Abstract:
The disclosure is related to a software-defined storage apparatus, a system and a storage method. The apparatus includes at least one packet-switched unit and multiple storage units. Each storage unit includes a server unit and a storage device. The server unit connects with the packet-switched unit via at least one network connection port, and connects with the storage device via a data transmission port. A plurality of software-defined storage apparatus forms a storage system. The multiple packet-switched units are respectively connected with an external switch. The server units in the different storage units are communicated with each other via a network communication protocol allowing the apparatus or the system to store data in a specific storage mode. The system can thereby achieve network connection redundancy. A data access redundancy can be achieved when the server units in each storage unit is connected to the multiple packet-switched units.

Claim (Index 3):
The apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein the at least one packet-switched unit respectively connects with one or more external switches for implementing network connection redundancy in the software-defined storage apparatus.
