Abstract

Software Defined Storage, to those of us who have been writing storage software for years, sounds like yet another marketing term. In effect, software defined storage changes the model for how our users do storage - they buy the hardware and storage architects write the software. This talk will give an overview of how that impacts storage architects and also discuss how open source software plays an important role in making SDS viable for both storage designers and storage consumers.
