Challenges of Storage Architectures
Heterogeneous storage management is non-existent Planned downtime is impossible Vendor lock-in cripples innovation
Applications are becoming more demandingServer/desktop virtualization creates bottlenecks
Low utilization of storage Hardware maintenance and refresh cycles are a pain

3 Pool all storage capacity and provide centralized management
In theory, software should be able to do a few things…
1 Enable different storage devices to communicate with one another
Why Software-defined Storage?
Make hardware maintenance, data migrations, and hardware refreshes easy4
Separate advances in software from advances in hardware2
