This practical text reference provides an exhaustive guide to setting up and sustaining
software-defined data centers (SDDCs). Each of the core elements and underlying technologies
are explained in detail often supported by real-world examples. The text illustrates how cloud
integration brokerage and orchestration can ensure optimal performance and usage of data
resources and what steps are required to secure each component in a SDDC. The coverage also
includes material on hybrid cloud concepts cloud-based data analytics cloud configuration
enterprise DevOps and code deployment tools and cloud software engineering.Topics and
features: highlights how technologies relating to cloud computing IoT blockchain and AI are
revolutionizing business transactions operations and analytics introduces the concept of
Cloud 2.0 in which software-defined computing storage and networking are applied to produce
next-generation cloud centers examines software-defined storage for storage virtualization
covering issues of cloud storage storage tiering and deduplication discusses
software-defined networking for network virtualization focusing on techniques for network
optimization in data centers reviews the qualities and benefits of hybrid clouds that bridge
