It's the ability to, in essence, put another virtual layer upon existing storage systems so we don't have to deal with the native complexities of the various storage systems out there. So ultimately if we're removing the complexities, we don't have the deal with the differences. For instance we don't have to understand the native capabilities and the feature sets of block, object and file storage.
