The InCloud Sphere is an enterprise-class open virtualization solution platform launched by Inspur. We have developed multiple versions of the platform, including standard, advanced, security and ARM versions, to help different customers build secure, stable, efficient and easy-to-use data centers.
Stable and Reliable
(1) It enables the practical implementation of large-scale deployments where, for example, a single iCenter can manage 550 hosts and 8000 virtual machines in a customer data center.
(2) The platform has been designed with more than 400 test cases to validate and improve the reliability of the product in the case of power outage, network outage, hardware failure, etc., guaranteeing the recovery capability in extreme cases.
(3) It is equipped with intelligent automatic operation and maintenance mechanisms to ensure business continuity with features such as HA, live migration, DRS and DPM.
(4) Thanks to our exclusive multi-site disk copy technology, copies can be heterogeneous across different manufacturers, different models, and different forms of storage, effectively supporting the capabilities of storage and old resource usage.
Secure and Compatible
(1) The product can be adapted to more than 260 OSs: Windows/Linux/ Unix and other mainstream operating systems are widely compatible.
(2) Relying on partnerships with major security manufacturers such as Rising Antivirus and TOPSEC, such product is equipped with security protection programs including agent-free antivirus, network protection and firewall, among others.
(3) Our platform, equipped with dual-site disaster recovery, virtual machine backup capabilities, and a custom-set virtual machine protection strategy, secures vital business and data for our customers.
(4) This product has been certified to the highest level of safety, meeting the requirements for equal protection construction.
Simple and Easy-to-Use
(1) We have optimized the installation and deployment operation process to create a fully graphical mouse manipulation interface that truly enables fast learning of installation within 10 minutes.
(2) Designed for small and medium-sized customers, the bare metal functionality eliminates the need for complex architectures and enables unified management of virtual machines and bare metal.
(3) Thanks to the ability to complete SDN initialization in one minute and a fast construction of a two-layer network, the platform can provide a variety of advanced network functions such as globally distributed firewalls, routers and gateways.
High Performance
(1) It supports the pass-through usage of multiple GPU, FPGA and other accelerated hardware, which can meet the needs of various high-performance scenarios including deep learning, inference, training, graphics rendering, and modeling.
(2) For a great range of tuning of distributed storage, this product is capable of providing ultra-high IOPS for the Inspur Hyper-Converged (HCI) products upon being equipped with the InCloud Storage.
(3) Based on extensive underlying optimizations, the platform is equipped with several features including CPU shares, limits, and memory reservation to ensure that higher performance computing resources are available for customer-critical operations.
(4) With intelligent network cards and other hardware, it enables traffic offloading to maximize software-defined performance.
Edge Computing Scenarios
The InCloud Sphere supports cross-site migration to satisfy cross-site live migration and resource coordination of virtual machines between different edge sites. It is capable of providing remote O&M, implementing cloud-edge global resource monitoring and remote environment inspection, and further reducing O&M costs; in addition, it supports business distribution, enabling the distribution of prepared business templates to each edge site for fast deployment. In conclusion, the InCloud Sphere platform can meet the diverse needs of customers at the edge of the cloud, truly enabling cloud-edge collaboration.
Lightweight Enterprises Private Cloud Scenarios
The InCloud Sphere platform pools a variety of hardware devices such as servers, storage and networks through virtualization technology, enabling the entire IT environment to have higher availability, security and scalability than separate physical hardware, meeting the needs of businesses looking to reduce costs, simplify management, and improve security and scalability. It helps companies migrate their core businesses to cloud computing and build enterprise cloud data centers.
Artificial Intelligence Computing Scenarios
The InCloud Sphere employs GPU pass-through technology to enable users to create a virtual workstation that can take advantage of all the benefits of a dedicated graphics processor. The virtual workstations provide users with workstation-level experience relying on the GPU acceleration technology, which is used for workload acceleration for high-end graphics design, application simulation, 3D graphics rendering, data analysis and other tasks, satisfying the needs of AI applications such as reasoning, simulation, emulation, and impact processing in the industry.
