The Growing Demand for Software-Defined Everything
By admin In Blog On November 5, 2017
As firms look for cost-effective, agile ways to deliver IT services, they are using software-defined everything: data centers, networking, security and storage.
The “software-defined everything” movement continues to garner attention from enterprises and smaller businesses, as organizations look for more cost-effective and agile ways to deliver IT services to users. Companies can now deploy software-defined data centers (SDDC),software-defined networking, software-defined networking security and software-defined storage, among other technologies.
There is rising demand for software-defined everything, and it’s being driven by two key factors. For one thing, IT organizations and service providers want to increase the efficiency of their data centers, which will result in lower costs. “Software-defined allows for full utilization of resources, more automation and the ability to purchase lower-cost hardware,” he points out.
The second factor is that IT organizations want to increase agility. “Software-defined allows the faster re-provisioning of resources, and allows IT organizations and service providers to respond quicker to business demands.”
The potential benefits of software-defined everything are compelling. They include greater automation; faster provisioning of IT resources; decreased hardware costs; faster time to implementation; and more efficient use of storage, networking and computing.
