Launches #OpenSDS Project to address storage management challenges and drive enterprise adoption SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - November 08, 2016) - The #LinuxFoundation, the nonprofit advancing professional open source management for mass collaboration, today is announcing it will host OpenSDS, a new open source project to address software-defined storage integration challenges and ultimately help drive enterprise adoption. Storage management today is often overly complex and duplicative, with an assortment of plug-ins and competing software-defined storage controllers for each compute framework. The OpenSDS Project aims to radically simplify the state of storage by creating a common, open controller solution across cloud, containerized, virtualized and other environments. The OpenSDS Project is comprised of storage users and vendors, including #Fujitsu, #Hitachi Data Systems, #Huawei, Oregon State University, #Vodafone and Western Digital. The project will also help unite open source communities of interest such as Cloud Native Computing Foundation, #Docker, #OpenStack, and #OpenContainer Initiative. An initial prototype release is expected to be available Q2 2017 with a BETA release by Q3 2017. OpenSDS will leverage open source technologies, such as Cinder and Manila from the OpenStack community, to best enable support across a wide range of storage products. More details on technical roadmap and release cadence will be available in the coming months.
