Cloud computing accelerates software definition data center grows strong in China market

ICT is fast driving the integration of traditional it and CT technology with the market. The market for ICT is expected to be $ trillion by 2020. From the IT architecture, ICT drives the rapid evolution of it architectures from T2 to T3. In this evolution, the software definition data center becomes the cornerstone Technology of data center standardization, simplifies the deployment management process of it in heterogeneous environment, and enables users to dynamically and automatically configure and manage resources according to SLA requirements. For it vendors, software definition Data Center (SDDC) greatly reduces the difficulty of traditional device layer technology development, and improves the management and efficiency of resource deployment based on workload. The Software definition data center will quickly change the traditional it market pattern.

It architecture has evolved over the past three generations:

It evolution three phases three phases it architecture features

T1 Host and Terminal connection

T2 Server and Terminal connection

T3 Cloud computing connects to mobile terminals

In the development process of T1 to T2, the open platform replaces the traditional big machine close technology, reduces the user it entry threshold and the cost at the same time, a large number of it vendors based on open platform rise rapidly, promote the rapid popularization of it. In the transition from T1 to T2, the open platform has become a big machine, driving the rapid popularization of it, which is used and affordable by a handful of industries, such as banking and telecommunications. In the development process of T2 to T3, software definition data center becomes the most important milestone technology to trigger T2 to T3 platform, so that more and more users can quickly deploy and manage cloud computing according to business requirements. Through the IT architecture to decouple the hardware layer, further promote the commercialization of IT hardware technology, triggering a growing number of low-end it hardware vendors through the software Definition data center to provide "Cloud-in-a-box", while reducing user hardware costs, but also exacerbated the IT hardware price war.

The Software definition Data center is just getting started. From the technical composition, including software definition calculation, software definition network, software definition storage. Software definition data centers enable load migration and automated transparent management across physical data centers, private clouds, and public clouds, with the primary goal of flattening it architecture technology and standardizing and automating it process management.

Chinese users have realised the importance of software definitions for cloud computing and mobile application deployments, according to a survey conducted by the China Bridge survey in 2014 for cloud computing and mobile application development. At present, users have quickly put "software definition storage" as an important consideration for evaluating storage technology choices. At the same time, how to define the network through software to reduce the network expenditure and management intensity in the process of virtualization and cloud computing deployment, guarantee the business security and continuity of the IT evolution process from the network layer, and promote the acceptance speed of software definition network in Chinese market.

Combined with the research data and market analysis of the bridge, Wang Cong, chief analyst of China Bridge, believes that in the next 24 months, the software definition storage and software definition network will have strong growth in the Chinese market. As cloud computing and T3 platforms quickly become the focus of ICT strategy for Chinese users, this will drive a strong growth in the software definition data center in the Chinese market. With the development of software definition Data center technology and the rapid accumulation of experience, it not only reduces the difficulty of local manufacturers in IT technology, reduces the entry threshold of cloud computing service providers and cloud computing integrators, but also reduces the value of traditional high-end hardware subdivision advantages, triggers hardware commercialization and intensifies hardware market competition.
