Botnet Containment
If a VM is found to be compromised by botnet activity, it is automatically isolated using the distributed firewall to prevent lateral spread.
Cryptomining Prevention
Cryptojacking attempts are stopped immediately by suspending or shutting down affected VMs, avoiding unauthorized resource consumption.
Safeguard sensitive data across your cloud infrastructure with industry-grade encryption technologies.
Robust Encryption Standards
All VM disk images and associated snapshots are encrypted using AES-256 and SM4, providing strong protection against unauthorized access.
Per-VM Encryption Scope
Each virtual machine is assigned its own encryption module, ensuring isolated and independent security.
Unique Encryption Keys
Every VM is protected by a distinct encryption key, enhancing overall system security and reducing risk from key reuse or compromise.
The Host Affinity feature ensures that all components of a multi-tier web application—such as the front-end web server, application logic, and backend database—are placed together on the same physical host.
This tight grouping minimizes latency and boosts performance by avoiding inter-host data transfer.
It’s particularly beneficial for performance-sensitive applications, where consistent and fast communication between components is crucial.
Host Affinity also enhances resource predictability and reduces cross-server traffic, improving overall system responsiveness.
The built-in Virtual Application Delivery (vAD) engine in Sangfor HCI acts as a smart virtual load balancer, optimizing how user requests are handled across multiple virtual machines.
Smart Load Distribution
Incoming traffic is intelligently distributed among various web and application VMs, preventing overloading of a single instance and ensuring seamless user experiences even during peak usage times.
Automated Scaling for Performance Stability
Auto-scaling groups monitor system metrics like CPU, memory, and network traffic. When predefined thresholds are exceeded, the system automatically spins up additional VMs to meet demand—or reduces them during low activity to save resources.
This adaptive approach keeps performance consistent and cost-efficient, making it ideal for dynamic business environments and high-traffic websites.
Traditional storage systems built on SAN (Storage Area Network) architecture rely heavily on a central controller and a stack of disk enclosures, leading to performance bottlenecks as storage demands increase.
Next-Gen Frameless Design with HCI & aStor
Sangfor HCI and aStor use a distributed, frameless architecture that eliminates the limitations of traditional controllers.
Effortless Horizontal Scaling
New nodes can be added to the system and connected via Ethernet-based storage switches. This not only expands the storage capacity but also increases the system’s data handling capability—improving both performance and scalability at the same time.
Parallel Performance Boost
Each new node contributes both compute power and storage throughput, ensuring that performance scales proportionately with growth, without creating new bottlenecks.
Sangfor HCI delivers robust fault tolerance through advanced data replication strategies:
Multi-Copy Data Redundancy: Each piece of data is replicated either twice or three times across different nodes in the cluster.
With 2-copy redundancy, the system can withstand the failure of one host without data loss.
With 3-copy redundancy, even the failure of two hosts can be absorbed without compromising data integrity.
Automatic Failover with N+1 Redundancy:
The HCI architecture includes N+1 host redundancy. This means if any physical server (host) fails, the system will automatically detect the failure and restart the affected virtual machines on another healthy host, ensuring business continuity with minimal interruption.
aStor enhances the resiliency layer with more efficient data protection mechanisms:
Erasure Coding Technology:
Unlike simple copy-based redundancy, Erasure Coding distributes encoded data fragments across multiple nodes in the storage cluster. In the event of a node failure, the system can reconstruct the lost data fragments without loss—offering better storage utilization and reliability.
This method allows for strong data durability while consuming significantly less storage space compared to full data replication strategies, making it ideal for enterprises with large volumes of critical data.
Beyond real-time redundancy, Sangfor HCI includes additional local protections to safeguard against data loss from human error, corruption, or hardware failure:
Integrated Backup Solution:
Users can configure automated backups to external storage devices on a scheduled basis (hourly, daily, etc.). This ensures a consistent restore point and allows for fast recovery within minutes if needed.
Continuous Data Protection (CDP):
CDP provides near-instantaneous protection by backing up data continuously—essentially every second. This minimizes Recovery Point Objective (RPO) to almost zero, ensuring that even recent changes are preserved in the event of an incident.
For protection beyond the local data center, Sangfor offers a full suite of Disaster Recovery solutions:
Flexible RPO and RTO Support:
The Disaster Recovery Management platform allows businesses to set different levels of recovery points (RPO) and recovery times (RTO) based on the criticality of each application or service.
On-Premises and Cloud DR Options:
Organizations can choose to deploy disaster recovery infrastructure on-premises as a capital expense (CAPEX) or leverage Sangfor’s cloud-based disaster recovery services on an operational expenditure (OPEX) basis, offering flexibility in cost and scalability.
Cross-Platform VM Replication:
Sangfor DRM supports the replication of virtual machines not only from Sangfor HCI but also from third-party virtualization platforms. This makes it a versatile DR solution suitable for hybrid environments.
Downtime in critical applications like MES, HIS, and PACS can disrupt operations and impact services. Our high-resilience infrastructure ensures continuous availability, safeguarding against potential losses.
Industries dealing with confidential information, such as healthcare and government sectors, require stringent data protection. Our platform offers comprehensive security measures, including encryption and threat detection, to meet regulatory standards.
