The new data center strategies are
being prepared keeping in mind the cloud requirements of a company. There is
ample focus on the private and public cloud. Organizations are making their
data centers ready for the hybrid model. According to EMC India SMAC findings,
organizations are increasingly moving to the cloud, with 76% now agreeing that
combining public and private cloud can improve security and agility. However,
the challenge for enterprise IT is that it can be difficult to bring together
the performance, security, compliance, and control of private cloud with the
flexibility of public cloud while maintaining interoperability and visibility.
Three major building blocks of SDDC
are network virtualization, storage virtualization, and server virtualization.
According to an IDC report
commissioned by VMware titled 'Empowering Organizations in a Software Defined
World,’ an estimated $4 bn is expected to be avoided between 2014 and 2020 with
a software defined approach to manage IT in India. Clearly, though at nascent
stage, Indian enterprises are realizing the benefits of SDDC within the
Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Software Defined Storage (SDS) markets
and its potential to realign the capabilities of the internal IT department
with the elastic and agile demands of businesses.
Key Benefits
Streamlining the
Datacenter: SDDC provides
tremendous benefits for all enterprises that struggle with datacenter
management, especially those with limited IT resources and will be the
foundation of next generation of cloud computing and cloud-based services. Most
importantly, it dramatically simplifies processes and increases the speed of
appropriating and provisioning networking, server and storage resources,
enabling an organization to become more flexible, a gile and
responsive to customers. With automated policy-based provisioning, application
deployment can occur in minutes—or even seconds.
Automating the Datacenter: SDDC conserves hardware and staff resources and is a
very cost-effective method. This allows staff to focus on business-critical
technology innovation instead of routine management tasks and the
infrastructure to be used more efficiently.
Improved Security: Trust is of utmost importance for mobile, cloud, big
data, and social environments and it is set to drive next-generation datacenter
technology ahead. Compliance with security policies and mandates, is ensured
with the help of unified monitoring of datacenters as it provides a holistic
outlook of data resources and eliminates fragmented monitoring.
