NEW YORK, Oct. 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- As the data
center grows more complex and more central to meeting
organizations' business needs, old technologies and processes may
not be up to the task. That's why savvy IT professionals are
deploying virtualization management tools, software-defined
networks and storage, and converged infrastructures for their
organizations. They are setting the foundation for the Software
Defined Data Center (SDDC) that is in their future. Logicalis US,
an international IT solutions and managed services provider
(www.us.logicalis.com), has identified four key benefits to the
Software Defined Data Center that will help CIOs wrestling with
tough choices make the decision to move from a manual to an
automated data center infrastructure and environment.

"The Software Defined Data Center levels the playing field for
underlying compute, networking and storage infrastructures,
bringing together infrastructures that may be currently independent
or siloed and turning them into a singularly controllable
environment," says Samad Ali, Vice
President of the HP Business Group for Logicalis US. "This data
center environment can then be centrally monitored and managed
using smart tools like HP OneView integrated with VMware's vCenter
Server and vCenter Operations Management Suite. Now collaborative
decision-making can be implemented via a single console to
accurately direct resources and network profiles and create subtle
changes that can deliver significant improvements."
Four Key Benefits to the Software Defined Data Center
- Provides a business-focused approach. Shifting from a
technology or devices approach to one that supports how people work
both within the data center and throughout the organization is one
of the main benefits to the SDDC. The SDDC automates the delivery
of your IT resources through a unified process – so your data
center operates the way you want, not the way component or siloed
technologies demand.
- Simplifies data center management.Simpler is better.
Rather than using multiple tools to manage the variety of
technologies in today's data center – from servers to switches to
storage devices – the SDDC provides a single platform for
monitoring, updating and scaling server, storage and networking
resources.
- Increases the speed of service delivery. The use of
automation and software-defined mapping of server, storage and
networking resources provides for greater agility, control,
efficiency and reliability when deploying enterprise technology
services.
- Extends benefits of automation and orchestration. With a
properly-configured SDDC, you are poised to extend the benefits of
automation and orchestration into any IT services delivery
workflow. This means that previously complex IT services can be
deployed in a standard, repeatable fashion.
