If knowledge has begun to increase in quantity and variety, brand new terms are also derived on the newly formed field, themes and subjects. On the other hand, the first rule of being understandable is to navigate through well-defined words and terms that are well defined and understood in the same or similar way while explaining, explaining or interpreting.
Definitions
Systems that are controlled by advanced programs and configured in a virtual environment — as opposed to physical ones — are called “Everything Software Defined”. This concept gathers many technologies developing in the field of informatics under the same roof. We can count two of these new concepts commonly used as "Software Defined Network" and "Software Defined Data Center". The concept of software-defined network refers to virtual networks in which physical hardware is replaced by a highly qualified software system and their creation. Software defined data center is about using virtual techniques to create a data center. Another similar use has been developed for information storage systems. The concept of "Software Defined Data Storage" is related to the replacement of physical distributed storage hardware with virtual storage systems.
The term "Software Defined Everything" is an idea that gathers applications related to new technologies, especially informatics, under one roof. In the new technological (software oriented) literature this concept is described as the "next big thing". Under this heading, a main operating system will have the opportunity to run other operating systems. Virtual cognitive machines and virtual storage environments will carry computing tasks (where hardware has become invisible) that were done directly using hardware in the past.
Software
When we talk about computer systems or informatics, we say that it consists of two main elements as hardware and software. As opposed to physical hardware, we define software as intangible and abstract elements that are the product of human thought (programming languages, operating systems, programs, methods, techniques, documents, etc.).
More generally speaking, software is the codified form of human experience. Software is a way of doing business that turns know-how into reusable generalized and abstracted. The nutty result coming out of these confused looking descriptions; It is that a business's willingness to invest in software is actually an attempt to increase its own skills, abilities, and competencies and its productivity.
Today's business opportunities are found in the ecosystem that surrounds a business. However, the evaluation of these opportunities will be made thanks to the skills, abilities and competencies and efficiency available within the business. Since software contributes to the improvement and development of these, the profitability, efficiency and growth success of the modern enterprise is also related to the software technology.
We watch how developments in the software field are changing the products used on a daily basis. Software is embedded in many areas from cars to refrigerators, from mobile phones to televisions. Soon there will be no products or items that do not contain embedded software and are not connected to the electronic world via the Internet. This framework states that, for example, the proportion and weight of the software and automation element in machine production will increase. In the near future, there will be no more machinery that could be secretly photographed and copied at an international fair. Because the real power of the machine on display will come from the software embedded in it. The term "Everything Software Defined" describes this kind of world outlined. Businesses that want to be competitive, permanent and sustainable need to take this fact into consideration.
Technologies
The development of information technology (IT) and related fields in recent years has become more data and software oriented. Depending on the development in sensor (data collection) technologies, making big data, analytics and IT products and services more widely consumable are among the trends we follow. One of the most spoken people in the field of IT in the last year was “Software Defined Everything”, which is abbreviated as SDE in English industry jargon.
In the process that started with the production of personal computers in the 1980s, the subject of hardware was ahead of the software for a long time. In terms of technological development, until the 1990s, the developments in software were not effective enough to create an appearance of change. The period that started with the last decade of the 20th century witnessed the rise of software. Although there have been important developments in the field of hardware, now the software has adapted very quickly and easily. In fact, software needs have become the driving force for the development of new hardware elements. Software tools and solutions that were developed eventually began to replace some of the solutions previously handled with hardware. For this reason, one of the trends in the field of IT is called "Everything Software Defined", meaning the overlying roof.
Covering Roof
“Everything Software Defined (let's abbreviate it as YTH)” is a umbrella name used to gather software defined information technologies under a single heading. YTH provides dynamism to the relevant system and has a cost-reducing effect by realizing the automation that can be provided by hardware with software. Under this umbrella name, services such as network, storage, data center and running multiple operating systems are in the first place within the framework of virtualization and service provision.
In recent years, the term "as-a-service", which we can translate as "as a service", has been used frequently in the field of IT. For example, "software as a service (SaaS)" or "platform as a service (Paas)" with the same business style logic in cloud computing are among the most frequently used ones for the use of software through subscription without purchasing the software. A new term was coined as "infrastructure as a service (IaaS)" as the software fulfills the hardware requirements more. A person who connects to a data center with any operating system has the opportunity to operate the program, store data and perform network operations thanks to the very compatible platform there in return for his subscription.
Virtualization
“Everything Software Based (YTH)” does this by virtualizing it while providing hardware service to users. We can explain hardware virtualization with an example. You have a physical backup disk attached to your computer and you back up your files by transferring them there. On the other hand, you can do the backup job somewhere on the Internet. You don't know where, under what operating system, and in what physical form this location is. You send your backup, it goes, you want it back, it comes to you. The storage facility in the internet environment offers you virtual disk service instead of your physical disk. You have to pay (may be required) a certain subscription fee for this service. After all, instead of purchasing a physical disk, you can satisfy your needs by getting a virtual disk service from the Internet. Technological services within the scope of YTH contain the essence exemplified here.
Let's develop the example. The virtual disk you buy online is never full because such physical hardware requirements are taken care of by the company that takes care of it. The virtual disk you use never gets old, it is not out of date because the company providing YTH service fulfills its requirements. The YTH service provider always has the opportunity to experience new IT architectures and applications, as it constantly renews its existing technology. You will not have much problems with network performance and security issues with the YTH virtual service you receive, because the service provider will be solving them.
Developments in IT technologies will continue to change the daily life and business world. YTH is one of the examples of this.
