SOFTWARE DEFINED STORAGE can assist organizations in managing storage provisioning, utilization, and waste. Some organizations struggle with the differences between storage virtualization and software-defined storage as they have multiple storage types within their environment.

Storage virtualization essentially pools data together and presents it as centralized storage, wherein the storage can is available as a centralized storage solution.

Software-defined storage leverages software, policy, and process to provision storage. Different than storage virtualization, software-defined storage can become very flexible within the environment to meet particular business and organization needs. Software-defined storage is often a core component of a hyper-converged environment.
