Market Guide for Server Virtualization Platforms
China Cloud System Software Market Report
ZStack Cloud Foundation delivers full-stack private cloud — unified compute, storage, and networking — deployable on any standard hardware in 30 minutes.
Four compounding obstacles are driving enterprises away from public-only and legacy virtualization — toward sovereign, predictable infrastructure.
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.
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.
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.
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.
ZCF unifies the full stack — compute, storage, networking, and cloud management — in a single software-defined platform with zero vendor lock-in.
Single-pane-of-glass dashboard for all resources. Multi-tenancy, RBAC, workflow approval, and metering built in — not add-ons. Native hybrid cloud integration connects private and public cloud without complexity.
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.
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.
Built from first principles for the modern data center — not assembled from legacy components.
From legacy modernization to disaster recovery — ZCF handles the workloads that matter most.
ZCF provides a proven migration path from VMware vCenter — UI-driven VM migration supporting all mainstream Windows and Linux systems, with disk order consistency guaranteed. Manage KVM and VMware side-by-side during the transition, then cut over when ready.
Built-in CDP enables second-level recovery points with minimal data loss. Multi-site replication supports local, cross-region, and hybrid cloud DR topologies. Meet the strictest RTO/RPO requirements demanded by regulators in finance and healthcare.
ZCF seamlessly interconnects both the control plane and data plane with Alibaba Cloud. Workloads move between private and public environments without complex reconfiguration — unified governance and policy enforcement across all environments.
ZCF runs on standard x86 and ARM64 servers from all major vendors — no proprietary hardware, no appliance lock-in.
5,000+ enterprises across 30 countries have chosen ZStack for mission-critical private cloud infrastructure.
