ZTE Corporation recently launched at CeBIT 2016 its “hybrid cloud” solution which is based on the company’s unified smart performance optimization deployment (uSmartPOD).
The ZTE Enterprise Hybrid Cloud solution, based on ZTE’s adaptive virtual data center (VDC) cloud platform, provides cloud applications such as cloud desktop, cloud conferencing, as well as collaborative office functions.
Through the use of ZTE’s uSmartPOD as the SW and HW combined smart private cloud carrier, it allows enterprises to rapidly construct local private clouds, solving challenges related to cable/wireless network access, voice over IP (VoIP), and network security. In addition, it can be seamlessly integrated with public cloud to construct hybrid cloud architecture, realizing data privatization, data isolation, and enterprise resources control while enjoying the low cost of the public cloud.
ZTE acknowledges that the requirement of an enterprise for hybrid cloud services has three development phases. During the first stage, the enterprise gradually moves edge services and storage backup data to the public cloud platform. During the second stage, the enterprise needs to constitute its local private cloud in view of its information security and reliability.
At the third stage, the enterprise needs to interconnect the local private cloud with the public cloud platform to realize seamless linkage of services and truly realize a hybrid cloud. The solution can truly realize the automatic deployment and elastic scaling between the public cloud and private cloud through the smart adjustment capability of the uSmartPOD according to the enterprise’s capabilities and requirements at different stages.
Meanwhile, ZTE’s Enterprise Hybrid Cloud solution, through the uSmart smart service management and orchestration system, automatically perceives service pressures and elastically expands the cloud-end networks and capabilities accordingly. When invoking the cloud-end capabilities, it also opens southbound interfaces for third-party software to invoke the cloud-end capabilities and provides customers with a more elastic and open cloud-pipe integration architecture.
