A Software-Defined Data Center(SDDC) compasses different elements and each of them can be potentially manipulated through programming software, without the need of using manual configuration and management of resources, what instead happens in the traditional data centers. SDDC is therefore controlled by automated software in a simple and rapid way.
Core components of SDDC are the following: networking virtualization, storage virtualization and virtual machines (or computer virtualization). Let’s go see them in the details.
-Networking virtualization: is the method of combining the available resources in a network by splitting up the available bandwidth into channels, each of which is independent from the others and can be assigned to a particular server or device in real time.
-Storage virtualization: provides for the pooling of physical storage from multiple network storage devices into what appears to be a single storage device managed from a central console.
-Virtual machines (or computer virtualization): correspond to the virtualization of physical servers through the creation of virtual machines. Thanks to a software application, one physical server is divided into multiple isolated virtual environments.
The main benefit of a Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) comes from the software use to provision, provide and manage resources and services: thanks to this, operational costs can be eliminated saving a lot of time and money. Besides of being a high-flexible and performing infrastructure, SDDC brings additional advantages to companies in terms reduction of energy consumption and security improvement, thanks to a centralised control on the whole IT infrastructure. For these reasons Software-Defined Data Centers are considered by many as the next step of the evolution in cloud computing and virtualization field.
SDDC is the ideal solution for companies that need a performing and agile infrastructure, able to optimize the business productivity and use IT resources in the most efficient way at lower prices, thanks to an approach based on virtualization.
