Cloud Virtualization Kernel (CVK)Â
H3C CAS includes the Cloud Virtualization Kernel (CVK), which operates between the underlying infrastructure and the upper-layer guest operating systems (OSs). CVK isolates guest OSs from hardware complexities, enabling seamless access to infrastructure. It ensures hardware compatibility, high reliability, scalability, and performance optimization in a virtual environment.
Cloud Virtualization Manager (CVM)Â
The Cloud Virtualization Manager (CVM) oversees the virtualization of computing, network, and storage resources within the data center. CVM provides automated services for upper-layer applications, including virtual computing, networking, storage, high availability (HA), dynamic resource scheduling (DRS), dynamic resource expansion (DRX), GPU resource pools, virtual machine backup and recovery, KVM virtualization management, vSwitch management, high reliability management, virtualization security management, and log audit interfaces. Additionally, CVM offers open northbound REST interfaces and plugins compatible with OpenStack, facilitating integration with third-party and standard OpenStack cloud management platforms.
Can work with a variety of different computer hardware and software, making it easier for businesses to use H3C CAS with the equipment they already have.
Supports unified management, one-click migration, and seamless disaster recovery for VMware virtualization.
Has security features built in to protect your data and systems. These features include security protection at the kernel, data, service, and management layers.
a
Provides one-click virtualization O&M that can help you to automate the operation and maintenance of your virtual machines and make it easier to accomplish.

Supports an open and customizable standard, which means that it can be integrated smoothly with a variety of third-party products with the OpenStack cloud platform architecture.
H3C CAS organizes servers and virtual machines into clusters, offering a clear hierarchical view of data centers, host pools, clusters, hosts, and VMs. This reduces resource management workload and costs. CVK ensures high availability by monitoring servers, migrating VMs on failure, and supporting online migration of VMs and storage, allowing cost-effective high availability. Dynamic resource allocation allows real-time adjustments to VM resources.
CAS provides visualized management of VMs throughout their lifecycle, including creation, editing, starting, suspending, resuming, hibernating, restarting, shutting down, powering off, cloning, and migrating. It also supports snapshot creation and restoration.
CAS offers cluster-based management for reduced complexity and enhanced HA. It continuously monitors VMs and servers, providing mechanisms to restart or migrate VMs on failure. The system supports an optimized cluster file system and multiple storage protocols for easy HA implementation.
CAS DRS automates the migration of VMs to servers with available resources, ensuring efficient load balancing and resource access. It uses a heartbeat mechanism to monitor and balance CPU and memory usage, reducing administrative overhead and costs.
CAS monitors resource usage and reduces energy consumption by migrating VMs and shutting down idle servers. It can wake up servers as needed, enabling load balancing and energy efficiency.
CAS allocates compute, network, and storage resources as needed through quotas, reservations, QoS, and IOPS limits, ensuring SLA compliance and avoiding service interference.
CAS provides a GPU resource pool for managing and scheduling physical GPUs and vGPUs. It supports GPU passthrough and virtualization, streamlining resource provisioning for high-performance computing.
H3C CAS supports direct mapping of LUNs from SAN storage (FC or iSCSI) to virtual machines, allowing virtual machines to access raw devices and store virtual machine data directly on LUNs.
CAS supports IPv4 and IPv6, with customizable virtual firewall rules and distributed firewalls on vNICs, ensuring consistent security policies across VMs as they move between hosts.
CAS integrates with third-party security software for comprehensive protection without requiring agents inside VMs, ensuring security in virtualized environments.
CAS offers transparent, scheduled, and instant backup solutions, including snapshot-based backups and various backup methods (full, differential, incremental). The backup feature of H3C CAS is an efficient and low-cost disaster recovery feature, which will bring significant benefits to users.
