Sangfor HCI consolidates computing, storage, networking, and security to create a simplified enterprise application platform. This simplification reduces solution integration risk and minimizes the attack surface. The platform includes the built-in aSEC security operation center that uses virtual security appliances to protect public-facing applications and web services as well as critical internal databases. aSEC offers centralized security management, covering both internal and external traffic. This ensures excellent security visibility and governance across the entire HCI stack, effectively securing critical enterprise applications from the perimeter to the micro-segment level.
Sangfor Enterprise Application Platform Advantages
Inside-Out Security
Efficient and Scalable Storage
Sangfor HCI's built-in block storage can be complemented by Sangfor aStor—a unified, distributed storage system that supports block, file, and object storage. This combination of HCI and aStor allows for a flexible and efficient storage layer within the SDDC, opening up possibilities for a wider range of business scenarios. Both HCI and aStor run on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) x86 servers, making them cost-effective, scalable, and easy to manage and maintain.
Local and Global Resiliency
Sangfor HCI provides local high availability (HA) through its data redundancy and integrated backup features. Additionally, Sangfor's Disaster Recovery Management (DRM) solution offers off-site HA by replicating production workloads to the DR site. For scenarios that require the highest levels of availability, DRM allows HCI to stretch a cluster across two sites, establishing an Active-Active Data Center set up to ensure the best uptime for enterprise applications.
