Introduction
⚫ FusionDirector serves as a unified management software platform for intelligent
infrastructure O&M throughout the server life circle. It provides intelligent
deployment, intelligent identification, intelligent upgrade, intelligent maintenance,
and intelligent energy-saving management throughout daily O&M with support for
lowering major OPEX. FusionDirector improves O&M efficiency by 30% and saves
cost greatly. It ensures security in booting, performing, data stream, compliance
and decommissioning for full lifecycle user security system of xFusion servers.
⚫ FusionDirector provides Redfish standard port for integrated docking and is widely
used by carriers and enterprises in multiple scenarios of public cloud, private cloud,
AI, HPC, internet, safe city system and more
