Sangfor Unified Hybrid Cloud: A Cloud that Evolves with You

Sangfor provides simple, resilient, and secure cloud solutions for core data centers, remote offices/branch offices, and edge locations in your cloud journey. Starting with a Private Cloud based on Sangfor Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI), you can evolve to Unified Hybrid Cloud by extending your on-premises data center to Sangfor Managed Cloud Services (MCS). Sangfor MCS is delivered using the same underlying HCI infrastructure and technology stack, ensuring seamless integration and workload portability. You have the flexibility to run your applications on-premises or in the cloud for optimized performance, cost, and security—all managed from a centralized cloud management platform.

Sangfor Hybrid Cloud Value Proposition

Homogeneous & Flexible Hybrid Cloud

End-to-end Hybrid Cloud solution powered by NG-CDI supports both VMs and Containers. Homogeneous Hybrid Cloud architecture enables flexibility in the application partition or workload placement design in the hybrid model at optimized cloud adoption value.

Unified Management of On & Off-prem Environments

Simplified operation and maintenance achieved via the Homogeneous Hybrid Cloud unified management span across the on-prem and off-prem environments. Deep visibility with visualized drag & drop topology enables governance of performance, risk and cost control.

High Resiliency & Security

Sangfor offers high resiliency and secured hybrid cloud thanks to the built-in Backup and DR Solution, with the all-round security. Homogeneous hybrid cloud design enables consistency of resiliency and security across on-prem private cloud and off-prem MCS Cloud.

Cloud Interconnect

Cloud Interconnect

Advantages:

  • Low cost: There is no need to purchase special networking equipment. Using Internet lines and free Cloud Interconnect components, you can quickly establish layer 2 connections between the on-premises data center and managed cloud.
  • Easy deployment: With a deployment wizard to guide you, you can quickly complete hybrid cloud deployment in a few simple steps.
  • Flexible networking: Supports layer 2/layer 3 connections to meet flexible networking needs.
  • Low overhead: 1 CPU core and 2GB RAM support 300Mbps+ throughput.

Business Values:

  • Secure Integration: Sangfor Managed Cloud supports custom subnets that mirror the on-premises configurations. In the hybrid cloud setup, applications can securely interact with each other via inter-cloud tunnels that isolate communication from other subnets.
  • Flexible Cloud Migration: No need to modify private IPs when migrating to the cloud, network configurations remain unchanged, and applications are unaffected; core services can be flexibly migrated to the cloud in batches at the level of individual hosts.
  • Convenient Disaster Recovery: Disaster recovery failover does not require changing IPs; supports on-demand failover at the level of virtual machines; the deployment location for applications such as databases can be flexibly selected; the cluster can be used just like in the local network with high availability.

Use Cases

Hybrid Workload Placement

Strategically deploy workloads on-premises or in the managed cloud for optimized performance, cost, security, and compliance.

  • When migrating on-premises applications to the cloud, the unified cloud infrastructure ensures compatibility, stability, and quick deployment.
  • Using L2 over L3 technology, the Cloud Interconnect mechanism provides a high-speed, reliable, and stable network environment for application interaction.
  • Unified management and monitoring greatly reduce the O&M complexity of hybrid workloads.
Hybrid Workload Placement

Disaster Recovery​

Back up and replicate critical data and systems to the managed cloud to reduce the risk of data loss and ensure business continuity during outages.

  • Cost-Effectiveness: Offers disaster recovery on a pay-as-you-go basis at the level of individual virtual machines.
  • Flexibility and Reliability: Provides different levels of local and remote (Managed Cloud) disaster recovery. A recovery point objective (RPO) of ≈ 0 and a recovery time objective (RTO) in minutes can be achieved under suitable network conditions.
  • Ease of Use: Does not require specialized skills to set up since disaster recovery wizards are provided for both on-premises and cloud environments. Offers one-click disaster recovery simulation and failover.
