Industry-Standard Hardware
Thanks to SDDC technology, hardware is becoming entirely abstracted – moving existing infrastructure into centrally managed resource pools, improving utilization and performance management, and reducing operating complexity. It also provides the capability to weave industry-standard components into the infrastructure.
Data center operators can now quickly incorporate new components into their infrastructure to benefit from designs with improved performance and lower cost, while matching workload requirements with hardware performance and cost. For example, highly transactional workloads requiring low latency can utilize flash storage and 40GbE networking, while archiving systems can utilize large-capacity disk drives and cheaper networking components.
