Server consolidation reduced physical complexity, increased operational efficiency and the ability to dynamically repurpose underlying resources to quickly and optimally meet the needs of increasingly dynamic business applications. VMware’s Software Defined Data Center (SDDC) architecture is now extending virtualization technologies across the entire physical data center infrastructure.
