Sangfor’s Enterprise Application Platform delivers optimized performance
Sangfor Technologies is a leading global vendor of IT infrastructure solutions, specializing in Cloud Computing & Network Security with a wide range of products & services including Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI), Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), Next-generation Firewall (NGFW), Endpoint Protection (EPP), Secure Web Gateway (SWG), Network Detection & Response (NDR), Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), among others.
Enterprise applications are crucial to business operations, they cannot afford slow response times, intermittent disruptions, and security threats. To avoid these issues that can cripple productivity, the underlying infrastructure platform must be equipped with components to ensure performance, availability, resiliency, and security. Enterprise application platform is a tailor-made solution developed to run enterprise apps with such optimized performance.
In a typical enterprise setup, applications are distributed across different locations, including Core Data Centers, Remote Offices and Branch Offices (ROBO), Disaster Recovery (DR) sites, and off-premises Cloud Environments. Sangfor HCI (Hyperconverged Infrastructure) offers centralized management to enable seamless integrate and maintenance of workloads, regardless of their location.
Data storage is a key aspect of enterprise application platforms, often requiring the storage of various data types such as block, file, and object data. Sangfor aStor, an advanced Enterprise Distributed Storage system, complements Sangfor HCI to support a wide range of data types, ensuring the optimal performance of enterprise applications.
Inside-Out Security. Sangfor HCI consolidates computing, storage, networking, and security to create a simplified enterprise application platform. This simplification reduces solution integration risk and minimizes the attack surface. The platform includes the built-in aSEC security operation center that uses virtual security appliances.
Efficient and Scalable Storage. Sangfor HCI’s built-in block storage can be complemented by Sangfor aStor—a unified, distributed storage system that supports block, file, and object storage. This combination of HCI and aStor allows for a flexible and efficient storage layer within the SDDC, opening up possibilities for a wider range of business scenarios.
Local and Global Resiliency. Sangfor HCI provides local high availability (HA) through its data redundancy and integrated backup features. Additionally, Sangfor’s Disaster Recovery Management (DRM) solution offers off-site HA by replicating production workloads to the DR site. DRM allows HCI to stretch a cluster across two sites, establishing an Active-Active Data Center set up to ensure the best uptime for enterprise applications.
