What is a Virtual Data Center?

A virtual data centre (VDC) is an abstraction of physical IT components that are designed to meet the requirements of business of companies. Utilizing virtualization technology, VDCs VDC provides the same compute, storage, networking, and data access capabilities as traditional IT infrastructure, but it reduces costs, complexity, and maintenance, thereby increasing agility.

Virtualization enables faster hardware provisioning, and scaling on demand to handle the growth of businesses. It facilitates agile software development and DevOps practices, making it a perfect fit for modern IT architecture. It also lowers IT cost of support and labor, allowing the company to invest more money in innovation.

VDCs can be built on-premises in a central location (private cloud) or hosted by third-party providers that offer cloud-based services to many businesses at once (public cloud). Virtualization can lower operational and maintenance costs in either case.

The hardware needed to build and install a VDC can be purchased from the vendor or leased by an IT managed service provider. It’s sometimes referred to as hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) because it blends storage, computing and network equipment into a system that runs on a software platform and can scale up and down.

A VDC can be run on a variety of operating systems such as Linux, Windows, and VMware. It can be implemented as a hub-and-spoke network design, with the basic infrastructure located in the hub and applications and workloads placed in spokes. This architecture matches the structure of corporate roles and responsibilities, while providing lower costs by utilizing components and data flow centralization, as well as more efficient management, operations and compliance.
