In order to compete more effectively, businesses are targeting greater flexibility within their data centers as a way to speed up time-to-market, drive down costs, and increase the value of their information. Over the past 15 years, the focus in IT has shifted to software as the way to achieve this flexibility, sparking a movement within the IT industry known as “Software-Defined.” Today, there is software-defined networking (SDN), software-defined storage (SDS) and even the software-defined data center (SDDC). But how do you know whether this approach is right for you?
