consists of fully virtualised compute, networking, storage and other resources
are abstracted away from the underlying physical infrastructure through software,
such as Software Defined Data Centre. This allows policy-based infrastructure
provisioning and enables IT automation. Software-defined infrastructure is not
tied to specific hardware and can operate without or with little human
involvement. This paradigm fully integrated and automated IT functions and
resources. Software Defined Data Centre combines can be a result of a
combination of all software defined technologies, such as SDN, SDStore,
SDCompute, SDSec etc, otherwise called Software Defined Everything. Cloud
computing is one major factor driving the growth of software defined
everything.<span></span></span></p>
