Huawei FusionSphere is a kind of virtualization suite.

The FusionSphere virtualization suite virtualizes hardware resources using the virtualization software deployed on physical servers, so that one physical server can function as multiple virtual servers. This solution maximizes resource utilization by centralizing existing VMs workloads on some servers and therefore releasing more servers to carry new applications and solutions.

The FunsionSphere incloud FusionCompute(a cloud OS), eBackup(a virtualized backup software product), and UltraVR(a disaster recovery (DR) management software product).

For more details, you can refer to the product document.

Cloud Facilities

Cloud facilities refer to the auxiliaries and space required by the cloud data center, including the power supply system, fire-fighting system, wiring system, and cooling system. Huawei has been devoted to continuously enhancing the competitiveness of the data center based on the concept called SAFE, which focuses on smartness, availability, flexibility, and efficiency.

FusionSphere

The FusionSphere virtualizes hardware resources using the virtualization software deployed on physical servers, so that one physical server can be used as multiple virtual servers. The FusionSphere allocates all current workloads to VMs on some servers, so that new applications and solutions can be deployed on the servers whose original workloads are migrated to other VMs.

Hardware Infrastructure Layer Hardware infrastructure consists of servers, storage devices, network devices, and security devices. These resources allow customers to build different scale systems and expand
its capacity based on actual needs and to use applications ranging from entry level to enterprise level. Various devices provide customers with multiple and flexible choices.
FusionManager The FusionManager monitors and manages hardware and software of cloud computing. It provides automatic resource provisioning and automatic operation and maintenance (O&M) for the infrastructure. Additionally, it provides a web user interface (UI) to administrators to operate and manage the resources in the system.
FusionStorage
FusionStorage is the distributed storage software that integrates storage and computing capabilities. It can be deployed on general-purpose x86 servers to consolidate the local disks on all the servers into a virtual storage resource pool that provides the block storage function.
FusionSphere SOI
FusionSphere System Operation Insight (SOI) collects and displays VM performance indicators in the FusionSphere cloud system, models and analyzes the collected data, makes predictions on future performance changes based on the collected data, and provides suggestions on system performance management.
