Information availability in a modern data center environment is defined by three key parameters: Reliability, Accessibility, and Timeliness.

• Reliability refers to the system's ability to function correctly and consistently over time.
• Accessibility ensures that the data is available when needed.
• Timeliness means the data can be retrieved and used within the required time frame.

A software-defined data center (SDDC) is an architecture that extends virtualization concepts such as abstraction, pooling, and automation to all of the data center's resources and services. In an SDDC, IT resource components like computing, networking, storage, and security are all virtualized, except for the commodity hardware used to create resource pools. This virtualized environment enables more efficient resource management and scalability.

FCIP (Fibre Channel over IP) is utilized to interconnect Fibre Channel SANs over long distances. This technology encapsulates Fibre Channel frames into IP packets, allowing them to be transmitted over IP networks. It is particularly useful for interconnecting local and remote FC SANs over distances greater than 200 km, providing a cost-effective solution for SAN extension.References:
