Building the Software-Defined Data Center

Data center is the most effective way of providing computational resources to a large number of users. The software-defined model is a modern approach to the creation of the computing infrastructure for the data center, which allows user tasks to be processed in acceptable time and at acceptable cost. This paper formulates the general design requirements for the interagency data center and describes some problems and methods of planning and building software-defined data centers (deployment of computing systems optimized for maximum hardware utilization, software support for different classes of tasks, etc.).
