About SDDC

Software-Defined Data Center solutions provide a framework to reduce TCO, automate IT tasks, and accelerate data center application deployments. In SDDC environments, all infrastructure is virtualized and delivered as a service with the control of the datacenter is entirely automated by software. SDDC uses a business-relevant software-defined networking (SDN) policy model across networks, servers, storage, security, and services. With application-aware architecture, SDDC provides automated, integrated provisioning of both underlay and overlay networks, L4-7 services provisioning, and extensive telemetry for application level health monitoring.

Drivers and Benefits

SDDC solutions help customers manage and excel in complex environments by increasing operational efficiencies, delivering network automation, and improving security for any combination of on-premises data centers, private, and public clouds. In SDDC environments resources can be represented in virtualized or abstracted software, therefore physical connections do not have to be physically manipulated to make changes. This increase the corporate agility to support business requirements. Additionally, using software to plan, provision, and manage services can automate or self-provision services for customers, speeding up service deployment and saving money on operational costs of expensive manual configurations. SDDC solutions assist customers to deploy and migrate applications seamlessly across geographies with consistent policy.
