Technology transition is underway in the data centers towards everything being software defined. Over the past several years there has been a clear shift towards software defined storage (SDS) to gain cost and operational efficiencies to deal with the world's ever expanding data growth.

Cloud hyperscalers are known for their SDS leadership, but enterprises are increasing adopting SDS on-premises by mimicking these cloud deployments. In this software defined world, physical storage equipment has already changed considerably, and we expect this change to accelerate as the IT world moves towards composable infrastructures.

During this session we will discuss what's driving the broad trends towards software defined everything and especially software defined storage. Details on the latest solutions from the enterprise storage vendors will be discussed. Insights on how the adoption of SDS will continue to escalate to meet the demands of our increasingly data centric world.
