A Software-Defined Datacenter (SDDC) architecture enables a fully automated, zero-downtime infrastructure for any application and any hardware, now and in the future. SDDC uses virtualization technologies so all infrastructure services become as inexpensive and easy to provision and manage as virtual machines.
By virtualizing a Datacenter, all of the resources of the system – including computing, storage, and networking – can be “abstracted” and represented in a software form.

If you answered yes to any of these questions, introducing a Software-Defined Data Center would greatly benefit your organization.
In a software-defined datacenter, policy-driven automation enables provisioning and ongoing management of logical compute, storage and network services resulting in unprecedented agility and efficiency, with flexibility to support hardware and applications for today and tomorrow. Benefits include:
SDDC technology helps attain new levels of infrastructure utilization and staff productivity, substantially reducing capital expenditures and operating costs.
Enabling deployment of applications in minutes or even seconds with policy-driven provisioning that dynamically matches resources to continually changing workloads and business demands.
Driving right availability, security and compliance for every application via automated business continuity, policy-based governance and virtualization-aware security and compliance.
SDDC can be leveraged as a private, hybrid or public cloud with infrastructure fully abstracted from applications, so they can run on multiple hardware stacks, hypervisors and clouds.
There are six major SDDC building blocks that Ergo can assist you with:
Network virtualization combines network resources by splitting the available bandwidth into independent channels that can each be assigned/reassigned to a particular server/device in real time.
Server virtualization masks server resources, including the number and identity of individual physical servers, processors and operating systems, from server users. The intention is to spare users from managing complicated server-resource details. It also increases resource sharing and utilization, while maintaining the ability to expand capacity at a later date.
Ensures uptime with Performance, Health & capacity monitoring of your entire Hybrid cloud environment. Moving from a reactive monitoring tool to a proactive management tool that utilizes predictive analytics to identify potential capacity or performance issues in your SDDC.
Storage virtualization pools physical storage from multiple network storage devices into what appears to be a single storage device managed from a central console.
Provides a self-service catalog for all IT services, from single micro-services, up to multi-machine application and infrastructure blueprints. These blueprints can be delivered consistently, embedding security policy, and deployed to on-prem or public cloud environments with 3rd party integrations and approval workflows.
Allows organizations to provide IT as a service to multiple cost centers and subsidiaries with a showback or chargeback model to ensure costs are accurately tracked and managed.
