Introducing SmartX HCI in 360 Seconds

Promotions that directly or indirectly introduce products or services on the SmartX official website are "advertisements" (except for information such as configuration and functional specifications, after-sales technical support services, etc.).

The "0-0-1-1" experience must be used or operated in a specific manner, and certain conditions should be met. The "resource optimization" action refers to batch operations that perform "move to recycle bin" on virtual machines in the preset rule "long-term shutdown virtual machine" or virtual machines in a self-created rule with the metric "power state" and the power state "shutdown"; it also refers to batch operations that perform "shutdown" on virtual machines in the preset rule "zombie virtual machine" or a self-created rule with the metric "power state" and the power state of "non-shutdown". The "log collection" operation refers to creating a log collection task with default values. "1 interface" refers to the CloudTower™ software user interface running in a web browser, which requires prior operations such as "create data center" or "associate cluster" to manage data centers and clusters.
