Software Defined Storage (SDS) frameworks offer storage services that provide high availability, durability and reliability guarantees. However, these guarantees come at a performance cost. While drives can offer microsecond latency and throughput of millions of IOPs, SDS services typically offer millisecond access latencies with 10-100K IOPs throughput.

Cloud customers need a range of storage types to use as the durable layer of their systems. For example, some customers want a Blob interface, some want to use files, and others want disks. Cloud providers must offer all of these and more options, while continuing to innovate and reduce costs. Creating separate systems for each product offering is inefficient. Trying to build all product offerings on one system is ineffective.
