Abstract
Software Defined Storage- the Nextgen Storage
This session will appeal to Development Managers, Ssytem
Integrators and Data Center Managers that are seeking a
fundamental understanding of SDDC and SDS . The session
will delve into the emergence of Software Defined Storage and
how its role in Software Defined Data Center (SDDC) heavily
contrbutes to creating IT as a Service. Not limited to developers,
the session will also bring a clear understanding of the value of
SDDC/SDS to the Developers, System Integrators and the IT
community. The audience will receive the fundamental
grounding in this new technology, and how they cab adopt in
their IT environment..

• When the Storage Hypervisor
is created, the capabilities of
DataStore are automatically
surfaced up to Virtual
Management Center
• These capabilities are used for
setting VM Storage Policies
• VM Storage Policies will
contain the availability,

requirements of the virtual
machine (or specifically the
applications running in the
virtual machine) in the form of
