Core challenges facing businesses

The contradiction between the architectural limitations of traditional data centers and growing business needs is accelerating enterprises' urgent need for hybrid cloud architecture.

Low resource utilization

Average server utilization in traditional data centers is insufficient20%, a large amount of physical hardware is idle or under low load, and operating expenses such as power and cooling continue to consume the budget.

Physical servers are independent and cannot flexibly allocate resources across hosts.
Capacity planning relies on empirical estimates, and the expansion procurement cycle can take several months.
40%+ of IT budgets are spent maintaining legacy infrastructure
Average TCO is 3-5x higher than hyperconverged architectures

Long lead time

IT resource applications must go through review, procurement, shelving, configuration, etc. The average requirement from request to environment readiness is6-12 weeks, unable to respond to rapid business changes.

Manually installing and configuring the operating system and middleware requires a lot of repetitive work.
Lacking a self-service portal, the development team relies on queuing operation and maintenance tickets
Scarcity of testing/pre-release environments slows down product iteration
Respond to business needs 5-10 times slower than competitors

Lack of cloud native support

Existing infrastructure cannot run Kubernetes and containerized workloads, hindering microservice transformation andDevOpsThe process is implemented.

The container orchestration platform cannot be deployed, and the new technology stack is blocked.
Traditional monolithic applications and modern microservices cannot be managed and scheduled uniformly
The CI/CD pipeline lacks a local operating environment and limits development efficiency.
Application modernization transformation is forced to delay or rely on public cloud

Data compliance constraints

Class insurance, insurance in finance, government, medical, manufacturing and other industriesGDPRRegulatory laws and regulations require sensitive data not to leave the country and be stored locally, so it cannot be directly uploaded to the cloud.

Data sovereignty regulations prevent core business data from leaving on-premises data centers
Industry compliance audits require complete data access logs and encryption evidence
Local deployment is unable to enjoy the innovative capabilities of cloud services, which puts it in a dilemma
The contradiction between compliance requirements and cloud innovation is becoming increasingly acute

Multi-cloud management fragmentation

Local data centers, public clouds and edge nodes work independently, with inconsistent strategies and scattered monitoring, requiring operation and maintenance teams to switch.3+ consoles

Different environments use different tool chains, and operation and maintenance knowledge cannot be reused.
Security policies and compliance baselines cannot be uniformly executed across platforms
Troubleshooting requires correlating logs across multiple systems, and MTTR remains high.
Operation and maintenance labor costs and complexity rise linearly with the growth of the environment

Security threats escalate

Hybrid architecture expands the attack surface, new threats such as ransomware and supply chain attacks occur frequently, and traditional security tools have limited coverage capabilities.Detection response is severely delayed

Local and cloud security policies are set separately, leaving protection blind spots.
Security logs are scattered across multiple systems and cannot be uniformly correlated and analyzed.
Lack of automated threat detection and incident response orchestration capabilities
Average vulnerability remediation time for hybrid environments exceeds 60 days
