Software-defined data center

Software-defined data center - Automating virtualized infrastructure

The demands placed on IT to provide applications and services quickly and broadly are higher than ever before. Constantly changing business requirements call for fast reactions, without jeopardizing agility, efficiency, control or freedom of choice. A software-defined data center (SDDC) significantly increases the value contribution of your company IT, ensures greater security, availability and faster service provision, as well as reducing operating costs.

Why an SDDC?

An SDDC can help IT departments relieve their infrastructure administrators of repetitive tasks and automating these through standardization. This frees up capacity for the administrators that they can then use to adjust the IT environments to the constantly changing requirements, therefore building and expanding the company’s ability to innovate.

Components in an SDDC

When constructing an SDDC, the focus is on both internal infrastructure issues like hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI), network virtualization and container solutions, as well as private, hybrid and multi-cloud scenarios. Creating a hybrid-cloud scenario, for example, allows businesses to transparently move resources to cloud environments without having to adjust their virtual machines.

Experience and processes in an SDDC

SVA has many years of experience in constructing and implementing SDDC stacks, going beyond just infrastructure issues. When constructing an SDDC, it is vital that organizational aspects of the business are taken into account in the process. It also requires experience in general cloud solutions and particularly the connectivity with the company’s own data center. For many customers, creating an SDDC is just the beginning of the process of introducing agile IT and development processes. Our clients benefit from our leading expertise in this area.
