Maak kennis met onze visie op de transformatie van het datacenter. BigTec helpt u met een eigen referentiearchitectuur: een 'solution stack’ met 'best-of-breed’ oplossingen, gebruikmakend van Software Defined Webscale technologieën. Door in deze referentiearchitectuur oplossingen van o.a. Nutanix, Rubrik, VMTurbo en AVI Networks toe te passen, ontstaat een fundamentele basis voor het Software Defined Data Centre.

1. Discussing Strategies for Building the Next Generation Data Centre
Adri Zandee - BigTec

2. Discussing strategies for building the Next Generation Data Centre
Virtualisation has revolutionised the design and architecture of the modern DC, it provides the
efficiency, agility and flexibility to meet the demands of today’s dynamic enterprises. As the
industry moves towards a “Software Defined” future, how does this really enable the “Cloud”
type experience for the private Data Centre?

3. Gartner Says the Future of the Data Center Is Software-Defined
“… An SDDC is a data center in which all the infrastructure is virtualized and delivered
"as-a-service." This enables increased levels of automation and flexibility that will
underpin business agility through the increased adoption of cloud services and enable
modern IT approaches such as DevOps…”
“…By 2020 Gartner predicts the programmatic capabilities of an SDDC will be considered a
requirement for 75 percent of Global 2000 enterprises that seek to implement a DevOps
approach and a hybrid cloud model.”

4. How the next generation data centre will evolve.

… incorporate the software
defined technologies (SDx)...
… wont care which
hypervisor, storage layer or
server platform you’re
running ...
… management console now
integrates into APIs ...
… workflow automation and
orchestration services ...

43. 1. Focus on what is important
Agility? Security? Simplicity? Control?
2. Does your existing infrastructure exhibit the
attributes we have discussed for these?
3. Do you intend to deliver this solution in one
go?
The Solution Stack can be delivered as a
single deliverable … but it can be deployed
in a piecemeal fashion
4. Where will you get most benefit from?
5. Implementing a Software Based Data Centre is
a journey
