SDS framework delivers scalable, cost effective solutions to meet the need of current and future data storage requirements. The following are the supporting features provided by the SDS to support the SDI Orchestrate: Application access to diverse storage systems through SLAs, increasing flexibility and handling data complexity. Provision: Resources dynamically (pay-as-you grow), increasing efficiency. Aggregate: Diverse equipment, leverage legacy, increase flexibility, and drive down costs. Abstract: Software from hardware, providing flexibility and scalability. SDS Architecture SDS Reference Architecture SDI architecture made up of three main components, SDS is one of them (Kandiraju, 2014). SDS reference architecture exhibit similar features of Storage defined networking (SDN) i.e. splitting of storage function into two separate layers: Figure 6.
