Software-defined IT infrastructure, including software-defined networking (SDN) and software-defined storage (SDS), grows critical to data center evolution in tandem with IT organizations’ requirements for efficiency, agility, productivity and cost effectiveness. With virtualization pervasive across data centers, emerging trends such as cloud, big data and open source create challenges for vendors that relied historically on proprietary hardware for the bulk of their revenue. Software-defined infrastructure will be a game-changer for enterprises that adopt it and vendors that deliver it.

TBR invites you to view our webinar which aired on June 24, 2015, to hear TBR Practice Manager and Principal Analyst Christian Perry and Senior Analyst Stanley Stevens share their perspective on how data center, cloud, virtualization, SDN, SDS and hardware commoditization impact software-defined infrastructure.

Questions for discussion included:

- What are the major drivers and customer adoption and purchasing trends in SDN and SDS?

- How are data center solution vendors evolving their business models, strategies and portfolios to capitalize on these trends and drivers?

- What are the biggest threats and opportunities created by SDN and SDS?

- How will SDN and SDS alter the data center vendor landscape?
