Intel and Huawei strengthen deep cooperation in cloud computing

Huawei's Fusionsphere cloud operating system has intensified in-depth cooperation between the two sides, the company announced on September 3 at the 2013 Huawei Cloud Computing Conference (HCC 2013), and Intel, the leading maker of global computing innovation, to collaborate on cloud computing. The integration of Intel's hardware platform in the virtualization of innovative technology, performance and reliability, compatibility, security and so on have been continuously upgraded. Fusionsphere is an open, efficient cloud platform, providing data center-oriented heterogeneous multi-manufacturer computing, storage, network resource pool level integration, for customers greatly improve IT infrastructure utilization efficiency, improve operational maintenance efficiency, reduce IT costs. On the performance side, Fusionsphere uses the Intel NUMA technology to realize the virtual machine memory access efficiency and the virtual machine performance enhancement effectively. Combined with the other series of performance tuning in the Fusionsphere 3.0 version, the industry's most authoritative virtualization performance against Benchmark Specvirt_sc2010 scored 4687 points, with the same hardware platform, virtualization performance to the industry's best. In terms of reliability, Huawei has collaborated with Intel to develop the Colo scheme as a fusionsphere fault tolerance (fault-tolerant) technology. It supports the virtual machine hot standby of single core and multi-core CPU, and reduces the overhead and performance overhead of the primary standby synchronization, and improves the system reliability and recovery capability. In terms of compatibility, Huawei utilizes the Intel Flexmigrate capability to achieve heterogeneous thermal migration of virtual machines between different models of CPUs of the manufacturer, in addition, the implementation of VMDQ through network cards to virtual machine thermal migration support, and on the virtualization platform to support IOV network card passthrough. Effectively enhance the reliability of heterogeneous compatibility scenarios. On the security side, Huawei combines Intel's built-in security technology with virtualized operating systems and desktop applications to achieve a visual control of the security status of the cloud platform and to enhance end-user trust in cloud computing services. "Intel is committed to building an innovative virtualized hardware platform for industry partners to build a simpler, safer and more efficient cloud infrastructure with practical engineering and testing validation," said Dr He Jingxiang, general Manager and Intel Software and Services Division, Intel Asia Pacific Research and Development Co., Ltd. So as to promote the development of cloud computing technology and application to the ground. Huawei is our important strategic partner, its Fusionsphere cloud operating system integrates the two sides in the field of cloud computing the latest technological achievements, will be for the vast number of customers to bring greater business value. "Huawei and Intel are working closely together in cloud computing, leveraging their respective hardware and software advantages to greatly enhance the virtualization performance of Fusionsphere, provide reliability, compatibility, security, and bring greater value to customers," said Ningzhi-Peng, president of Huawei's IT cloud computing product line. Huawei attaches great importance to working with industry-leading partners and ISV vendors to build healthy ecosystems and provide customers with more complete, better performance solutions. ”
