The pressure to reduce costs is driving companies to use both virtualization and cloud computing, along with alternative approaches to delivering IT services, such as Software Defined Data Centers (SDDCs) and Software Defined Networking (SDN).

This white paper, written by industry expert Dr. Jim Metzler, is part of a series of papers and webinars describing how IT organizations can go to an operational model that is highly automated and software centric. It describes the limitations of the current IT approach, also discussing some of the factors that are forcing IT organizations to adopt a new operational model.
