A virtual data center is a pool of Cloud-hosted infrastructure resources that includes compute, memory and storage. Virtual Data Center as a Service (vDCaaS) makes these resources available in a simplified way and provides software defined datacenter services as complete datacenters that are ready for consumption in a matter of minutes. It applies the principles of pooling, abstraction and automation to enable the provision of complete and operational ready infrastructure without worrying about the physical configuration of the hardware.
