What is a Software Defined Data Center? Extending Converged Infrastructure

Software Defined Data Center:

All infrastructure is virtualized and delivered

as a service, and the control of this data center

is entirely automated by software

Includes a programmable interface that creates a

unified view across the data center to deliver

dynamic and rapid deployment of traditional and cloud

applications, providing the agility businesses need to

respond to change and new market opportunities

Management is key to SDDC


A fresh approach to infrastructure lifecycle management

HP OneView

Tasks accomplished in seconds not

minutes • Simple, consumer-inspired user experience dramatically

accelerates basic tasks and everyday processes

Processes executed in minutes not

hours • Software-defined management provides fast

repeatable IT delivery at lower cost with less errors

Projects completed in hours not months • Extensible, programmable platform to optimize your

operations and project execution


Software-defined process templates Push-button provisioning and precision to eliminate errors and manual steps

• Built-in best practices reduces

human error

• Repeatedly reduces time to

infrastructure

• Role based collaboration makes

processes serial

• Delivers compliance and

consistency

Infrastructure, workload, network set, firmware


Extensible, programmable management platform

CloudSystem

Storage Server Network

4 API command sets,

infinite possibilities

• APIs built with modern RESTful

interfaces – the language of the web

• Automate any step or process,

integrate with any device or tool

• Program processes to run in parallel

to drastically reduce project times

• UI is built on the same API’s,

anything done through the UI

can be done via API

SDDC recommendations


• Realization that we need a plan for Technology, People, Process & Governance

Need a plan: HP has Consultants and Workshops to assist you today!

• The term SDDC is relatively new but infrastructure leaders generally understand

or can guess what this implies but how do we get there?

Need education: HP has Training, SMEs and Transformational Workshops to help

• Scepticism that one company can do server, storage and network equally well.

Need expertise: HP is unique in that it has IP and expertise in all these areas. Get

started today with a POC in one of the areas of Software Defined Infrastructure

• Buy-in on the concept will require cross-silo strategy, collaboration and governance

Need collaboration: HP can help you deliver SDDC workshops for your team

SDDC Considerations & Recommendations


Comprehensive portfolio/strategy and ecosystem

• 3 methods of control are converging to deliver a new level of business agility to IT

• Emphasis on the customer experience and ecosystem that builds on HP’s Converged Infrastructure

• Strong services credibility to deploy SDDC solutions on-premise, cloud and/or as a managed service

Open, common platform across the data center

• Industry standard foundations such as OpenStack and Openflow enables heterogeneity from

hypervisors to hardware

• Support heterogeneous stacks from VMware, MS & Red Hat

• Creates a common foundation for HP’s “New Style of IT” for Cloud, Big Data, Security and Mobility

Unique innovation

• Software-defined data center technologies and IP to “unlock” key hardware capabilities that improve

insight, control, speed, optimization and uptime

• SDDC will further “simplify and align IT to the speed of the business”
