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).
