The Value of Automated Storage Tiering with Software Defined Storage

By Greg LaBrie |   Jan 05, 2017

Software defined storage (SDS) has the potential to revolutionize your business processes and drive extraordinary value. However, storage isn’t just measured by capacity. In our previous blog post, we laid out the example of thinking of your organization’s storage infrastructure like a virtual city: there are specific places designated for each type of data, from highly-utilized information to archives.

In addition, some of the terminology frequently used to describe various aspects of SDS can be confusing.
