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>
