13. “The enterprise wants their IT stack to look – and behave – like a cloud,
so the storage infrastructure must support this change.
Within many enterprise IT departments,
this is prompting a fundamental rethink of storage strategy.
Red Hat's software-defined storage portfolio offers
an open source alternative to proprietary technology stacks
to address mounting challenges around the growth of enterprise data.”
