SDDC versus HDDC
We have covered SDDCs to a certain depth. We can now summarize the key differences between a physical data center and a virtual one. To highlight the differences, we're assuming in this comparison that the physical data center is zero-percent virtualized and the virtual data center is 100-percent virtualized. For the virtual data center, we're assuming you have also adjusted your operation method, because operating a virtual data center with a physical operation mindset results in a lot of frustration and suboptimal virtualization. This means that your processes and organizational chart have been adapted to a virtual data center.
