For many years supply chain security appears to have been something of a second-tier priority for both software developers and the companies that rely upon their product. It was more common to focus attention on what happens after the software is built, through code reviews, penetration testing, and the development and implementation of patches and updates. This type of approach overlooks the very real possibility that, even with all the efforts mentioned above, end users still have no guarantee they are actually installing the application originally conceived as a code base. Over time, this somewhat myopic vision has given malicious actors multiple opportunities to insert malware or damage images. But, recent events have rapidly forced the industry to take a wider perspective on how software security is defined.

In architecting the ETERNUS DSP series the fundamental goal was to provide customers the ability to autonomously adapt and compose the infrastructure to precise application needs, via the unique ability to concurrently and seamlessly manage heterogeneous hardware and media, present or future, unlike any other storage system in the market. We enable customers the ability to “live” change the system in response to both failures, and more importantly, events that improve the applications that ETERNUS DSP series is supporting. Enterprise storage software must strike a balance between delivering availability, performance and scalability along with data agility and developer velocity. This white paper describes the choices, advantages and trade-offs we made in delivering the attributes of Enterprise Storage while revolutionizing the ability to scale, manage and change the system.
