The document discusses new challenges for IT including rapid application development and deployment, exploding data volumes, inefficient infrastructure silos, and lack of control over external infrastructure resources. It proposes that heterogeneous storage resources be abstracted into logical pools consumed through policy-based automation. The document also discusses how software-defined datacenters can offer benefits like fast innovation, flexibility, and ease of deployment compared to hardware-defined datacenters. Finally, it presents a model where applications and devices are supported across public, private and hybrid clouds that are managed through a software-defined datacenter built on a common hardware infrastructure.

09 June 2016 St. Peter’s Square New Challenges for IT… …Require New Data Center Capabilities 1. Velocity–Continuous application 1. Apps and services in production development and deployment on-demand 2. Explosion of data volume 2. Automated, dynamic resource 3. Inefficient infrastructure silos assignment with ecosystem 4. IT Losing Control–Use of integration external infrastructure 3. HW-agnostic and elastic resources scalability 4. Hybrid infrastructure with IT control Digital Business is Transforming How Organizations Approach Application Development Gartner June 2015 Operational Model of Compute to Storage
Heterogeneous storage resources are abstracted into logical
pools, consumed and managed through app-centric policybased automation Security is Transforming SOFTWARE-DEFINED DATACENTER
All Infrastructure Is Virtualized And Delivered
As A Service & The Control Of This Datacenter Is Entirely Automated By Software. Benefit Hardware-defined (HDDC) Software-defined (SDDC) Innovation Slow Fast Long hardware/ASIC cycles Rapid software innovation Flexibility No Yes Lock-in Choice of infrastructure Ease of insertion/ Low High deployment Requires forklift upgrade Non-disruptive The Foundation of the New Model of IT
