The Modern Data Center For A Digital World

A software-defined data center (SDDC), in which infrastructure is virtualized and delivered as a service, can provide numerous benefits. The availability of pooled server, storage and network hardware, for instance, reduces the need for specialized components and servers in favor of affordable, off-the-shelf hardware that is easier to maintain. 

Data center infrastructure management (DCIM) tools can give an organization a comprehensive view of key elements such as power, cooling and computing burden, helping to identify inefficiencies and spot potential problems. Together, these tools can help shift data center optimization into high gear.
