Virtualization

Infortrend Enterprise Cloud (IEC) is a next-generation private cloud platform designed for enterprises that need reliable, scalable, and future-ready IT infrastructure. By unifying virtual machines, containers, and AI workloads under a single management framework, IEC enables organizations to simplify operations, reduce risks, optimize cost, and accelerate digital transformation.

In corporate IT environments, virtual machines (VMs) have become one of the most common infrastructures.
However, with rapid business growth, enterprises are also facing the following challenges:

• Fragmented Resource and Complex Management: Multiple VM platforms and applications coexist, making maintenance and upgrades time-consuming.
• Difficulty in Scaling: Traditional virtualization architectures are limited in expansion and cannot flexibly respond to fluctuating demands.
• High Availability Requirements: In industries such as finance, healthcare, education, and R&D, downtime of VM applications directly impacts operations.
• Challenges of Integrating Old and New Applications: VM environments must coexist with containers, AI, and cloud-native architectures. A lack of flexible infrastructure becomes a barrier.
• Rising Licensing and Support Costs: Increasing expenses from traditional virtualization vendors strain IT budgets and reduce flexibility.

IEC provides enterprises with a high-performance, reliable, and scalable VM operating platform:

Seamless Migration and Fast Deployment

Supports smooth migration of existing VM applications, reducing the risk of rebuilding and downtime.

Centralized Management

Monitors and manages VMs, storage, and network resources through a single platform, simplifying operations and maintenance.

High Reliability Design

Equipped with node fault tolerance, data replication, and backup functions to ensure stable and continuous VM operations.

Flexible Scalability

Computational or storage resources can be linearly expanded as needed, minimizing upfront investment and reducing total cost of ownership (TCO).

Hybrid Architecture Support

Supports VMs, containers, and AI/HPC workloads simultaneously, enabling enterprises to leverage existing investments while embracing new technologies.

By adopting IEC’s VM platform, enterprises can gain the following value:

• Reduced Operational Risk: Even if hardware or nodes fail, VM applications can quickly recover.
• Improved Operational Efficiency: Centralized management and automated operations save time and costs for IT teams.
• Lower Total Cost of Ownership: Flexible resource expansion and reduced maintenance overhead help enterprises achieve significant cost savings.
• Secured Long-Term Investment: Existing VM systems can continue running while also supporting future adoption of AI and cloud-native technologies.
• Flexible Response to Demand: Rapidly add or adjust resources to meet the needs of different business units or industry scenarios.

IEC’s applications in VM scenarios are highly versatile, covering multiple industries:

• Enterprise IT: Core business systems such as ERP, CRM, and HR benefit from IEC’s high availability and rapid scalability.
• R&D and Testing: Development teams can quickly set up VM testing environments, accelerating product iteration.
• Education: Schools and training centers can centrally manage virtual desktops and course VMs, enabling students to launch learning environments anytime.
• Healthcare: PACS and medical information systems running on VMs are secured by IEC with data protection and disaster recovery.
• Finance: Trading and database systems running in IEC VM environments deliver low latency and high reliability to support high-frequency trading needs.
• AI and HPC: VMs can integrate GPU acceleration, supporting AI model training and high-performance simulations and analysis.
