2018 Storage Trends and Predictions From Primary Data
Software solves storage complexity
Few IT professionals admit to a love of buzzwords, and one of the biggest offenders in the last few years is the term, software-defined storage (SDS). With marketers borrowing from the successes of software-defined-networking, the use of SDS attempts all kinds of claims. Yet the term does little to help most of us to understand what a specific SDS product can do. Despite the well-earned dislike of the phrase, true SD solutions will continue to gain traction because they try to bridge the gap between legacy infrastructure and modern storage needs. In fact, even as hardware sales declines, IDC forecasts that the SDS market will grow at a rate of 13.5% from 2017 – 2021, growing to a $16.2 billion market by the end of the forecast period.

There are pros and cons with each, but when it comes to BC it can be a risky strategy to choose a single vendor to manage both the production IT environment and the DR service.
