The Software-Defined Data Center and it’s impact on the physical infrastructure
3 likes2,903 views
1. The document discusses how the software-defined data center (SDDC) impacts physical infrastructure design and operations. SDDC separates the physical infrastructure from the virtual infrastructure through software-defined compute, storage, and networking. 2. It outlines challenges that data centers face related to power, cooling, and space capacity issues that can delay application rollouts and require unplanned expenses. DCIM tools are presented as a way to gain visibility and intelligence over these physical resources to optimize capacity management, energy efficiency, and costs. 3. DCIM tools allow monitoring, control, and optimization of the physical infrastructure through features like power and cooling capacity management, heat mapping, asset management, and cost tracking dashboards.
