Software-defined storage (SDS) is a storage framework that isolates hardware from storage software. Unlike traditional network-attached storage or storage area network systems, SDS is designed to respond to the complex process of digital transformation.
SDS gives you the flexibility, cost-effectiveness and agility you need to enable your data-driven, multicloud enterprise. It can perform on any industry-standard system, removing the dependence on proprietary hardware.
