SDS block storage solution providers have made significant strides to mitigate the risk and perceived stigma associated with deploying SDS solutions into enterprise environments. These strides have given organizations the assurances they need to move forward with deploying SDS in business- and mission- critical IT environments.
SDS block storage’s features contribute to its accelerated growth and adoption. For instance, depending on the SDS block storage solution, enterprises obtain new flexibility to virtualize multiple types of storage. Storage choices may range from storage arrays to disk drives available in x86 server hardware to cloud block storage.
SDS block storage solutions also help simplify the tasks associated with managing environments with block storage networking protocols. This simplification can range from migrating data between systems to centralizing the volume management of the virtualized storage. SDS may also alleviate complex zoning, LUN masking, and other storage networking tasks commonly associated with managing block storage environments.
