H3C CAS consists of the Cloud Virtualization Kernel (CVK) and Cloud Virtualization Manager (CVM) components, providing powerful data center virtualization and management capabilities.
CVK runs between the underlying infrastructure and the upper-layer guest operating systems (OSs). It isolates the guest OSs from the underlying hardware. The guest OSs accesses the infrastructure through CVK without having to concern about the varieties and complexities in hardware. CVK is essential to the performance of CAS in hardware compatibility, high reliability, scalability, and performance optimization in a virtual environment.
CVM manages virtualization of computing, network, and storage resources within the data center and provides automated services for upper layer applications. It provides services including virtual computing, virtual networking, virtual storage, high availability (HA), dynamic resource scheduling (DRS), dynamic resource expansion (DRX), GPU resource pool, virtual machine backup and recovery, KVM virtualization management, vSwitch management, high reliability management, virtualization security management, and log audit interfaces. In addition, it offers open northbound REST interfaces and plugins compatible with OpenStack to integrate with third-party cloud management platforms and standard OpenStack cloud platforms (including versions such as Liberty, Mikata, Pike), respectively, shielding the complex and heterogeneous virtualization infrastructure beneath.
