Ed Goldman, CTO of the Enterprise Datacenter Group at Intel discusses the SDI Maturity Model that Intel is using to help enable enterprises lay the groundwork to move their data centers to a Software Defined Infrastructure (SDI). Ed explains that the SDI Enterprise Maturity Model has five stages in the progression from traditional hard-wired architecture to SDI and how Intel is providing intelligence in the hardware platforms that include security, workload acceleration, and intelligent resource orchestration that help data centers become more enabled for SDI.
