When he described Facebook’s operating philosophy as “move fast with a stable infrastructure”, Mark Zuckerberg could have been defining the template for today’s most successful and prosperous enterprises.
First in the market from Atos, the Digital Data Center (DDC) virtualizes all components of enterprise IT, automating processes and allocating pooled resources on-demand. The result is a streamlined data center to help keep pace with the ever-rising expectations on IT, reducing overall cost and maximizing efficiency and security.

So what is a DDC or Digital Data Center? It’s Atos’ answer to CIOs and CFOs prayers. Why?
Despite a recent wave of new technologies, lots of the CIOs and CFOs we work with have still been struggling to deliver real business speed, agility and cost-efficiency.
The business demands ever increasing IT responsiveness and decreasing costs. The Atos Digital Data Center (DDC) is our evolutionary answer: a flexible new service model for Data Center management.
It delivers an end-to-end software-defined data center approach that goes beyond server virtualization to virtualize the network, storage, compute, firewall and load balancing.
‘Intelligence’ moves out of physical devices into a new over-arching software infrastructure layer.
Atos is the only technology provider taking a software defined approach from promise to practice — via our comprehensive three stage consult, transform and operate model, supported by robust SLAs.
And best of all, it’s for a simple flat monthly fee which reduces spiralling infrastructure TCO.
The DDC’s software-based technology stack is powered by VMware: the market leader in virtualization technology and a long term strategic partner of Atos.
