Industry Overview

Digital transformation is profoundly impacting businesses, and in the face of increasing demands on data centers in terms of performance, agility, and total cost of ownership due to business digitalization, internet connectivity, and intelligence requirements, traditional data centers are struggling to keep up. Completing the modernization of data centers through "cloudification" to support business innovation has become a consensus within the industry.

However, for many enterprises, due to factors such as data security, regulatory compliance, and costs, it is not feasible to deploy and run all operations in public clouds. Some critical operations must be run internally, while also requiring the agility and elasticity of public clouds. Hence, private clouds have emerged.

The IaaS layer is the core and fundamental component of private clouds, and it is where enterprises should begin their IT cloudification journey. Hyper-convergence provides the IaaS layer with a distributed architecture and software-defined properties, offering cloud capabilities to integrate storage and computing resources on-demand and as-needed. This deployment further simplifies IT infrastructure, reducing the overall system's total cost of ownership.
