Traditional SAN/NAS storage market is in accelerating

decline

Software-defined storage (SDS) grows from 12% to 49%

between 2016-2020

Most of the SDS marketis hyperscale today

Enterprise SDS is smaller to date, but where the faster

growth is expected

SOFTWARE-DEFINED STORAGE (SDS)SDS ENABLES ABSTRACTION OF THE

HARDWAREFROM THE SOFTWARE

Independence from

high-cost proprietary HW +

SW systems leads to better

pricing and freedom of choice

Hardware is treated

as a pool, scalableacross multiple storage systems

Innovative functionality,

easier to manage, faster to

implement,and more flexible

to scale-out

Integral part of the software-defined

data center (SDDC)

KEY BENEFITS

TRADITIONAL VS. SDS

Lower cost, standardized supply chain

Increased operational flexibility

More programmability, agility, and control

More flexible, well-integrated technology

WHAT ABOUT THE HARDWARE?Original Design Manufacturers (ODM)• Provide a more cost effective storage

infrastructure- ODMs operate on 10% GM versus 60-70%

• Strong ecosystem of design and build partners• Have built strength in parts depots and field

support• Through necessity with many large web-scale

companies buying direct• Intel white-box design helps fast-track their

designs• Quick release cycles and adopt newer

technology quickly
