software defined storage

Software Defined Storage Consultancy

Composed of proprietary pieces of hardware like cache memory and disks (at least at the firmware piece).
Based on a couple of controllers for high availability. They needs to be over-sized to avoid performance impact.
Connected thru complex protocols like Fiber Channel (FCP), NFS, CIFS or iSCSI
Based on RAID-0 to RAID-6 depending on latency, type of disks or savings.
Complex to scale out, monitor and manage, maintain, replace, migrate, troubleshoot or fix getting for spare parts quickly.
Expensive

Composed by commodity pieces of hardware that can be acquired thru any compute vendor.
Distributed in performance, more resilient. Any failure has imperceptible effect on performance.
Connected thru protocols that lever orchestration tools.
Simple to scale out, monitor and manage, maintain, replace, migrate, troubleshoot or fix getting for spare parts quickly.
10x less expensive.
