Software Defined Storage Technology

The objective of the tutorial is to discuss the emerging concept of Software Defined Storage (SDS) with practical example. The overall objective of the tutorial: Participants can view a complete picture of storage - the traditional storage, storage in the cloud and the emerging Software Defined Storage. Providers of storage hardware and software solutions can understand the software defined storage architecture which will help in designing and providing SDS based more cost effective systems. Researchers can understand key concepts and challenges of software defined storage and contribute in evolving this technology further. Educators can understand the emerging view of storage in the cloud. Providers of cloud storage services will become aware of the emerging storage technology of the future for the data centres, which is more cost effective alternative to traditional storage systems.
