1. Group Enterprises and Branches: Building Enterprise Private Clouds

Scenario Pain Points

When large group enterprises adopt traditional IT construction models, the headquarters, subsidiaries, and business divisions often purchase and maintain physical servers independently. This leads to low resource utilization, high initial investment, and elevated operation and maintenance costs. The headquarters struggles to uniformly supervise the business data security and resource usage of each branch, making it impossible to achieve flexible scheduling and sharing of IT resources.

Multi-Tenant Solution

• The group headquarters deploys a unified Sangfor enterprise-level cloud platform (aCloud) to integrate all computing, storage, and network resources into a unified cloud resource pool.
• The headquarters cloud management center acts as the "Platform Administrator", creating an independent "Tenant" (or "Virtual Data Center") for each subsidiary or business division and allocating precise resource quotas (such as vCPU, memory, and storage capacity).
• IT personnel at each branch serve as their respective "Tenant Administrators". Within the allocated quotas, they can self-service create and manage their own cloud hosts, virtual networks, and storage volumes, and independently deploy business applications.

Value Proposition

• Centralized Resources, Optimized Costs: Consolidate scattered IT investments onto the cloud platform to significantly improve resource utilization. Reduce the overall Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) through resource sharing and dynamic allocation.
• Combined Centralization and Decentralization, Efficient O&M: The headquarters achieves global resource monitoring, planning, and unified security baseline management. Each branch gains sufficient autonomy to quickly respond to local business needs and achieve agile delivery of IT services.
• Data and Network Isolation: Leverage the cloud platform's Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) technology to naturally achieve Layer 2/Layer 3 network isolation between tenants. Ensure that business data and traffic between subsidiaries are invisible to and do not interfere with each other.

2. Cloud Service Platforms and Managed Service Providers (MSP/CSP): Enabling Commercial Operation of Cloud Services

Scenario Pain Points

Cloud service providers or MSPs need to provide stable and secure cloud host rental services to a large number of external enterprise customers. Deploying independent physical clusters for each customer would result in overly bloated infrastructure, complex operation and maintenance, and difficulties in achieving scale and profitability.

Multi-Tenant Solution

• The service provider builds a multi-tenant cloud service platform based on Sangfor aCloud.
• The service provider acts as the "Platform Administrator" to manage all underlying physical resources.
• Create a fully logically isolated "Tenant" for each enterprise customer and allocate resources based on packages or customized plans.

Value Proposition

• Rapid Service Activation and Automated Delivery: Utilize the cloud platform's templating and orchestration capabilities to create new customer tenants and allocate resources within minutes, enabling instant service activation.
• Solid Foundation of Trust: The strong isolation between tenants ensures that Customer A's business data and virtual machine images are completely isolated from Customer B's. This meets enterprise customers' highest requirements for data privacy and security, which is the core prerequisite for commercial operations.
• Granular Operation and Billing: The cloud platform provides tenant-specific resource metering functions. Service providers can clearly track each customer's resource consumption, providing accurate data support for on-demand billing (e.g., by CPU/memory/storage usage) or package-based charging.

3. Government and Public Institutions: Building Intensive Government Clouds

Scenario Pain Points

In e-government extranets and smart city projects, business systems of various government departments (such as finance, public security, and human resources and social security) operate independently, with varying requirements for computing resources and security. Traditional approaches easily lead to "information silos", severe redundant construction, and difficulties in ensuring cross-departmental data security, failing to meet national level protection requirements.

Multi-Tenant Solution

• The municipal big data bureau or information center uniformly builds a government cloud platform based on Sangfor aCloud.
• The information center acts as the "Platform Administrator", responsible for the overall operation, maintenance, and security of the platform.
• Allocate an independent "Tenant" and corresponding resource quotas to each government department.

Value Proposition

• Security Isolation Compliance with Level Protection: The cloud platform's virtual firewalls, security groups, and VPC networks establish logical security boundaries that meet level protection requirements for each government department's tenant, fundamentally preventing unauthorized access.
• Breaking "Stovepipes", Enabling Intensification: Centrally deploy IT systems of all government departments on a unified cloud platform. Achieve unified planning, on-demand allocation, and dynamic adjustment of IT resources across the city, avoiding redundant investment.
• Efficient "Separation of Management and Operation" Model: The information center is responsible for "managing" platform stability and security, while each government department manages the "operation" of business systems within its own tenant. Clear responsibilities improve overall management efficiency and business launch speed.

4. Education Sector: Creating Smart Campus Clouds

Scenario Pain Points

Different colleges, administrative departments, and research teams within universities have vastly different IT resource needs. The School of Computer Science requires GPU servers for AI training, the School of Biology needs large-memory virtual machines for genetic data processing, and the Finance Office demands a highly secure isolated environment. A unified and rigid resource allocation model cannot meet these diverse needs.

Multi-Tenant Solution

• The university's information network center deploys Sangfor aCloud to build a campus private cloud.
• The information network center acts as the "Platform Administrator".
• Create independent "Tenants" or "Projects" for each college, key administrative department, or major research project, and allocate differentiated resources (e.g., assigning GPU resource pools to specific tenants).

Value Proposition

• On-Demand Resources, Supporting Teaching and Research: The cloud platform allows allocation of different resource types (computing-optimized, memory-optimized, GPU-optimized) to different tenants. Precisely meet the special needs of various academic fields and strongly support scientific research innovation and teaching activities.
• Reduced O&M Burden, Delegated Responsibilities: The information network center is freed from heavy underlying hardware maintenance and focuses on platform services. IT personnel in colleges can independently manage resources within their own tenants, handle daily tasks, and achieve faster response speeds.
• Protection of Core Data Assets: Create independent tenants with high security levels for finance, human resources, and confidential research projects. Ensure that sensitive data is not accessed without authorization through strict network policies and controls.
