Software Defined Storage

Storage Built for the Virtualized Data Center

Kelly Murphy Founder / CTO Gridstore

Overview Context - The Software-Defined Data Center What problem is SDS trying to solve SDS is a new architecture for storage How Gridstore Delivers SDS Today

Compute Network Storage

Virtualization –

Increased availability, flexibility and utilization.

Logical networks –

Defined in minutes and bound to workloads.

Built for virtualization.

Reduce cost and complexity – increase performance and scaling.

Management & Orchestration

Software Defined Data Center

Virtualization Changes Everything and Nothing

New Container - VM

Virtualized Resource Pool

Nothing above or below the hypervisor knows anything changed

“Virtualization Breaks Traditional Storage”,

Top Virtualization Issues#1 – Application performance (57%)#2 – Capital cost of storage (38%)#3 – Storage complexity (36%)

Problem: You can not optimize many-to-one

Complexity

Manage LUNs not VMs. Bloated data services.

Costs Explode

Overprovision servers, storage, data services.

Poor Performance

Unpredictable. No visibility. No Resolution.many-to-one
