software-defined data center

A software-defined data center (SDDC) is an integrated data management environment where computing resources like servers, storage, and networking are controlled entirely through software. Instead of manually configuring hardware devices, administrators use software platforms to automatically manage, allocate, and optimize resources across the data center. This approach enhances flexibility, scalability, and efficiency, enabling quick adaptation to changing business needs. Essentially, SDDC virtualizes traditional data center components, allowing centralized control and automation, which reduces costs and simplifies operations while maintaining high performance and security.
