A little while back, I had the opportunity to sit down with Frank Ohlhorst, Contributing Editor of Penton Technology for a Fast Chat where we discussed the value of converged systems to partners. View the video below or check out the original posting on the VAR Guy here.
Many industry experts consider the software-defined data center (SDDC) to be the data center of the future because it enables a service-centric approach to provisioning IT resources and managing applications. According to one recent report, the market will grow at a compound annual rate of 28.8% between 2015 and 2020, reaching nearly $80 billion by the end of that period.1
Ever wonder what a complex process, such as building a Cisco IBM VersaStack™ converged system looks like? Traditionally, partners unbox more than 150 individual pieces and manually test each part, one-by-one. Avnet's integration services takes the complexity and risk out of the equation and gives partners the time and flexibility to focus on other business-critical activities.
For many customers, the Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) is more about the future than the present. But, as we know with technology, the future comes upon us very quickly and it's sometimes hard to predict if a technology movement will actually stick. So, is everyone really moving to the Software-Defined Data Center or is it just hype?

Since it had been years since I’d felt the distinctive crinkle of jumping into one of these things, the 10-year-old-kid in me was on cloud nine. From my legume-filled perch, I was regaled by all the wonders that constituted EMC World 2015.
