A township clerk says the city already has a software-defined data center because email was moved to a SaaS vendor. What distinction should the candidate draw?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Renting the city's mailbox is not the same as turning the civic data center into software. SaaS is someone else's app. An SDDC is how you virtualize compute, storage, and networking for the infrastructure you still run.
Full Explanation
An SDDC is a software-defined infrastructure model—virtualized compute, storage, and network services delivered by policy and APIs, on-premises or hybrid. Consuming one SaaS application does not virtualize the township's remaining fabric. SaaS email is neither NSX-T distributed firewall nor VMware's definition of an SDDC.
