DATACENTER
Software Defined Datacenter
When Virtualization became mainstream it shook the foundation of the Datacenter.
OVERVIEW
How it Works
No longer did you have 1 application assigned to 1 server. The 9% utilization of servers became a metric of the past. Server Utilization became 60–80% utilized with multiple applications on virtual machines co-habitating on the same server. Shared storage became much more important in your datacenter. But Virtualization first phase was compute; the servers. Next phase was almost concurrent: Network and storage became virtualized! This virtualization meant your traditional DataCenter functions were now an abstraction that can almost run anywhere!
WHY YOU NEED SOFTWARE DEFINED DATACENTER
BENEFITS TO SDDC
#1
Entire Datacenter networks could be migrated from layer 2 to another data center with a few clicks.
#2
Huge monolithic 3 tier infrastructure silos are no longer your albatross, but instead the SDDC fueled an unprecedented velocity for the DataCenter.
#3
Enabling agility, and performance from weeks and months to minutes and seconds.
