Life inside the datacenter is increasingly dynamic. Now a microcosm of data life in its own right, the rise of software-defined everything (increasingly written as SDX) means we start using terms like ‘server-side’ more often. These are the mechanical workings of the cloud, these are the back-end services that drive your tablet and these are the back-office technologies that even the CEO has to take notice of, hopefully.
Adoption of software-defined datacenter architecture means ‘traditional’ network hardware appliances give way to software-based intelligence that ‘describes’ virtual machines (and their form and function) in terms of what they do to our data. Cloud security automation firm HyTrust says that as organizations have increasingly virtualized their infrastructure, server-to-server traffic has grown to represent as much as 80% of overall datacenter traffic.
