Online Seminar to Focus on Four Key Components and Best Practices that Deliver a Comprehensive OpenSDS Solution
Santa Clara, Calif.—April 29, 2015—Nexenta (@Nexenta), the global leader in Open Source-driven Software-Defined Storage (OpenSDS), today announced that it will be hosting a complimentary webinar, “Cleaning Up the SDS Mess – Four Keys to Success,” in partnership with Storage Switzerland.
At its most basic, Software-Defined Storage (SDS) is defined as the abstraction of storage services from the physical storage hardware, allowing a single software storage services stack to run on a variety of platforms and manage a variety of storage hardware.
This webinar will highlight the original intent of the pioneers of SDS solutions – to create software only solutions that could be deployed on servers of a customer’s choosing. Executives from Nexenta and Storage Switzerland will outline the four key elements that must be present for a solution to be deemed one that offers true SDS.
During the webinar, attendees will also learn what pitfalls exist in pinpointing a true SDS solution – now that the original intent has evolved and hardware vendors are also providing what they claim to be SDS solutions. Attendees will hear about some of the latest trends such as how SDS is being combined with an embedded compute function to create hyper-converged solutions. Finally, attendees will walk away with a clear understanding of different SDS approaches so they can decide what makes the most sense for their organization.
