Jeda Networks describes themselves as a “software-defined storage networking” company. Given my previous role at EMC (involved in storage) and my current role at VMware focused on network virtualization (which encompasses SDN), I was quite curious. If there is a better definition, please let me know.)

In the text below, I examine an on-premise Hadoop ecosystem as a general purpose Big Data solution in relation to alternative commercial purpose-built storage technologies (-e.g. The data is too big, moves too fast, or does not fit the structures of your database architectures.

Stateless images allow you to save a great deal of storage but limits the user’s ability to customize their environment. This increases the storage and management overhead. You can think of this as the traditional “Linked Clones” technique, which allows shrinking the storage footprint in the data center.

Similarly, running storage controller software as virtual machines isn’t software-defined storage, it’s the storage equivalent of NFV (SFV?). Separating the storage control plane from the storage data plane is a much closer storage analogy to SDN, in my opinion. Storage Virtualization EMC'

Hadoop offers petabytes of data storage and can handle multiple workloads. Combined with Cloudera technology, it becomes a secure and powerful enterprise architecture. Data security segregates data from privileged user accounts including system administrators and protects storage from theft or improper disposal.

Infrastructure Orchestration and Unified Computing are both terms referring to a technology whereby server CPU, I/O, storage connectivity, and network, are all able to be defined and configured in software. And, by abstracting the I/O, both data and storage connections can be converged, further simplifying the network infrastructure.
