 | Lots of storage vendors are claiming to provide software defined storage. But buyer beware! This paper looks at what you should be considering. The term “software-defined” is being applied selectively to individual storage hardware platforms and being proprietary, only after you buy their feature set does it emerge that it cannot work across other components and other vendor’s storage systems. Clever sales pitches may sound like “software-defined” but the end objective is clear: “buy more hardware”. This paper provides guidance of what to look out for and why.

These contrasting goals have created a utilization problem with today’s IT infrastructures. While flash storage is the answer from a performance perspective, it must be engineered and implemented correctly. One way to do this is by taking what was traditionally a consumer technology and transforming it into an enterprise solution. Fusion‐io delivers enterprise‐class flash memory technology, and has designed it into the first affordably priced shared storage system. While traditional vendors struggle to optimize flash performance, Fusion‐io has developed a solution that avoids bottlenecks and provides new performance management capabilities required to maximize the utilization of flash.

Applications leveraging NAS vary from virtual server and virtual desktop implementations to digital imaging, computer generated animation rendering, energy exploration, and financial modeling - not to mention the billions of users around the globe who continually create and consume unstructured data such as video, audio, and text files. In addition, because NAS devices are easy to set up and manage and don’t require esoteric storage knowledge, it is simple to add new devices for capacity or performance. Before you know it, your NAS infrastructure can become a costly and inefficient nightmare of multiple file systems across too many devices.
