H3C｜CAS Cloud Computing Management Software
H3C CAS Cloud Computing Management Software delivers a fast, stable, and highly scalable platform that streamlines data centre deployment and simplifies day-to-day operations. By integrating computing, storage, networking, and security into a lightweight architecture, H3C’s solution can be deployed on a two-node server setup – enabling rapid launch with minimal infrastructure.
Through direct Ethernet interconnection and proprietary I/O acceleration, the two-node system achieves performance in the million-IOPS range, significantly shortening deployment timelines while enhancing operational efficiency and reliability.
