Digital transformation is an inevitable trend in today’s business development. As enterprises progress in their digital transformation, the existing virtualized IT infrastructure cannot meet the requirements of business agility and elasticity and faces challenges in maintaining stable business operations and ensuring data asset security. The typical challenges faced by the current virtualized IT infrastructure in users’ data centers are as follows:

1. Diversified New Businesses

The digital transformation of businesses has led to diverse demands on information systems, including the need for virtualization to ensure reliable business operations and the growing proportion of storing unstructured data from audio and video media.

2. Scalability of IT Resources

New technologies have resulted in a significant increase in the demand for IT resources. Data set volume has grown from terabyte level to petabyte level, and IT systems now frequently require expansion, reuse, and replacement. This necessitates efficient scalability to implement seamless expansion, extensive reuse, and efficient replacement.

3. System Security and Reliability

Ensuring secure and stable business operations is the primary objective of information system development. Core information systems must provide comprehensive security solutions at the business, data, and infrastructure levels to ensure reliable and stable data center operation.
