The Transformation of Infrastructure

SOFTWARE-DEFINED

DATACENTER

All infrastructure is virtualized and delivered as a

service, and the control of this datacenter is

entirely automated by software.

Compute Virtualization

The Network is a Barrier to Software Defined Data Center

Any Physical Infrastructure

• Provisioning is slow

• Placement & Mobility is limited

• Operational visibility is limited

• Hardware dependent

• Operationally intensive

The Solution – Transform the Network with Virtualization

Compute Virtualization

• Programmatic provisioning

• Any workload anywhere

• End-to-end operational visibility

• Decoupled from hardware

• Operationally efficient
