Replacing VMware on existing cluster servers does not always require a big-bang migration. SmartX’s approach is to use a temporary transition cluster as the bridge:

1️⃣ Build an SMTX OS temporary cluster on your legacy servers, then use the SMTX Migration Tool to move VMware VMs into the temporary SMTX OS cluster.
2️⃣ Install SMTX OS software on the original VMware cluster servers, serving as the production SMTX OS cluster.
3️⃣ Use SMTX OS cross-cluster hot migration to move the VMs from the temporary cluster to the production cluster without downtime.

This approach helps keep business VMs running continuously on the temporary cluster, while the SMTX Migration Tool uses multiple strategies to minimize downtime and protect business continuity. It also avoids the need to buy new hardware for both the temporary cluster and the production cluster, reducing infrastructure costs.

We’ve also seen a similar approach used by LESSO Group to replace its existing HCI platform and VMware virtualization with SmartX ECP active-active clusters. Learn more 👉 https://www.smartx.com/hk-mo/success-story/lesso-case-study

A global leader in piping manufacturing (LESSO) replaced legacy HCI and VMware platforms with SmartX ECP through a phased journey.

1️⃣ Replaced the previous HCI software with a SmartX ECP cluster serving as a temporary transit station to keep workloads running and reuse multi-vendor servers from the original cluster.
2️⃣ Repurposed the temporary cluster into active-active production clusters across two data centers. Gradually migrated VMware production VMs to SmartX ECP, with centralized management through CloudTower.

Today, SmartX ECP supports LESSO’s critical systems, including MES, SAP, and data platforms, while helping reduce hardware procurement costs, lower VMware-related software costs, and improve infrastructure resilience.

🔐 Is your cryptographic service ready for cloud-based workloads?

To address the limitations of standalone cryptographic devices, SmartX, Hygon Information, Koal Software, and Guotai Haitong Securities have jointly launched a cryptographic enterprise cloud solution that combines SmartX ECP, Hygon HCT-enabled processors, and Koal Software’s cryptographic service platform. The solution delivers:

✅ Centralized key management and cryptographic service governance
✅ Node-local, hardware-accelerated cryptographic processing
✅ HA across the cloud, cryptographic service, and chip layers
✅ Elastic cryptographic capacity that scales with compute resources

Already deployed for a mission-critical workload at Guotai Haitong Securities, the solution supports commercial cryptography compliance while improving performance and business continuity in high-concurrency, low-latency scenarios.
