SDS deals with storage virtualization meant to separate the software from the storage hardware. In general, it is a term for computer data storage software for data storage management and policy provisioning, independent of the underlying hardware. With SDS, organizations can scale and manage their data storage architectures, and achieve higher efficiency at lower costs as compared to legacy systems.

The rise in the volume of unstructured data has made the vendors to improve their setups for big data and cloud. The vendors are still in the phase of technological innovation to cater to the increasing volumes of data. In addition, several organizations are already transforming their data centres to software defined data centres (SDDC). As the organizations are shifting their IT strategy and focus towards automated and virtualized infrastructures, SDS is likely to reshape the storage industry.

The rise in volumes of structured and unstructured data, growing interest in software defined concept, and requirements for efficiency and cost optimization are the major factors for the growth of software defined storage market. The market is segmented by component, organization size, usage, verticals, and regions. Some of the major vendors in the market are VMware, IBM, Fujitsu, Nutanix, Data, EMC, HPE, DataCore, Pivot3, Hitachi, and SwiftStack.
