Title:

The Software Defined Data Center - a New Architecture for the Mobile-Cloud Era

Abstract:

The mobile cloud era is fundamentally changing the expectations for IT infrastructure which needs to deliver application and services at speed, scale and security greater than ever. Evolving past the limitations of outmoded, hardware-centric architecture, a Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) approach is required. SDDC requires all infrastructural elements including compute, networking and storage to be virtualized and delivered as a service, and the control of the data center entirely automated by software.

The talk introduces industry trends, key technology building blocks, and delivery options of establishing an SDDC.
