storage (SDS) brings great promise to the data center. It can increase flexibility, simplify management and decrease costs. But SDS can do so much more and in this podcast I’ve asked our founder George Crump and the VP…
Is Software Defined Storage (SDS) getting hijacked? It seems every vendor, old and new, is claiming that their storage is “software defined”. In our on demand webinar listen as experts from Storage Switzerland and Nexenta provide guidance to sorting out…
Software Defined Storage (SDS) provides the ability for multiple storage hardware elements to be managed through software, enabling a data center to have a common interface to pool, provision and protect storage assets across vendor platforms. This basic abstraction is a…
Software Defined Storage (SDS) has fundamentally changed the data center and holds great promise as organizations try to meet the performance demands of applications and users while driving down storage management costs. But the current generation of SDS needs to…
The first generation of Software Defined Storage (SDS 1.0) was an important step forward for storage management, as it opened up choice within the data center while bringing some semblance of centralized management. SDS 2.0 takes the next step by…
Software Defined Storage (SDS) has fundamentally changed the way storage hardware is purchased by abstracting storage services from the physical hardware. But to reach its full potential SDS needs to go back to school. Watch this on demand webinar with…
There are a number of ways to implement SDS, including as a software-only solution. This method allows the user to provide the hardware, even re-purposing existing equipment in some cases. There are a number of user benefits to leveraging SDS…
SDS promises to deliver a number of benefits to end users, including flexibility, management simplicity and cost savings. Storage vendors can also leverage SDS technologies, but many do it for their own benefits. In this Storage Short, Storage Switzerland Founder,…
A recent webinar poll of the audience showed that over half were concerned that SDS wasn’t really ‘ready for prime time’. In this storage short, George Crump and Thomas Cornley from Nexenta discuss what makes SDS solutions appropriate for mission-critical,…
