What is Software defined Storage?
Key attributes of SDS Runs on commodity hardware: no special hardware or components needed
Offers a full suite of storage services: equivalent to traditional hardware systems
Federates multiple persistent storage resources: internal disk, cloud, other external storage systems or cloud/object platforms
Leverages:
– Shared nothing architecture (or in some cases a partial or fully shared architecture) and
– Scale-up or scale-out model
Broadly grouped into three buckets: File-based, Object-based and Block-based
Software-defined storage is any storage software stack that can be installed on any commodity (x86 hardware, hypervisors, or cloud) and/or off-the-shelf computing
hardware and used to offer a full suite of storage services and federation between the underlying persistent data placement resources to enable data mobility of its tenants
between these resources

Three Ways to Get there from here
Stay with Specialized Hardware on the back-end (Data Plane)
• Provide Data Services (Control Plane) tied to
specialized hardware
Commoditize the back-end (Data Plane)
• Decouple the Data Services (Control Plane) from
specialized hardware; run on commodity servers
Commoditize the the back-end (Data Plane) AND provide Specialized
hardware solutions
• Best of both suited to the
task
• Provides transition path to
commodity back-end

Software Defined Storage – How can we do this?
Most Storage arrays are:
Built on Linux, Unix or Windows Kernels - potentially offering
a common code base
Most Run on Intel x86 – offering a common hardware
architecture.
Are based on Server technology at the core – While
delivering advanced data services, most storage products
are essentially based on 2 or more servers under the covers.
• What are the components of a server?
• CPU and associated architecture
• Memory
• Disk Bays (SSD, Hard Drives)
• PCI BUS- I/O
HBAs – Fibre Channel, NICs, SAS
Other PCIe cards as needed
Support for
Common off-the
Shelf (COTS)
Servers
12 © 2014 IBM Corporation
IBM’s Software Defined Storage – How can we do this?
OK, so storage services are essentially delivered from a
server platform. How does one certify all the possible
server platforms out there??
Virtualization\Hypervisor – if the server platform is VMware
ESX or Linux KVM certified it can be certified for use.
• No hardware compatibility lists or expensive testing labs
• Virtualization vendors have done the interop work already
Test the components in the server – software deployed atop
a virtual machine should perform basic component checks
• Does it have the required interfaces? NICs, HBAs
• Does it have the min amount of memory, drives, CPU cores, etc
• Is it highly available? i.e. redundancy in components and paths
Caution – UPS, Flushing of cache to non-volatile devices
• Customer responsible for UPS, consistent power
If it passes the
tests, it could run
the data services

IBM Spectrum Archive - long term cost effective storage of inactive data, especially of larger file
types
Infrastructure Optimization and Data Storage Services
IBM Spectrum Virtualize - virtualizing data resources and gaining storage efficiencies
IBM Spectrum Accelerate - enterprise class scalable storage cloud environments deployed in hours
vs. days or weeks
IBM Spectrum Scale - high performance , highly scalable unstructured data platform for file,
object, big data, and analytics

“…what we find is an excellent
example of an integrated storage
management environment that can
centrally manage a heterogeneous
storage environment, that can
automate a wide variety of storage
management tasks (including
virtualization and provisioning),
and that enables storage to easily
be integrated into a cloud
computing environment.”
