Editor's Note
An article last month written by Vaughn Stewart explained how NetApp and the clustered Data ONTAP® operating system are breaking new ground on the path to software-defined storage (SDS).  This month, we expand on that topic  with "Nondisruptive Operations with Data ONTAP" and "Software-Defined Data Center." We discuss how the emerging trend of the software-defined data center (SDDC) can help you deliver services faster to your users and what you need to do to get ready for it. 

When you find an article useful to you, be generous: Share it with your colleagues and peers.  We  added five sharing icons to each article.  Give them a try.

Compute, networking, and storage have to be defined and managed in software to create a data center that’s fully automated, policy enforced, and application driven.

The key to success is choosing infrastructure with the necessary level of manageability and programmability. Find out which capabilities you need, see if your infrastructure measures up, and learn why a converged infrastructure—especially the FlexPod® platform—may be the optimum choice.
