A virtual data centre (VDC) is an abstraction of physical IT components that are designed to meet the requirements of business of businesses. With the help of virtualization technology, a VDC provides the same computing, storage, networking, and data access capabilities as traditional IT infrastructure, but also reduces costs in terms of complexity, complexity, and maintenance, while increasing the speed and agility of.
Virtualization allows faster provisioning of hardware and scaling on demand to accommodate business growth. It also supports agile software development practices and DevOps practices, making it a perfect fit for modern IT architecture. It also lowers IT support and labor costs, which allows companies to invest more on innovation.
VDCs are built on-premises in a central location (private cloud) or hosted by third party providers who offer cloud solutions to many companies at a time (public cloud). In either case, the virtualization of the platform can reduce operating and maintenance costs.
The hardware needed to create and deploy a VDC can be purchased from an individual vendor or leased through an IT managed services provider. It’s often referred to as hyperconverged infrastructure, or HCI, as it combines storage, compute, and networking equipment into one system that runs on software and is able to scale up or down.
A VDC can be run on a variety of operating systems, including Linux, Windows, and VMware. It is possible to deploy it in a hub-and-spoke design, with the core infrastructure being in the hub and applications and workloads in spokes. This type of architecture is a perfect match for the roles and the responsibilities of a business. It also reduces expenses through centralization of components and data flows and also a simpler operation managing and compliance.
