    Virtual Data Center (VDC) Project

    The 2014 Virtual Data Center (VDC) The project involved creating and managing a virtualized computing environment that emulated the resources and functionalities of a physical data center.

    The Virtual Data Center (VDC) is a pool of cloud infrastructure resources designed for enterprise use, typically encompassing compute, storage, and network resources. These resources are abstracted and delivered through virtualization technology, allowing for flexible and scalable deployment of applications and services.

    Key Components of the VDC project. The Early Days - www.virtualdatacentre.co.za
