Highlights
ZCenter Management Platform is the centralized management platform of ZVF (ZStack Virtualization Framework). Its core capability is centralized multi-environment management of the ZStack ZSphere virtualization platform — bringing the compute, storage, and network resources scattered across multiple data centers and multiple virtualization environments into a single portal for unified viewing, operations, and management. Version 5.1.0 is the first official release of ZCenter Management Platform, providing resource management, content library, monitoring and alarming for operations, license and license pool management, and account and permission management.
ZVF integration: Unified Deployment and passwordless redirect
ZCenter is delivered together with ZStack ZSphere — upload the installation package through Unified Deployment in ZSphere to obtain a ZCenter Management Platform, with no separate environment required. After a ZSphere environment is connected to ZCenter, users that exist on both sides with the same username and the same authentication source can redirect from ZCenter to ZSphere without entering a password again.
Centralized multi-environment management of ZSphere
Manage multiple ZSphere virtualization environments centrally in one portal. View and operate hosts, virtual machines, data storage, and network resources of each environment from a single place, and perform routine management operations such as creating virtual machines.
Integrated monitoring, alarming, and operations
Provide a closed loop of monitoring, alarming, and operations for virtualization resources, covering resource usage monitoring, load optimization suggestions, alarm rules and messages, reports, tags, and operation logs.
Centralized license and license pool management
Provide centralized management of licenses and license pools, including license usage viewing, license pool distribution, and handling of disconnected environments, for unified governance of license resources across environments.
