Software-Defined Data Centers (SDDC)

Software-Defined Data Centers are products or solutions that allow their users to consume dynamic compute, storage and network resources controlled through an API-driven orchestration system. Well-known products in this category include OpenStack, VMware NSX and Cisco ACI.

ipSpace.net content will help you understand the networking-related SDDC technologies and architectures.
