Huawei FusionSphereOptimize Business with Data Center Virtualization

Data center virtualization allows multiple virtual machines

(VMs) and applications to run on one physical server. This

technology decouples the services from IT hardware resources

and changes the traditional stove-pipe IT structure in which

one application occupies one physical server.

According to Forrester's research report on virtualization,

more than 50% of x86 servers have been virtualized and this

figure will increase up to 80% in the near future. Data center

virtualization helps enterprises improve IT resource utilization

efficiency enormously, dynamically allocate resources, and

accelerate service provisioning. Statistics show that the average

total cost of ownership (TCO) of IT resources decreases by 47%

and resource utilization increases by 56% after enterprises

adopt virtualization technology.

Data Center Virtualization Improves IT Efficiency and the Value of Existing IT Assets

Data center virtualization, based on server virtualization,

virtualizes physical resources, integrates software, and builds

virtual resource pools for computing and storage. Virtualizing

the data center therefore improves management and resource

scheduling, allowing advanced functions such as flexible

resource scaling and live migration.

In addition, data center virtualization offers new ways to achieve

disaster recovery for services and data protection for both the

virtualization layer and the service layer. With this technology,

enterprises and carriers can schedule resources across data

centers and smoothly support continued development of

services.

Proven Success

Huawei FusionSphere has served customers in 42 countries and regions around the globe, covering fields ranging from government

and public utilities to telecommunications, energy, finance, transportation, health care, education, media, manufacturing and other

industries. FusionSphere helps customers integrate and optimize their data centers and service platforms, improving system reliability

and IT efficiency.

Secure, reliable services

FusionSphere provides high availability and metropolitan area active-active disaster recovery (DR). These capabilities enable IT services that run on the FusionSphere platform to be backed up and recovered in the event of a disaster. Live migration allows the system to be upgraded or maintained without service interruption.

The exclusive functions of Health Advisor and Operation Recorder are able to provide operator early warning service and fast fault positioning on system exception.

Easy and effective operation

System operation is the key element that determines the virtualization system utilization

efficiency for enterprise cloud computing. Huawei FusionSphere provides visual templates

that allow customers to create virtual data centers, simplifying cloud computing operations.

FusionSphere's open and integrated platform provides Huawei's extended application

programming interfaces (APIs). FusionSphere also supports the OpenStack APIs, allowing

customers to quickly deploy on-demand cloud services.

Cost-effective virtualization

FusionSphere has proven to be among the most cost-effective virtualization platforms available today. FusionSphere employs a bare-metal virtualization engine that consumes less than 5% of physical CPU resources, yet this engine improves server utilization up to 80% and reduces costs for IT infrastructure deployment by 30%.

FusionSphere provides visual application templates to implement one-click application deployment and highly effective operation and maintenance (O&M). In addition, FusionSphere licenses are charged only by the number of physical CPUs the services use, and not counting any other in-use physical resources.

FusionCompute, the virtualization engine:

FusionCompute virtualizes servers, storage, and network resources and integrates them as an elastic IT resource pool. FusionCompute hides the differences between the underlying hardware from services and implements automatic virtual resource scheduling and management. FusionCompute supports VxLAN networking and storage QoS control and also provides a variety of cloud infrastructure services and open O&M APIs, simplifying IT service virtualization for carriers and enterprises. While improving IT resource utilization efficiency, FusionCompute accelerates service provisioning.

The software architecture is as follows:

FusionManager, the cloud management node:

FusionManager enables customers to manage virtualized resources in a unified way with functions such as service catalogs, automatic resource provisioning, and automatic service deployment. FusionManager can manage 3rd party virtualization platforms such as vSphere and XenServer, allows customers to schedule and manage virtualized resources using one interface, improving O&M efficiency. FusionManager also ensures system security and reliability, helping carriers and enterprises implement secure, and low-power cloud data centers.

The software architecture is as follows:

Huawei FusionSphere supports the industry's highest system capacity, provides industry-leading performance, and can be applied to a variety of service deployment scenarios for carriers and enterprises. Table 1-1 lists the performance specifications for FusionSphere.

With headquarters in Guangzhou, Sinotrans is the largest provider of integrated logistics services in China. The company

used the Huawei FusionCloud DataCenter Virtualization Solution to migrate more than 40 production service systems

and 200 physical servers to the Huawei virtualization platform. These resources included services that Sinotrans already

had running on the VMware virtualization platform. All of Siniotrans' resources can now be scheduled and managed in a

unified way.

Huawei Fusionphere includes a disaster recovery scheme that has two active-active recovery centers and one backup

center, significantly improving the reliability of data and applications.

FusionSphere has helped Sinotrans improve its resource utilization efficiency from 20% to 70%. Additionally, FusionSphere

dramatically reduced service rollout time from several months to three weeks or less.

Success Stories

Fujian Administration for Industry and Commerce: Huawei cloud computing and government affairs virtualization

The Administration for Industry and Commerce of Fujian is the provincial agency responsible for market supervision and

management. The administration has 511 branches throughout the province. Huawei helped the administration build

a cloud data center that includes two local disaster recovery centers in Fuzhou city and an inter-city backup center in

Sanming city.

Based on FusionSphere, Huawei deployed virtual desktops and separated the administration's external and internal

networks on the service platform. With resource virtualization and unified resource scheduling, the solution greatly

improves the administration's efficiency. Compared with the budget for service platform construction without

virtualization, this project reduces by 30% of the construction cost for the Fujian Administration for Industry and

Commerce.

Sichuan Telecom: Help carrier transform to ICT Services

Telecommunication services have gone global with cloud computing, intelligent pipes, and mobile Internet, requiring

more telecom companies to focus on information and communication technology (ICT) services for enterprises. In 2011,

Sichuan Telecom launched the Cloud Sea project to develop its ICT services. This project uses Huawei FusionSphere, which

integrates all existing infrastructure as one cloud computing resource pool, thereby enabling Sichuan Telecom to provide

cloud desktops to internal employees, integrate the service platform, and provide Virtual Private Server (VPS) services to

external customers.

This project helped Sichuan Telecom increase its server utilization efficiency from 15% to 85%, and shorten service rollout

time by 80%. All resources can be shared and managed in a unified way, while reducing power consumption significantly.
