IT Infrastructure for Research & Higher Education

Overview

SmartX provides modern, production-validated IT infrastructure for universities and research institutes. Our lightweight, decoupled cloud platform helps customers with domestic-chip migration, VMware replacement, smart campus, and research innovation platforms, delivering solid support for teaching, research, and administration to speed up digital transformation.

Benefits

Ready-to-serve cloud infrastructure. Production-ready hyper-converged foundation builds a private cloud with integrated security, operations, cloud-native, and AI capabilities, starting from three nodes to support smart campuses and AI use cases.

High-performance support for peak periods. Handles enrollment, graduation, and course-selection peaks with dynamic scheduling and load balancing, ensuring smooth operation of core academic systems.

Visual operations and automated health checks. Full-stack monitoring of VMs, internal network traffic, and resource usage, with automated inspections to reduce operational costs.

Full-stack domestic-chip readiness. End-to-end ecosystem enables smooth migration to domestic hardware while preserving continuity and security.

Enabling Sovereign Smart Education

Under the drive of "new education infrastructure" and domestic-chip initiatives, building a secure, controllable IT platform has become industry consensus. SmartX's enterprise cloud platform boasts over 95% code autonomy and offers full-stack domestic-chip ecosystem adaptation from chips and servers to operating systems and databases. It has helped numerous universities complete the domestic-chip transformation and migration of core business systems, achieving a smooth transition from "usable" to "production-ready", laying a digital foundation for smart education and research innovation.
