Traditional versus Software-Defined Data Centre
Traditional:
- Tight coupling between infrastructure and services
- Extensive proprietary and vertically integrated hardware
- Siloed infrastructure and operations
- Highly customized processes and configurations.
Software-Defined Datacenter:
- Loosely couple
- Commodity industry standard hardware
- Standarized deployments
- Lots of automation

Flexibility limited by hardware defined deployments. Blocks adoption of non-proprietary solutions that can offer more speed. Slower to deploy and change. Focus is on hardware, and not on services.
Battery dying …. I’ll update this article with photos later.
