The promise of software-defined storage (SDS) is that it will substantially lower upfront costs for enterprise storage.
However, before SDS becomes a big market disruptor vendors have to work on solidifying what the total cost of ownership is for the channel and their customers. This includes management and support costs.

Greg Deffenbaugh, Dell’s enterprise technologist, was interviewed at the event and he outlines the possibilities of SDS for the channel.
