FusionCube 1000 Hypervisor & Data
In today's demanding IT environments, complexity can hinder agility and performance. The Huawei FusionCube 1000 Hypervisor & Data addresses this challenge with a powerful, pre-integrated data storage infrastructure built on a hyper-converged architecture. It combines a distributed storage engine, virtualization software, and cloud management tools into a single, streamlined platform designed for exceptional efficiency and reliability.
Engineered for on-demand resource allocation and seamless linear expansion, FusionCube 1000 provides a robust foundation for modern data centers. By simplifying deployment to under 30 minutes and unifying management, it allows IT teams to focus on strategic initiatives instead of routine maintenance. With industry-leading performance metrics, including over 100,000 IOPS per node and 1 TB data reconstruction in just 15 minutes, it is built to handle the most intensive enterprise workloads.
The Huawei FusionCube 1000 fundamentally simplifies IT infrastructure by converging compute and storage resources into a single, highly scalable building block. This HCI solution eliminates traditional IT silos, providing a unified pool of resources that can be dynamically allocated to support diverse applications like databases, VDI, and containers. The platform is built on standard rack servers, leveraging a mix of HDDs and high-speed NVMe SSDs to balance capacity and performance.
Efficiency is at the core of its design. The system incorporates built-in deduplication and compression functions, achieving a data reduction ratio of up to 3:1. This significantly reduces the physical storage footprint and associated costs. Furthermore, its advanced Error Correction (EC) parity enables an effective storage capacity of approximately 80%, maximizing your investment. All operations are managed through the centralized FusionCube Center, which provides comprehensive tools for performance monitoring, log auditing, one-click upgrades, and system health checks.
Selecting the right hyper-converged infrastructure is critical for meeting performance, scalability, and budget requirements. The Huawei FusionCube 1000 offers a range of configurations, and navigating these options to find the perfect fit for your specific workloads requires careful analysis.

Q: What is hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI)?
A: Hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) is an IT framework that combines storage, computing, and networking into a single, software-defined system. The Huawei FusionCube 1000 is an HCI solution that pre-integrates a distributed storage engine and virtualization software on standard servers to simplify management and improve scalability.
Q: What is the primary difference between the FusionCube 1000 (Hypervisor) and (Data) models?
A: The FusionCube 1000 (Hypervisor) model is a complete HCI solution that integrates both compute and storage resources to run virtual machines and applications directly. The FusionCube 1000 (Data) model is configured as a distributed storage block, providing a scalable, high-performance storage pool for existing compute environments. Nexus ITX can help evaluate which model best suits your architectural requirements.
Q: How does FusionCube 1000 ensure high performance for demanding applications?
A: The platform achieves high performance through a combination of its distributed architecture, support for NVMe SSDs, and high-speed 10 GE or 100 GE networking interfaces. A single node can deliver over 100,000 Input/Output Operations Per Second (IOPS), making it suitable for latency-sensitive workloads like databases and VDI.
Q: What data efficiency features are built into the FusionCube 1000?
A: The FusionCube 1000 includes built-in inline deduplication and compression functions that can achieve a data reduction ratio of up to 3:1. This helps maximize usable storage capacity and reduce the overall data center footprint.
Q: What virtualization platforms does the FusionCube 1000 support?
A: The system is compatible with major virtualization platforms, including Huawei's own FusionSphere (version 6.5.1 and later, or 8.0+ for Kunpeng servers) and VMware (versions 6.7U3 and 7.0), allowing for flexible integration into many enterprise environments.
Q: How is the system managed and monitored?
A: All management and operational tasks are centralized through the FusionCube Center software. This unified platform provides tools for managing VMs and storage, monitoring system performance and health, performing one-click upgrades, and auditing logs.
