Egeon: Software-Defined Data Protection for Object Storage

“…Privacy Plane. The privacy plane in EGEON corresponds to the control plane of a software-defined architecture [13], [14], but specialized for data protection. In practice, this means that EGEON provides its own script language to assist data owner in composing data protection services from elementary serverless functions in the data plane.…”

Software-Defined Cloud Computing: A Systematic Review on Latest Trends and Developments

“…Transforming conventional DCs to SDDCs can be realized by adopting a test and trial transformation procedure. A pure SDE insists on a single point of control and orchestration for cloud based services and applications [42]. This helps in an easy management and administration of DC management function.…”

“…The IBM SmartCloud Orchestrator is a practical implementation of SDE [42], [43]. It facilitates existing cloud infrastructures to follow limited software-defined concepts using APIs.…”

“…They also reduce the number of steps involved in managing public, private and hybrid cloud services by using a centralized easy-to-use interface. A comparison between the traditional approaches and SDE supported features is provided in [42], [43].…”

“…10. Power management models: Power management techniques for reducing DC energy consumption can deliver significant opportunities for operational cost savings and other business values [38], [42], [74]. In many areas, energy reduction initiatives can actually be used for generating revenue.…”
