{{Short description|Type of computer data storage}}
'''Software-defined storage ''' ('''SDS''') is a marketing term for [[computer data storage]] software for policy-based provisioning and management of data storage independent of the underlying hardware. Software-defined storage typically includes a form of [[storage virtualization]] to separate the storage hardware from the software that manages it.<ref>{{Cite web |title= Definition: software-defined storage |author= Margaret Rouse |work= SearchSDN |publisher= Tech Target <!-- reliable? --> |url= http://searchsdn.techtarget.com/definition/software-defined-storage |accessdate= November 7, 2013 }}</ref> The software enabling a software-defined storage environment may also provide policy management for features such as [[data deduplication]], replication, [[thin provisioning]], snapshots and backup.
