Software-Defined Storage
Speed delivery of IT services
Software-defined storage (SDS) does for storage what virtualization did for servers – breaking down the physical barriers that bind data to specific hardware. With NetApp clustered Data ONTAP Storage Virtual Machines:
- IT infrastructure teams become more responsive
- Application owners become more autonomous
- Business decision makers become more flexible
NetApp delivers SDS with clustered Data ONTAP software; the industry's most comprehensive application integration; and programmable APIs for seamless workflow automation. SDS capabilities are woven into NetApp's products, not added later as a separate management layer. SDS is enabled through:
- Application self-service for fast user access to storage services, applications, and workflows
- Fully virtualized storage servers for dynamic resource provisioning based on service levels
- Deployment across a wide range of multi-vendor hardware and cloud service providers for platform flexibility
