Abstract
Data Center is the most progressive form of providing computing resources when it is necessary to provide services to a wide range of users. The paper discusses one of the approaches to the creation of a data center - the concept of software-defined infrastructure. Software-defined is such a data center infrastructure, in which all its key elements - computing resources, network, data storage systems, etc. - are virtualized and provided to users as services with a given quality. It is shown that the implementation of the proposed infrastructure allows each user to productively solve their tasks in a reasonable time with an acceptable level of costs. The paper formulates the general requirements for inter-departmental data processing centers, proposes methods for creating software-defined data center (deployment of computing platforms that maximize hardware reuse, provide support for the execution of programs of different classes of tasks, etc.) and describes the implementation of infrastructures of this class in specific projects.
