Software defined storage is defined as set of software components that seek to virtualize and federate physical storage capacity from multiple locations/technologies. Software defined storage offers a full suite of storage services such as de-duplication, replication, thin provisioning, snapshots and backup. The crucial benefits of software-defined storage over traditional storage are increased flexibility, automated management and cost efficiency. In terms of competition, established blue chip vendors compete with freshly minted startups in the SDS sector. Some of the examples of Software defined storage are HP's StoreVirtual, IBM's SCV, VMware's vSphere Storage Appliance, NetApp's Data ONTAP and Maxta Storage Platform (MxSP).

In this report, SDS solutions cover the perspective of a wide range of applications across verticals. SDS plays an important role in managing disk and servers dynamically. The highest adoption rate of SDS is in financial services, healthcare, and manufacturing. These verticals are covering almost XX% of overall SDS market. The broad level of this report is to segment this market in the best possible manner, covering the market comprehensively, to provide the closest approximation of the revenue number for the different subsegments, and to allow the readers to have a clear understanding of the market.

The market study covers SDS, by vertical, including financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, government,telecom and IT, defense and aerospace, other verticals (education and research)

  • The market study covers SDS, by organization size, such as small businesses, medium businesses, enterprises, and large enterprises
  • The market study covers SDS, by component, such as hypervisors, storage virtualization software, control plane, and data services
  • The market has also been covered by region, such as North America (NA), Europe, Latin America (LA), and Middle East and Africa (MEA)

SDS solution is being widely accepted and leading vendors are showing interest through mergers and acquisitions. SDS basic segments include hypervisors, storage virtualizing software, control planes, and data services Emerging vendors, such as EMC, IBM, Nexenta, HP, VMware, Microsoft, and Hitachi Data System, are providing SDS solutions based on public and private cloud. Thus, companies not require any storage hardware because SDS provides virtualized storage.. The scope of this research report includes market estimation by vertical, region, component, and organization size.
