Infrastructure Challenges

Why enterprises need their own private cloud

Four compounding obstacles are driving enterprises away from public-only and legacy virtualization — toward sovereign, predictable infrastructure.

Runaway Licensing Costs

VMware renewal costs continue to escalate unpredictably. Enterprises need a proven migration path that reduces TCO by up to 70% without sacrificing reliability or forcing a full re-architecture.

Data Sovereignty & Compliance

Regulated industries — finance, healthcare, government — require full control over where data resides and who can access it. On-premises private cloud is the only architecture that guarantees compliance.

Operational Complexity

Compute, storage, and networking managed by separate systems force operations teams to switch between multiple consoles — creating silos, inefficiency, and a higher risk of human error.

Modernization Pressure

Traditional virtualization cannot natively support container workloads. Enterprises face rising pressure to unify VM and cloud-native environments under one governance model without a full rewrite.

Platform Architecture

One platform. Every infrastructure layer.

ZCF unifies the full stack — compute, storage, networking, and cloud management — in a single software-defined platform with zero vendor lock-in.

Fully Integrated Stack — Compute · Storage · Networking · Management · Hybrid Cloud
Layer 01 — Compute Virtualization
Multi-Architecture Compute

Unified management of KVM and VMware vCenter resources in a single interface. Supports the full spectrum of enterprise hardware — x86 and ARM64 — with VM live migration, HA, and intelligent scheduling built in.

KVM VMware vCenter x86 / ARM64 Bare Metal GPU / HPC
KVM and VMware vCenter side-by-side management — migrate without disruption
VM live migration, HA, and intelligent resource scheduling across clusters
x86 support: Intel Xeon, AMD EPYC, Hygon C86
ARM64 support: Kunpeng 920, Phytium S2500/D2000
Bare metal provisioning alongside VMs, managed from one interface
GPU and HPC workload support with pass-through and SR-IOV
Layer 02 — Storage & Network
Software-Defined Infrastructure

PB-scale distributed storage combined with high-performance network virtualization. SR-IOV delivers 2500% PPS improvement and 60% latency reduction. CDP enables second-level recovery points with minimal data loss.
