    Data defined storage

    Data defined storage (also referred to as a data centric approach) is a marketing term for managing,
    protecting, and realizing value from data by combining application, information and storage tiers.[1]

    This is achieved through a process where users, applications, and devices gain access to a repository of
    captured metadata that allows them to access, query and manipulate the relevant data to transform it into
    information, while providing a flexible and scalable platform for storage of the underlying data. The
    technology abstracts the data entirely from the storage, allowing fully transparent access to users.

    Core technology
    Data defined storage focuses on metadata with an emphasis on the content, meaning and value of
    information over the media, type and location of data. Data centric management enables organizations to
    take a single, unified approach to managing data across large, distributed locations which includes the use
    of content and metadata indexing. The technology pillars include:

    1. Media Independent Data Storage: Data defined storage removes media centric data storage
    boundaries within and across solid-state drive, hard disk drive, cloud storage and tape
    storage platforms, enables linear scale out functionality through a grid based Map Reduce
    architecture that leverages enterprise object storage technology and provides transparent
    data access across globally distributed repositories for high volume storage performance.
    2. Data Security & Identity Management: Data defined storage allows organizations to gain
    end-to-end identity management down to the individual user and device level to address
    growing enterprise mobility requirements and enhanced data security and information
    governance.
    3. Distributed metadata repository: Data defined storage enables organizations to virtualize
    aggregate file systems into a single global namespace. At ingestion; file, full text index and
    custom metadata is collected and stored in a distributed metadata repository. This repository
    is leveraged to enable speed and accuracy of search and discovery, and to extract value
    leading to informed business decisions and analytics.

    Data defined storage builds on the benefits of both object storage and software-defined storage
    technologies, however, object and software-defined storage can only be mapped to media independent data
    storage, which enables a media agnostic infrastructure - utilizing any type of storage, including low cost
    commodity storage to scale out to petabyte-level capacities. Data defined storage unifies all data repositories
    and exposes globally distributed stores through the global namespace, eliminating data silos and improving
    storage utilization.

    Usage
    The first marketing using this term was by Tarmin, in its GridBank product. The data defined storage term
    might have been mentioned in 2013.[2] Tamrin issued press releases about customers.[3][4]
    The data defined storage term was used for object storage with open protocol access for file system
    virtualization, such as CIFS, NFS, FTP as well as REST APIs and other cloud protocols such as Amazon
    S3, CDMI and OpenStack.
