FusionSphere
Concept
A Huawei-developed cloud operating system (OS) designed for multiple industries.
Specially for cloud design and optimization, provides:
Powerful virtualization and resource pool management functions.
Various cloud infrastructure service components and tools.
Open operation and maintenance (O&M) application programming interfaces (APIs).
Horizontally consolidates physical and virtual resources in data centers and vertically
optimizes the service platform, simplifying cloud computing deployment.

OpenStack Plug-in Extension
Involve OpenStack to Support Huawei Cloud Computing Datacenter Scenarios, the UVP system
installed on FusionCompute is based on KVM, which is different from the scenario when
OpenStack is not involved.
Currently, the VMs in FusionSphere OpenStack cannot connect to the VMs in FusionSphere which
does not use OpenStack.

UltraVR deployment
UltraVR is used in traditional IT provisioning. The administrator deploys the DR solution for
service departments.
UltraVR supports the DR plan for VPCs provisioned by FusionManager. However, UltraVR
does not provide organization-level self-service DR due to limitations of its DR services.

FusionSphere Cloud Data Center
Cloud data center and multiple data centers:
Local FusionManager and top FusionManager must be deployed on the same VM.
Local management provides a portal for OpenStack management and maintenance. Top FusionManager provides a
portal and automation functions for tenants.
The FusionManager connects to multiple OpenStack instances to manage the resources in data centers.
Multiple data centers share one FusionManager for service provisioning, automation application functions, and
centralized hardware resource management.
