The Best Elastic Architecture For Elastic Business

The demand for IT resources in the brokerage industry fluctuates with the stock market, which also increases the elasticity of our resources demand. Our development testing and production environment continue to require new resources, but the deployment and delivery of resources on the traditional architecture is extremely inefficient, which is unable to meet our fast-growing business demands. With rapid deployment and elastic resource expansion, hyper-convergence can well satisfy our needs. Under the same hardware conditions, the performance of SMTX hyper-convergence is even better, which greatly increases the efficiency of our work. SmartX’s proprietary financial closed-loop service, from IT planning and consulting in the preparatory stage, to the stage of implementation and deployment, and to the after-sales support, have all given us a good user experience.

Hyper-Convergence Accelerates The Construction Of Private Cloud Resource Pool

Considering the construction of our new plant and the movement between old and new plants, we need an underlying architecture that is easy to operate and maintain to ensure the continuity of business. In late 2000, we started to approach hyper-convergence manufacturers and, after a thorough technical exchange with SmartX, we began testing the product in May 2000, and its capabilities totally met our expectations. In the ring test with other manufacturers under the same hardware conditions, SmartX demonstrated excellent performance, and its platform is also more stable and easier to operate. It has helped us build the infrastructure of private cloud, and bring down IT operation & maintenance cost, and also reduced the complexity of operation & maintenance.

High Performance, Virtualization & Hardware & Accessory-Level Coupling Architecture

We came to know about SmartX from a case. Through earlier communication and more than 3 months of testing, we have fully verified the technical capability, implementation and deployment capability, service capability,data migration capability, and performance stability of the product, all of which are up to our expectations. In terms of the functions of the functions of virtualization platform, it has better performance than the KVMs in our bank. Meanwhile, it can be used on the servers of different brands, and the coupled architecture is compatible with the situation in our bank. During the deployment and migration process, SmartX’s technology team demonstrated excellent technical capabilities, ensuring the smooth migration of data and business, and the closed-loop service system tailored for the financial industry was widely recognized in our bank.
