Software-defined storage

Software-defined storage (SDS) is a technology that separates storage hardware from the software that manages it. This means that instead of being tied to specific devices, storage resources can be pooled and managed through software. SDS allows for greater flexibility, scalability, and efficiency, as it can integrate various storage types and optimize performance based on needs. It simplifies management and can reduce costs by utilizing existing hardware, making it easier for businesses to adapt to changing storage requirements without being locked into specific vendors or technologies.
