Software-Defined Storage (SDS)

Software-Defined Storage (SDS) is a flexible approach to managing data storage that separates the storage software from the physical hardware. Instead of relying on specific storage devices, SDS uses software to control and allocate data across various hardware components, which can include commodity servers, drives, and other devices. This allows for easier scalability, better resource utilization, and simplified management, enabling organizations to tailor their storage solutions to their needs without being locked into proprietary hardware. In essence, SDS makes storage more adaptable, cost-effective, and manageable through software intelligence.
