Distributed Storage System Market Leading Companies Sought Strategic Collaborations to Establish Stronger Footprint

A huge amount of digital data is created every day, with the amount of data per person growing exponentially each year. This has led to major complexity in storing and retrieving data. However, over a period of time the data storage technique has evolved, in order to accommodate the rising needs of enterprises and individuals. The traditional method of data storage is no longer useful. Moreover, traditional data storage solutions, specifically the stand alone, dedicated storage box is ineffective both for technical and economic reasons.

With the growing need for a better and effective approach for storing data, technocrats and large firms have been involved in continuous research and development to develop efficient data storage solutions. Currently, distributed storage is the most effective way of storing data.

Distributed data storage is a concept of storing data on a number of standard servers that act as a single storage unit while the data is distributed amid the specific number of servers. One can conclude that a distributed storage system is a more advanced form of the concept of software defined storage (SDS). One of the vital reasons for the popularity of distributed data storage solutions are its flexibility. The DSS uses a standard server that is powerful. Moreover, they allow storage to act as the software application more like a database or an operating system. It therefore no longer requires any specialized storage box to handle the dedicated function of data storage management. This therefore simplifies the information technology stack and creates a single block for the data center. This in turns give the freedom of scaling by adding more servers which increases both the capacity and performance. The second benefit of distributed data storage solution is speed. In a DSS system, any standard server has a central processing unit, network interface, RAM and drives all these components to behave as one group. So at any point of time, if one adds a server, there is an increment in the total components and this thereby increases the speed of the entire system.
