Decoupling

SDS decouples storage resources from the underlying physical hardware, allowing for more flexible management.

Scalability

It enables easy scaling of storage resources without being tied to specific hardware.

Automation

Simplifies management through automation, reducing operational costs.

Standardization

Uses industry-standard hardware, avoiding vendor lock-in.

Benefits

1

Cost Efficiency

Reduces costs by using commodity hardware and simplifying management.

2

Flexibility

Provides the ability to choose hardware and software independently.

3

Performance

Enhances performance by optimizing resource allocation.

4

Simplified Management

Easier to manage and maintain due to centralized control.
