Software Defined Data Center
Software Defined Data Center
Cloud computing has arrived in many companies. The data centre of the future will no longer be found on company premises. Instead, users will increasingly source their resources as a service from cloud computing providers. The Software Defined Data Center (SDDC) in the public cloud is a logical extension of this trend. Highly available, dynamically scalable virtual resources with needs-based delivery and use-based billing – not only cloud-computing providers, but also a growing number of system vendors, specialists, analysts and even market research institutes are convinced that the future belongs to Software Defined Data Center.
SDDC — abstraction of all data centre components

The cloud hosting provider delivers the control elements with which the user manages their own virtual data centre exclusively via software. Configuring a Software Defined Data Center does not require any laborious programming on the part of the network administrator, who instead becomes the user of an infrastructure that he or she does not have to physically operate.
IONOS developed a special Data Center Designer (DCD) for this purpose. It provides a graphical user interface that allows assembly and modification of all components within a virtual data centre. What’s more, resources needed for daily operations can be booked or disabled using a modern cloud API (REST).
