Louisiana Moves the State’s IT Infrastructure to Software-Defined
sdxcentral | August 18, 2017
The State of Louisiana Office of Technology Services is modernizing its infrastructure, moving to a software-defined data center (SDDC) model. Michael Dell persuaded the state to choose Dell hardware for its project. Louisiana technology executives said VMware’s NSX has been the “glue” to pull it all together. The work is being done via the Louisiana Enterprise Architecture Project, which began in 2014. IT executives are working to modernize and standardize IT services across the state’s 16 government agencies. They’re updating two data centers in Baton Rouge.
