do you see storage being commoditized and if so what sw will be the enabler

To me SDS really means that I am tied to only one vendors hardware. #NetApp facilitates with ONTAP Edge, V-series, and Clustered ONTAP.

#SDS has matured to more than a buzzword now. There are some real value scenarios focused on agile app (1) development & (2) deployment

#SDS means that the software defines the value, and not necessarily the underlying hardware.

large cloud providers have storage solutions that are software-based, typically on servers rather than arrays - this methodology is coming to the enterprise

A1: SDS is defined in software; provisioned based on policy/service level; and deployed on any hardware.

For customers, #SDS is one critical component of defining their overall #cloud strategy - be it public, private or hybrid...

for development SDS offers rich data protection & data management services exposed directly to code, helping generate more data-rich apps more quickly

I think users are still figuring that out for themselves, and it's going to be subjective to each end user. It's up to the industry to define what we're capable of doing for them.

@furrier for deployment SDS offers very agile infrastructure options tailored to specific app needs and always right-sized for the workload at hand

Storage is becoming a commodity. It is the software that extends the functionality of products. #SDS

So practically, customers should be looking to leverage #SDS to accelerate their journey to the cloud...by means of abstraction of storage, #policy-based automation and delivering faster storage services

My approach to SDS is Virtualized Storage Services; Multi-Vendor Hardware; & Application Self-Service. Agree?

One of the benefits of a #SDS is creating repeatable processes for provisioning and protecting your data regardless of the underlying hardware/infrastructure.

Hi John - great to be here!'

First time at the #netappchat - glad to be here. Just finished presenting with @publiccloudguy on @EVault DP Service for #NetApp Good stuff!
