What is OpenSDS?
OpenSDS is an open source community working to address storage integration challenges, particularly in scale-out cloud native environments with heterogeneous storage platforms.
OpenSDS Goals
- No vendor lock-in
- Not under the control of a single or small group of companies
- Accelerate development with shared components
- Solve common end-user pain points
- Optimize storage operations and utilization
- Deploy in traditional or cloud-native environments
- Mix and match ‘OpenSDS Ready’ hardware, software, UI, services, and apps
- Hit the ground running with new projects
