The future for datacenters is clear. To meet the challenges of Cloud Computing, Big Data/Analytics, Mobility, and Social Media, they must handle far more data and storage, many more users — and far more applications — than ever before.

How can they meet all of these challenges without breaking the bank? The answer is software-defined infrastructure (SDI). Join us for SDI 2015 to hear how both enterprise datacenters and cloud datacenters are optimizing resources (compute, storage, and networking) on low-cost hardware to provide scaling as demand grows, and to offer real-time response to changes in demand. Typical datacenters have many low-cost servers and storage devices, all of which can be managed more efficiently with software-defined infrastructure. SDI 2015 It is the place for product developers across the data center to learn what they need to know about software-defined infrastructure.
