In part one of this blog, I discussed the key solution components of the software-defined data center and the evolution that enables business agility, operational maturity, and automation. In part two, we will take a deeper look at each area of the SDDC that support the growing trends of agile software development and factory-like manufacturing, as well as the eventual automation of software development - all in support of the emerging DevOps space, where the SDDC will be a required component system, dynamically determining where and how to host the developed applications.
