Software-Defined Storage (SDS)
Software-defined, server-based storage brings your data center closer to being able to handle data on a massive scale with the efficiency of large cloud providers. It addresses one of the greatest IT challenges for implementing storage innovation: Cost.
Using relatively inexpensive, open-standard Intel® architecture, data centers can take advantage of multiple storage resources. This includes SSDs with NVMe*, external disk systems, object platforms, and cloud-based resources that can be combined to build a powerful storage infrastructure and deliver workload-optimized performance.
Gain the ability to pool resources and better allocate them across your storage infrastructure. Existing investments can be maximized and costs reduced through greater total-cost-of-ownership efficiencies with Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 v4 processors, Intel® Ethernet Adapters XL710, and Intel® SSDs (for all NVMe* or NVMe* cache and SATA).
