Software Defined Storage Implementation Model to Data Centers

Abstract

This research focuses on deliver a SDS implementation model that facilitate the definition of requirements to be delivered in a timely manner to systems. Software Defined Storage (SDS) enables different hardware technologies to be homogenized and deliver independent storage. The technologies included on the implementation model are the open-source projects Red Hat Gluster Storage and Red Hat Ceph Storage. Both technologies are integrated into a virtualization platform, it is compared at a functional and economic level with respect to some enterprise solutions and it is shown that the same operations are performed as a viable technological alternative. The favorable results of the model are presented and the great benefit that open-source technologies have open scope that allows it to be integrated into other projects is presented.
