Software-Defined Storage (SDS)
Intelligent and Scalable Data Management
Data continues to grow at an exponential rate, and by 2025, businesses will need more advanced storage solutions to remain agile. Software-defined storage (SDS) will be critical to efficiently managing this growing volume. SDS decouples storage software from hardware, enabling flexible, scalable management across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
AI and machine learning will play a major role in the evolution of SDS, with real-time data analytics and automation becoming integral to data management strategies. Solutions from Seagate and Synology are pushing the boundaries in SDS, providing businesses with more streamlined and intelligent storage environments.
By integrating AI, these systems will offer predictive data tiering and resource management, optimising storage based on real-time demand. As data flows become increasingly complex, SDS will offer the flexibility needed to handle unstructured data while reducing operational costs and complexity. Exertis Enterprise is helping organisations adopt these advanced storage architectures, ensuring their infrastructure remains agile, scalable, and ready for future demands.
Components (SSD and HDD)
Driving Performance and Capacity
The future of storage components will be driven by the increasing performance and capacity of SSD, HDD & DRAM technologies. Micron, Kioxia, and Solidigm are leading the charge with PCIe 5.0 and upcoming PCIe 6.0 SSDs, offering unparalleled speed for high-performance applications like AI, machine learning, and big data analytics. New physical form-factors for flexible data center use cases are coming, labelled EDSFF, With 5 variants to support your requirements.
On the HDD front, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Seagate are developing larger-capacity drives using EAMR and HAMR technologies, ensuring that HDDs remain indispensable for cost-effective mass-capacity storage. DRAM is evolving and not limited to growth only in capacity. With DRAM options at 6400MHZ, and the introduction of Non-Binary capacities to support today’s application needs of more bandwidth & Cores.
Exertis Enterprise provides a full range of Enterprise class SSD, HDD & DRAM solutions to meet the diverse needs of modern enterprises.
Networking
