One Framework for Data Management

DATA MOBILITY

A unified solution for a seamless data mobility across Edge to On-prem to Cloud can help to build next generation usecases for all the technologies, like Edge Computing, cloud, Blockchain, BigData and so on. SODA has a specific focus on Data Mobility to provide non-fragmented solutions for data tiering, replication, live migration, distributed data storage and runtime management. The usecases are across Edge, Cloud (Across multicloud vendors like AWS, Azure, Google, IBM, or any third party cloud providers), On-prem or Hybrid cloud.

DATA PROTECTION

Protection of the data agaist loss or correption is a critical aspect of Data Management. SODA explores various solutions (existing and new) to provide consolidated solution to manage your snapshots, replications and recovery. Using data protection policies, snapshots can be programmed to be taken at intervals, and can be replicated to different storage, or to the cloud for disaster recovery.

DATA SECURITY

Data Security and privacy of the data are key concerning factors for business scaling today. The entrusted solutions, especially for data at run are too less and sparse. SODA strives to bring industry experts together to tackle this key challenge by providing unified access policies, access management and fool proof data securing solutions.

DATA LIFECYCLE

Today, each cloud vendor or storage solution providers give different lifecycle methodologies. This makes it hard to do data lifecycle management across edge, on-prem and multiple clouds. SODA combines different storage resources on-premise, and across multiple clouds to build tiers. Using data lifecycle policies, data that meets the lifecycle conditions is moved to the next tier, allowing data to be stored efficiently throughout their lifecycle. SODA tries to bring a transparent, vendor agnostic solution for the same.

CLOUD NATIVE STORAGE

One of the key factors driving the cloud migration of deployments is cloud native ecosystem and Kubernetes today. SODA provides persistent storage to Kubernetes stateful workloads with the SODA CSI driver. SODA connects storage systems on the backend and consolidate them into storage pools for dynamic provisioning. Multi-vendor cloud native storage that support CSI can also be plugged into SODA backend, so that they can be managed with a common SODA CSI driver, reducing complex multi-driver management. This can open up a new way of consolidating heterogeneous cloud native storage management through standard API layer.

HETEROGENEOUS STORAGE & PLATFORMS

SODA integrates multiple application platforms (like Kubernetes, OpenStack, VMWare and more) and provides a unified interface to heterogeneous storage backends seamless with its unique data platform. It strives to build standard platform for all data and storage management from different platforms/ applications. Administration, Management, Monitoring, Alert Management and Anomaly detection across different platform clusters over heterogeneous storage backend can be done efficiently using SODA solutions.

DATA ORCHESTRATION

SODA is working to support data orchestration for IoT, edge, big data, machine learning and other popular application frameworks, across different backend storage, platforms and multiple clouds by building an efficient distributed data store. This is one of the key focus areas which the SODA team believes that, it can facilitate all the data related requirements at edge, onprem and cloud/hybrid cloud. Also we envisions to get a scalable, microservice based data store platform, which can even get deployed for p2p networks in the future.

DATA ENERGY

A new area of focus which tries to profile, analyse and optimize the energy consumption for data management. Soon Data Energy can be a key ROI and competitive parameter for data solutions. SODA community identifies this as one of the areas of exploration to build standard methodologies for energy efficient data solutions.
