BYD, the world's top-selling new energy vehicle maker in 2025, chose Sangfor Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) to support its critical Manufacturing Execution System (MES) at an overseas industrial park, with a total deployment scale of 1,000 CPU cores.
The deployment helps BYD centralize IT resource management, improve business availability, and scale its infrastructure as needed. It also reduces infrastructure and maintenance costs while improving IT delivery efficiency, supporting the company's global expansion.
Company Overview: What Is BYD?
BYD, short for Build Your Dreams, is a global technology company known for its new energy automobiles, batteries, and related technologies. BYD cars are among its best-known products.
In 2025, BYD sold about 4.6 million new energy vehicles. This made BYD the world's top-selling maker of new energy vehicles.
BYD is expanding rapidly across Europe, growing its sales network and investing in local manufacturing. The company is developing a passenger car factory in Szeged, Hungary, and has announced plans to establish its European headquarters and research and development center in Budapest.
As BYD expands its global operations, its manufacturing facilities depend on reliable IT infrastructure to support essential production processes.
Challenges: Supporting Critical Manufacturing Systems Overseas
As BYD built an overseas industrial park, it needed reliable IT infrastructure.
This infrastructure had to support its Manufacturing Execution System (MES).
MES is a critical application for managing manufacturing operations.
The project focused on several key requirements:
- Business Continuity: Keep critical manufacturing applications running reliably.
- Centralized Management: Manage IT resources through a unified infrastructure platform.
- Flexible Scalability: Expand computing resources as business requirements grow.
- Cost and Efficiency: Reduce infrastructure construction and maintenance costs while improving IT delivery efficiency.
BYD needed an infrastructure platform that could address these requirements while supporting its global manufacturing operations.
