Building on the concept of VMware, esurfing cloud has launched a new software-defined storage product called HBlock. HBlock is a lightweight storage cluster controller that operates in user mode. It can be installed on any Linux operating system as a regular application without root access, and deployed alongside other applications on the server. HBlock integrates unused disk space across various servers to create high-performance and highly available virtual disks. These virtual disks can be mounted to local or other remote servers using the standard iSCSI protocol, revitalizing storage resources on-site without impacting existing operations or requiring additional hardware purchases.<ref>{{Cite web |title=第二期观点｜天翼云存储资源盘活系统 HBlock，全面释放企业数据价值_云计算_InfoQ精选文章 |url=https://www.infoq.cn/article/HOTjbXqI4WmFSuhVjUDa |access-date=2024-04-16 |website=www.infoq.cn}}</ref>
