Software-Defined Storage | 軟體定義儲存

  • 軟體定義儲存是甚麼?
    軟體定義儲存(SDS)就是所謂的虛擬化儲存系統,是電腦資料儲存的一個進階概念,它以「軟體」控制的方法來決定資料儲存的方針及管理方式,而與儲存的「硬體」本身無關聯。SDS可以在軟體定義資料中心運作,也可作為獨立技術運行。提供重複資料刪除、複製、精簡資源調配和備份等管理策略。

  • 為何需要?
    由於軟體定義的儲存系統它不受限於硬體,能輕易達成容量擴充和效能提升,並且不會導致儲存系統停機。 硬體也可以分佈在不同的位置,不同裝置和位置的儲存容量可以組合成一個儲存資源中心,根據需求來運用。

    SDS 平台也能用於x86伺服器,此系列的硬體與系統皆可使用,並確保不會被供應商綁定(以前的硬體儲存系統非常依賴供應商,使用者很少具有採購和升級能力)。也因 SDS 平台屬於開放式軟體,這些軟體都持續由大量使用者進行改善和更新,並維持與硬體、作業系統和軟體程式皆能相容,並提供開放的可程式化 API與其他應用系統做廣泛的整合和流程自動化。

  • 誰會用到?
    SDS非常合適在大量虛擬化運算環境中使用,如企業内部的私有雲。由於SDS不再受限實體空間, 又能精簡空間配置,刪除重複的資料,以及高度擴充性(使用者可依據需求輕鬆地增加容量,不需要提前幾個月或幾年額外投資)。 因此,對希望同時降低資金和營運成本的企業來說,SDS被視為取代傳統的儲存設備的理想選擇!

  • 技嘉的特色
    GIGABYTE 目前正在與多個軟體定義的儲存平台供應商協同合作,提供一系列相關儲存設備( 整合SDS 軟體和 GIGABYTE 伺服器硬體),以滿足客戶不同的性能、容量和成本要求。

    What is a Server? A Tech Guide by GIGABYTE

    In the modern age, we enjoy an incredible amount of computing power—not because of any device that we own, but because of the servers we are connected to. They handle all our myriad requests, whether it is to send an email, play a game, or find a restaurant. They are the inventions that make our intrinsically connected age of digital information possible. But what, exactly, is a server? GIGABYTE Technology, an industry leader in high-performance servers, presents our latest Tech Guide. We delve into what a server is, how it works, and what exciting new breakthroughs GIGABYTE has made in the field of server solutions.
