What is a Software Defined Data Center?
In a software-defined data center, "all elements of the
infrastructure — networking, storage, CPU and security –
are virtualized and delivered as a service.Source: Wikipedia

The Software Defined Data Center
Compute Networking Storage
Management
• All infrastructure services virtualized: compute, networking, storage
• Underlying hardware abstracted, resources are pooled
• Control of data center automated by software (management, security)
• Virtual Machines are first class citizens of the SDDC
• Today’s session will focus on one aspect of the SDDC - storage

Why Customers are Deploying vSAN Today
Fully integrated SDDC stack,
Available Today
No new tools to learn, vCenter is
already familiar tool for unified
management
Deployment flexibility on public and private Clouds
Most secure HCI solution (vSAN now
has FIPS 140-2 validated
encryption for data at rest)
Best price-performance for VM consolidated
workloads
