Software-Defined Data Centres
Over a decade ago, we made the first step towards software-defined data centres by virtualizing server resources. We continue that journey by virtualizing storage and networks.
The fastest growing segments of software-defined data centres are Software Defined Storage (SDS) and Software Defined Networks (SDN). Automation and orchestration systems are another important component of a software-defined data centre. These systems enable you to manage all components from a single point using unified tools and modern communication standards (REST API).
Simplified Management
Deployment of software-defined components is much simpler and faster than deploying a hardware component.
Automation and Orchestration
Programmability enables us to create a highly automated and orchestrated system.
Independence
Software-defined data centres require generic servers, which means independence from hardware makers.
Cost effectivnes
At the hardware level, general purpose servers represent the only cost. Systems can be created using many free open source software solutions.
