Unified Management and Orchestration
Server virtualization improves data center flexibility – applications are no longer tied to a single physical server and can be migrated across servers within a resource pool to enable availability and load balancing. However, data is typically still tied to a single storage appliance, and each copy of the data is accessible to only one server at a time. Eliminating these constraints using software-defined storage and networking will enable truly fluid IT infrastructure.
SDDC technology enables data to be moved to where it is being used and to be shared by multiple application instances, while performance is dynamically tuned to the requirements of each application. The focus moves from managing hardware to managing the end-user experience with the application – unifying management and automating data orchestration.
