Announcing the Databricks storage ecosystem: Governing the enterprise data estate, wherever it lives
Databricks announces a Software-Defined Storage (SDS) Ecosystem for governing enterprise data across on-premises, private-cloud, and edge environments without requiring migration. It responds to sovereignty and regulatory constraints, data-gravity economics, latency requirements, and the need to unlock AI value in backup, archive, and other previously inaccessible data. Storage partners implement the open-source OpenSharing protocol, expose an endpoint, and connect it to Unity Catalog so Databricks Serverless Compute can access governed data where it resides. The integrations provide a unified catalog and support Serverless Compute, Genie, AgentBricks, and model training with zero data movement or duplication; MinIO is generally available, while Everpure, Qumulo, and VAST Data are in preview stages. Databricks also says commitments are in place from six additional providers and that Volumes APIs are being developed to extend OpenSharing to unstructured files for generative-AI workloads.
