Software Defined Storage uses Storage Virtualisation techniques to separate the presentation of data from the underlying way in which it is stored.
This allows storage hardware to be easily replaced or reconfigured without impacting critical workloads. It also enables data services, such as thin provisioning and auto-tiering that span a heterogeneous storage environment.
DataCore Software pioneered Software Defined Storage and developed SANsymphony for SAN and Hyperconverged Environments.
