Software-defined storage
Software-defined storage (SDS) provides the flexible storage foundation you need for hybrid cloud, digital transformation and more
Invest in Data. Save on Storage.
Whatever the size of your organization, your data deserves the best enterprise storage at a competitive price.
Overview
Traditional storage can’t respond to the complex process of digital transformation – where familiar on-premises environments give way to new hybrid cloud deployments — as quickly as you need and within the budget you can afford. That’s where software-defined storage comes in.
