Software-defined Data Center (SDDC)
Speed is the main motive that prompts businesses to switch to software-defined data centres.
The complexity of obsolete IT infrastructure means that it lacks the dynamism and flexibility to be able to change course and adapt quickly. Because data centres are controlled by software, optimum use can be made of simple management tools. For example, servers can be rolled out automatically and applications made available quickly. Businesses such as Netflix and Uber have grown large in this way. SDDCs will also considerably shorten your time to market.
An SDDC means a consistent and flexible platform in which all parts of your IT infrastructure are virtualised. A virtual layer simulates the hardware of the past and splits it up so that it can be used optimally. In this way, one virtual server can perform the work of many different physical servers in a traditional IT environment.
SDDCs can stretch effortlessly to cope with unpredictable work spikes. As a result, you avoid extra investment in more traditional servers that may be needed to deal with occasional extra workload. This also has the effect of immediately and significantly reducing your overall IT costs.
Computing, storage and networking can be fully software-controlled via an SDDC, and complex and time-consuming tasks such as provisioning, configuration and deployment can be automated. This gives you more time and resources for what really matters: your core business.
The latest generation of SDDC solutions are largely standardised. The days of vendor-specific standards with a whole host of exceptions requiring a lot of maintenance and resources are over. With some simple compromises, enormous simplicity is created to allow the full management of your software-driven IT infrastructure.
