The
IT industry is growing due to increasing demand of IT related
services by end-users throughout the world. IT services enable
organizations to benefit from lesser time to market. IT related
services are also used by organizations to manage their entire vendor
and client network effectively. Due to increasing use of IT related
services by organizations, managing of traditional datacenter is
going to become more complex in long run. Thus, organizations are now
opting for new ways in order to deliver and manage their IT services
with fewer infrastructures. Organizations want to decrease their
overhead cost and expand their operation in lesser time. Thus, the
concept of software defined data center becomes prominent for a fast
growing organization.
Software
defined data center is basically a virtual IT infrastructure
that delivers all elements of a traditional infrastructure such as
network, server and storage according to the organization’s demand.
This helps the organization to eliminate the hardware part of its
current system and manage entire infrastructure through the use of a
software system. Software defined data center helps to mitigate the
risk of organizations such as cost associated with memory and power
and IT security. Software defined data center consist of three core
components namely software defined networking, software defined
storage and software defined computing. The market for software
defined networking is going to increase in coming years as
organizations are expanding their network worldwide. Thus, the use of
software defined networking will help organizations to control its
network through a single system.
Software
defined data center can be installed in organization’s own
datacenter through a service provider. These help organizations to
manage their existing datacenter efficiently through a suite of
service provider software. Generally, organizations assign individual
infrastructure for efficiently operating each application in the
system. Therefore, the cost associated with maintaining multiple
infrastructure increases as an organization has to operate multiple
applications. Software defined data center enables the organizations
to club all application system under one infrastructure. This allows
organizations to utilize existing data storage space for future
purpose.
Software
defined data center helps to overcome problems associated with
flexibility, scalability and management of multiple infrastructures.
With introduction of cloud based services, organizations are
able to provide better service to their end-user and upgrade service
in lesser time. Most of the organizations are increasingly choosing
private and hybrid cloud solutions to reduce their cost and deliver
service in less time. Cloud based system involves complex operational
challenges due to integration of multiple client system under one
cloud based system. Software defined data center helps to isolate
individual client system through offering separate virtual network
and storage solution through use of software system. Thus, the
problem associated with breaching of data security is minimized.
Software
defined data center resolve the problem of interoperability
through integration of different application under a common
infrastructure. Due to increasing demand of cloud based service, the
market for software defined data center is going to increase in
coming years. Software defined data center is finding its application
in areas of cloud computing, telecom providers and large IT
enterprises.
Some
of the key software defined data center service providers are IBM
Corporation, Cisco Systems, Inc., Oracle Corporation, EMC
Corporation, VMware, Inc., Hitachi Data Systems, Hewlett-Packard
Development Company L.P, Dell, Inc. and Intel Corporation.
