Dayou Futures

Dayou Futures, a financial institution headquartered in Changsha with diverse services spanning commodity futures and financial futures brokerage, actively responded to national technology development policies by piloting non‑x86 architectures and advancing a digital transformation strategy. Faced with the limitations of its legacy VMware virtualization platform—particularly in non‑x86 compatibility and performance scalability—the company required a cloud infrastructure capable of integrating heterogeneous CPU architectures and operating systems while meeting the high‑performance, secure, and stable requirements essential for financial services operations.

Dayou Futures ultimately adopted ZStack ZSphere to build a non‑x86 data center. By replacing the existing VMware environment and constructing a highly compatible, smoothly evolvable cloud infrastructure, the company established a solid foundation for future business expansion and technology upgrades.
