** [[OpenStack]] and its Swift, [[Ceph (software)|Ceph]] and Cinder APIs for storage interaction, which have been applied{{by whom|date=August 2014}} to open-source projects as well as to vendor products.

** A number of Object Storage platforms are also examples of software-defined storage implementations examples of this are [[Scality]] RING and the open source swift project.

** Number of distributed storage solutions like [[Gluster]] are good examples of software defined storage.

* Automation with policy-driven storage provisioning with [[service-level agreement]]s replacing technology details. This requires management interfaces that span traditional storage-array products, as a particular definition of separating "control plane" from "data plane", in the spirit of [[OpenFlow]]. Prior industry standardization efforts included the [[Storage Management Initiative – Specification]] (SMI-S) which began in 2000.

* Commodity hardware with storage logic abstracted into a software layer. This is also described{{by whom|date=August 2014}} as a [[clustered file system]] for [[converged storage]].
