The document introduces the concept, value, and common operations related to the Sangfor HCI cluster, such as cluster creation, maintenance, and upgrades.

The HCI cluster is an architecture that integrates computing, storage, and networking resources, simplifying the management and deployment of data centers. By using virtualization technology, HCI clusters consolidate the resources of multiple physical hosts into a unified resource pool, thereby improving resource utilization and flexibility. Achieve unified resource scheduling, automatic fault migration, and performance load balancing.

The cluster sangfor platform can manage include three types:

HCI Cluster: Sangfor HCI cluster, integrated compute, storage and network resource.

VMware Cluster: VMware vSphere Cluster.

Third-Party Public Cloud: AWS.
