• Workloads statically assigned to resources
manually
• IT Operations manually map the resources
to the application for software deployment
• Manual optimization and reconfiguration to
reactively address infrastructure issues
Traditional Environment Software Defined Environment
Software Defined Environments Advantages
• Workloads dynamically assigned
