World-class Universities
The ZStack ZSphere virtualization platform was adopted to meet the urgent demands of high-performance computing (HPC) and GPU-accelerated business applications. Leveraging its lightweight architecture, exceptional performance, and ease of use, the platform successfully addressed the challenges faced by the medical school of a “World-class Universities” in virtualization and GPU application scenarios

With the deepening of digital transformation, traditional IT architectures are increasingly unable to meet the rapidly growing business demands. Facing the increasingly complex medical data analysis requirements, the main challenge for the medical department of a World-class Universities was finding a virtualization platform that could support complex algorithm analysis. After testing multiple commercial and open-source products, the medical department ultimately chose the ZStack ZSphere virtualization platform due to its lightweight features, compatibility with the operational habits of other vendors, and ability to support existing physical servers.

ZStack ZSphere virtualization platform was selected as a leader in the “2024 China Virtualization Market Research Report” by CCID Consulting. The report highlights that ZStack ZSphere, as a server virtualization platform, possesses high autonomy, stability, performance, and security, meeting the standards of enterprise-level virtualization products. It enables the secure and reliable upgrade of data center infrastructure, intelligent unified operation and maintenance, and supports seamless V2V migration, ensuring the stability and security of business operations.

The solution provided by ZStack allows users to deploy the virtualization platform using existing servers, simplifying the deployment process and greatly lowering the threshold for operation and maintenance management. Additionally, ZStack ZSphere supports IB network cards, solving the issue of long MAC addresses in the medical department, further improving network performance and providing the medical department with an efficient computing environment.

Once the platform is deployed, the ZStack ZSphere virtualization platform will support the testing and development of medical application algorithms, and through GPU support functionality, quickly implement GPU-based business application scenarios, further accelerating the innovation process of medical research and clinical applications.

By introducing the ZStack ZSphere virtualization platform, the medical department of the university will gain the following significant advantages: cost-effective technology solutions ensuring fast delivery and implementation, lowering the operation and maintenance deployment threshold, and supporting users to perform self-service deployment as needed. The flexible architecture design allows for future additions of centralized storage, distributed storage, high-performance storage, and other features based on demand.
