Enterprise business leaders want their IT to be like Amazon New IT Internal/Hybrid Software Defined Data Center (SDDC) or No IT Outsourced or Hardware Defined Data Center (HDDC) 5
Taking what we have learned. Automated Operational Model Programmatically Create, Snapshot, Store, Move, Delete, Restore Software Applications Virtual Machines Server Virtualization Intelligence in the virtualization layer Vendor independent x86 capacity Transformative operational model Automated configuration & management Hardware Manual Operational Model Compute Capacity Network Storage Intelligence in hardware Dedicated, vendor specific infrastructure Manual configuration & management
To deliver a Software Defined Data Center approach Automated Operational Model Programmatically Create, Snapshot, Store, Move, Delete, Restore Software Virtual Machines Applications Virtual Networks Data Center Virtualization Virtual Storage Hardware Compute Capacity Network Capacity Storage Capacity Pooled compute, network and storage capacity Vendor independent, best price/performance Simplified configuration & management Location Independence
SDDC is an approach, not a product. Applications Software Hardware Virtual Machines Compute Capacity Virtual Networks Data Center Virtualization Network Capacity Virtual Storage Storage Capacity Application Consumption Desktop Internet Virtual Desktop Laptop Tablet Mobile Location Independence
