Software-defined storage: Startups bring innovation to SDS
Summary
That has allowed a whole ecosystem of storage software to develop that enables IT organisations to build to their requirements without being reliant on supplier hardware choices.IT organisations can be more flexible and innovative in the design of solutions, or use the features of software-defined storage on existing hyper-converged or public cloud platforms.The platform is provided either as an open-source release (under GPLv2), or as an enterprise product (MooseFS Pro) that includes enterprise-level features supporting high availability.The OpenIO open source model provides access to the software with basic features that can be extended with web GUI support, erasure coding and additional deployment tools under a paid plan.RozoFS software is a POSIX-compliant scale-out file system that uses a patented erasure coding technique called the Mojette Transform, which was developed at the University of Nantes.
