10 Key Success Factors for Software-Defined Storage with Modern Data Services Platforms
Data sprawl and the growth of unstructured data are straining legacy storage
solutions and driving unsustainable cost increases in storage management.
Traditional storage systems are generally complex to set up and operate,
require specialized skills, and create additional infrastructure silos. Customers
must buy a number of third-party software and hardware products to store
and protect data against ransomware attacks. Traditional storage solutions
tend to be rigid, with fixed performance and capped capacities. They are
costly to upgrade and difficult to protect. In addition, procuring traditional
storage requires upfront capacity planning and financial budgeting.
Over time, these traditional storage systems create storage siloes that are
hard to manage, do not scale well, and are difficult to protect against cyber
threats. The problem becomes more severe as more and more application
owners and project managers demand self-service storage provisioning.
Software-defined storage (SDS) offers a way forward with a data services
platform. It offers a flexible, simple to use, easy to scale, globally distributed
storage that legacy storage simply cannot meet.
