Solution Background

With the growing maturity and adoption of cloud computing technologies, more and more enterprises are embracing cloud transformation in pursuit of lower costs, improved flexibility, and accelerated product innovation. However, during its transition to a hybrid cloud environment (comprising both private and public clouds), one enterprise encountered a series of challenges:

• How to centrally manage infrastructure resources scattered across multiple cloud environments?
• How to ensure data security and regulatory compliance while addressing the diverse resource demands of different business lines?
• How to achieve efficient operations and cost control in a cloud environment?

These questions became key barriers the enterprise needed to overcome.

Solution Overview

To effectively address these challenges, the enterprise deployed a Cloud Infrastructure Management Platform, built on a microservices architecture. This platform integrates core functions such as resource management, automated operations, security, cost analysis, and service governance, offering a unified solution for hybrid cloud management. Key capabilities include:

• Unified Resource Management: Provides a centralized interface to display and manage all computing, storage, and network resources across private cloud, public cloud, and on-premises data centers—enabling coordinated scheduling and optimized allocation.
• Automated Operations: Supports automated deployment, scaling, and failure recovery—minimizing manual intervention and improving operational efficiency and responsiveness.
• Security Protection System: Integrates firewall, intrusion detection, data encryption, and other mechanisms to ensure data security in transit and at rest, while meeting industry compliance requirements.
• Cost Analysis & Optimization: Delivers detailed cost reports to help the organization understand cloud resource usage by business unit, identify waste, and optimize cost structures.
• Service Governance & Monitoring: Establishes a comprehensive service governance framework with real-time performance monitoring to ensure service quality and stability, and quickly pinpoint and resolve issues.

Key Advantages

• Multi-Cloud Compatibility: Supports unified management across private and public clouds, enabling seamless integration and coordinated operation of resources.
• Intelligent Operations: Uses AI algorithms to predict resource demands, automatically adjust configurations, reduce human error, and enhance operational efficiency.
• Comprehensive Security: Builds a multi-layered security framework—from physical isolation to data encryption—to ensure data safety and privacy.
• Cost Efficiency: Achieves cost savings through granular cost management and resource optimization, maximizing return on investment.
• Flexible Scalability: Built on a microservices architecture, the platform supports fast iteration and expansion of new features as business needs evolve.

Customer Pain Points & Challenges

• Dispersed Resources & Difficult Management: Isolated resource islands across cloud environments and local data centers hinder unified scheduling and efficient utilization.
• Heavy Security & Compliance Pressure: High standards for data security and compliance are hard to meet using traditional management approaches under increasingly strict regulations.
• High Operations Costs: Manual operations are inefficient and error-prone, resulting in high O&M costs.
• Poor Cost Control: Lack of effective tools for cost analysis and optimization makes it hard to manage cloud spending precisely.
• Slow Business Response: Traditional infrastructure struggles to quickly respond to market shifts and business demand changes.

Customer Benefits

• Improved Resource Utilization: Unified management and intelligent scheduling greatly enhance resource efficiency and reduce waste.
• Stronger Security & Compliance: A robust security framework and compliance checks ensure data protection and reduce risk.
• Operational Efficiency Boost: Automated operations significantly reduce manual workload, increase accuracy, and cut costs.
• Significant Cost Savings: Granular cost control and optimized resource allocation reduce cloud usage expenses.
• Enhanced Business Agility: Rapid resource provisioning and flexible architecture empower business innovation and growth.
