A virtual data centre (VDC) is an abstraction of physical IT components that are designed to meet the requirements of business of enterprises. By using virtualization technologies, it is a VDC provides the same compute, storage, networking, and data access capabilities as traditional IT infrastructure, but reduces costs complexity, complexity, and maintenance, while enhancing efficiency.
Virtualization enables faster hardware provisioning and on-demand scaling to accommodate the growth of businesses. It also facilitates agile software development practices and DevOps practices, making it a perfect fit for modern IT architecture. It also reduces IT labor and support costs which allows companies to spend more on innovation.
VDCs can be developed on-premise in an centralized physical location (private cloud) or hosted by a third party which offers cloud solutions to multiple companies simultaneously (public cloud). Virtualization can lower the costs of operation and maintenance in both cases.
Physical hardware required for building and deploying a VDC is available from a variety of vendors or can be leased by an IT managed service provider. It’s usually referred to hyperconverged infrastructure, also known as HCI, because it combines compute, storage and networking equipment into a single system that runs on software and can scale up or down.
A VDC can be run on various operating systems such as Linux, Windows, and VMware. It is possible to deploy it as a hub-and-spoke network design, with the main infrastructure in the hub, and applications and workloads in spokes. This design is a great match for the roles and obligations of a company. It also provides reduced costs due to centralization of components and data flows as well as streamlined operations, management and compliance.
