Gooxi's hyper-converged product is based on the company's independently developed software-defined data center IT infrastructure. It offers an integrated solution that combines functionalities such as compute virtualization, cloud-native capabilities, distributed storage, storage acceleration, and cluster disaster recovery. This solution enables on-demand deployment and elastic scalability, reducing overall investment and management complexity in IT infrastructure and effectively supporting enterprises in their digital transformation and business innovation.

With the advent of the digital economy wave, foundational IT systems have become increasingly complex. According to McKinsey research, global IT data is growing at a rate of 40% per year. As data plays a crucial role in business decision-making, its importance continues to grow. Efficient analysis and management of data require powerful data centers. Traditional IT three-tier architectures have long deployment cycles, complex operations and maintenance, and limited flexibility in resource scaling. In order to improve the efficiency of idle CPU and memory utilization, system architectures have evolved towards compute virtualization. However, as the number of virtual machines and containers increases, using them simultaneously can lead to I/O congestion. Traditional storage structures are unable to handle high I/O demands, making them incompatible with the development of today's big data era.

Therefore, the hyper-converged architecture based on distributed storage emerged to address the bottleneck of data read I/O and improve resource utilization through compute virtualization technology. Combined with network virtualization, it forms a comprehensive, elastic, and agile out-of-the-box product solution, significantly reducing the difficulties associated with long deployment cycles, high investments, and complex management of traditional IT systems. It meets the diverse and evolving needs of business development while serving as the most convenient bridge for enterprise cloud adoption.

◆Compared to traditional architectures, hyper-convergence offers:

★ Cost reduction: Hyper-convergence eliminates the high costs associated with dedicated hardware, making resource scaling easier and more affordable. It allows for phased deployment, providing greater flexibility in enterprise IT budget planning. The architecture simplifies resource management and substantially reduces construction costs, deployment cycles, management costs, and operational costs.

★ Efficiency improvement: Hyper-converged architectures employ distributed storage technology, addressing traditional storage performance bottlenecks and greatly enhancing business access speed. Moreover, the optimal utilization of computing resources minimizes waste, enabling seamless migration of services between different devices, ensuring high availability, and enhancing overall business efficiency.

★ Flexible scalability: With virtualization technology, hyperconverged architecture enables seamless elastic scaling. Enterprises can flexibly expand their infrastructure based on their business needs, reducing initial construction costs, improving resource utilization, and supporting different hardware and secure capacity expansion without affecting business continuity.

Gooxi Hyper-converged Architecture: Integrated Cloud Experience

Based on this, Gooxi's hyper-converged architecture supports the unified access of multiple architectures, systems, and vendors' infrastructure in the context of big data and the AI era. It helps users integrate IT infrastructure resources and provides core capabilities for private clouds, critical business applications, development and testing, big data, and edge computing, achieving truly integrated operations and management.

Integrated Cloud-Native Capabilities

Gooxi's hyper-converged system employs a dual-engine approach with built-in containers and virtual machines. It supports both containers and virtual machines with reusable computing, storage, network, and management platforms while ensuring VM security isolation. This approach enables architectural diversity, business flexibility, unified management, and streamlined operations. It allows for VM fault migration, offers data backup and cluster disaster recovery capabilities, and builds an agile service delivery platform.

Full Lifecycle Management of Virtual Machines

The system enables comprehensive lifecycle management of virtual machines, supporting functions such as VM fault migration, backup, snapshots, and cloning. It can restore virtual machines using backups and snapshots, supporting core business systems such as VDI, databases, and critical applications. Additionally, it supports direct access to PCIe devices, enabling GPU passthrough to VMs, meeting the requirements of high-performance computing scenarios such as rendering and video processing.

Multi-Site Disaster Recovery across Clusters

Gooxi's hyper-converged product provides various levels of security protection against potential failure scenarios. In addition to virtual machine and storage security protections, it enables disaster recovery capabilities across different clusters. The RPO and RTO times can be customized according to the characteristics of the enterprise's business. In the event of a primary cluster failure, quick startup in the disaster recovery (DR) cluster avoids the performance impact and risks caused by external replication functionality.

Seamless Performance Migration

Gooxi's hyper-converged product supports high-speed, lossless data migration, facilitating secure and efficient upgrades of customers' IT system architectures and simplifying data migration. It allows for the deployment of new operating systems, software, and application environments in a new environment. Critical data from the existing environment can be extracted and transferred using minimal data volume and at the fastest migration speed, minimizing business interruption during application upgrade and migration.

Digitization is becoming the driving force behind economic development, and enterprises are undergoing digital transformation to adapt and enhance their competitiveness. Leveraging deep market insights, Gooxi actively assists enterprises in simplifying their IT infrastructure and provides reliable support for various industries' digital transformation journeys.
