This presentation discusses the concept of a software-defined data center (SDDC) and its benefits. An SDDC virtualizes and automates all infrastructure, delivering it as a service. This ideal architecture can be used for private, hybrid, and public clouds. An SDDC can dramatically accelerate innovation, reduce costs, streamline operations, improve security and control, and deliver better IT outcomes. The presentation then introduces a panel of representatives from various organizations discussing their SDDC experiences. Attendees are polled to vote for the best SDDC.
