OpenDrives is launching composable storage software in a bid to end capacity-centric licensing.
The pitch is that a typical storage software product is full of features users may not want but can’t avoid buying. This is similar to using a word processor with hundreds of different and powerful features, but in reality you just use a handful of the basic functions. Businesses small and large are forced to purchase all the functions, even if they only use 5 percent of them. In terms of storage software, customers can buy a reduced function entry-level product with capacity constraints and a full-function feature set with higher capacity and performance. Both can be inflexible.
