The State of Software-Defined Storage (SDS) in 2014
For the fourth consecutive year, DataCore Software conducted a survey of global IT professionals to identify current storage challenges that organizations are facing and what forces are driving demand for software-defined storage. This year’s State of Software-Defined Storage report shows that these institutions look for SDS to both simplify management of their diverse storage devices and enable them to future proof their infrastructure. The move to SDS is very appealing considering that almost half of respondents identified the difficulty of migrating between different models and generations of storage devices as preventing them from using other manufacturers or models of storage devices that could well reduce their costs.
The survey was conducted in March 2014, for full results of the survey please download it.
