Datacenter Virtualization Solution (DCS)
Build a solid foundation for data centers in the age of AI.
Solution Overview
What Challenges Do Data Centers Face?
Service Continuity
Zero service interruptions and zero data loss are key to ensuring the stability of core business operations. In finance in particular, RPO must be zero and RTO must reach the minute-level.
Performance
High-frequency services require high concurrency and low latency, supporting thousands—even tens of thousands—of requests every second, with latency slashed from millisecond to microsecond level.
Resilience
To address ransomware, data breaches, and other threats, a multi-layered, in-depth defense system must cover everything, from network to data, including single-point protection and systematic architecture.
Intelligent Transformation
To cope with explosive data growth and widespread artificial intelligence (AI) adoption in all industries, PB- to EB-scale data processing capabilities are needed.
Why Huawei DCS?
High Resilience and Reliability
• Automatic migration on hardware subhealth and the unique DR Star (3DC) solution.
• Multilayer collaboration between storage, compute, and network to defense against ransomware.
Superb Performance
• I/O passthrough and E2E lossless transmission, delivering 10% or more higher performance than the competition.
• Full-stack management, intelligent O&M, and simplified four-step migration.
Ongoing Innovation
• Compatibility with a vast range of models and applications.
• Zero-code application orchestration and automatic agent generation.
• Efficient data governance.
Benefits of DCS
Resilience and Reliability
Flexible and efficient backup solutions enable comprehensive protection for service data.
All-scenario disaster recovery (DR) solutions, including intra-city active-active setup, remote DR, and DR Star, provide a highly reliable foundation for core services.
Hardware subhealth detection prevents service interruptions with fault prediction and automatic migration.
Comprehensive ransomware protection with multilayer storage-compute-network collaboration safeguards data resilience through accurate detection and proactive defense.
Superb Performance
eVol storage: Shorter I/O paths for higher virtualized storage performance.
Thin-provisioned disks: 10% higher performance than the industry benchmark with intelligent storage space pre-allocation.
NoF+ virtualization: 30% higher performance than the industry benchmark with I/O forwarding that bypasses the kernel.
Compute optimization: Multiple optimization technologies, such as NUMA optimization, hugepage memory, and CPU QoS, to support the efficient operation of core services.
Premium Experience
Converged, intelligent, and agile O&M experience enabled by the full-stack management platform for hardware and software.
Wide ecosystem compatibility with over 1,000 hardware and software models.
Efficient migration tools, best practices, and professional services for smooth service migration.
