Explore SDDC (Software Defined Data Center) certification and training courses — delivered live by certified instructors.
SDDC (Software Defined Data Center) is a unified infrastructure platform from VMware that virtualizes and integrates compute, storage, and networking resources into a single software-managed environment, enabling automated provisioning and centralized control. It forms the core of VMware Cloud Foundation, delivering a consistent hybrid cloud architecture across on-premises and public cloud deployments. The technology integrates key VMware components: VMware vSphere for virtualized compute, VMware vSAN for software-defined storage, and VMware NSX for network virtualization and security. VMware SDDC Manager serves as the central orchestration engine, automating deployment, lifecycle management, and monitoring of these components across workload domains. This technology is designed for data center architects, cloud administrators, and infrastructure engineers who require automated, policy-driven management of hybrid environments, enabling consistent operations, faster provisioning, and simplified compliance at scale.
