Common, off-the-shelf hardware

Lower cost, standardized supply chain

Scale-out architectureIncreased operational flexibility

Software-based intelligenceMore programmability, agility, and control

Open development processMore flexible, well-integrated technology

Open Software-Defined Storage is a fundamental reimagining of how storage infrastructure works.

It provides substantial economic and operational advantages, and it has quickly become ideally suited for a growing number of use cases.

POSSIBLE FUTURE USE CASES

FUTURE PORTFOLIO: STEP 1

Common Storage Controller

A common management system will be included with both products

Consistent manageability across the entire portfolio

Increased partner and community alignment

Products differentiate on use case

Increased marketing focus on the portfolio, less on each individual product

One product: a controller that knows how to deploy a variety of data services

Future data services can be included when upstream technology matures

Unified orchestration, good potential for HSM
