CloudBox is suitable for scenarios that require on-premises data processing, data security, and multiple branches with low latency.
Data processing in the on-premises data center
Scenario description | Sample scenario | Benefits of using CloudBox |
Several scenarios involve a large volume of data. If you want to transfer data to the cloud and process the data, you are limited by bandwidth or time. You are also charged traffic fees. In this case, a large volume of data must be processed in an on-premises data center. | AI model training and rendering and data analysis of traffic videos | CloudBox allows you to process a large volume of data in an on-premises data center in real time and upload the processed data to Alibaba Cloud public cloud for archiving. This helps you reduce data transmission costs and time. |
The following figure shows how on-premises data processing is performed.
Low latency in the on-premises data center
Scenario description | Sample scenario | Benefits of using CloudBox |
Several enterprises want to collect on-premises data information, calculate and process a large amount of data, and then manage the operations of devices based on the processed data. In these cases, low latency is required. For example, manufacturing execution systems (MES), high-frequency trading, and medical diagnostic systems require near-real-time data computing capabilities that provide millisecond-level latency. | Industrial parks, industrial manufacturing, and warehouse management | CloudBox can be deployed to a specified on-premises data center to facilitate interaction with on-premises devices and meet the requirements of low-latency applications. |
The following figure shows how CloudBox ensures low latency.
Data security
Scenario description | Sample scenario | Benefits of using CloudBox |
Data must be stored in an on-premises data center in several scenarios to meet regulatory, compliance, and data security requirements. | Industry associations, transportation, airlines, and hospitals | You can deploy CloudBox in a specified on-premises data center to meet your requirements for data security. You can also use cloud boxes to access a large number of cloud services in Alibaba Cloud public cloud. |
The following figure shows how CloudBox provides data security.
Centralized management of multiple branches
Scenario description | Sample scenario | Benefits of using CloudBox |
| Intelligent communities and factories. | Alibaba Cloud provides infrastructure O&M for CloudBox. You can also use the Alibaba Cloud public cloud console to manage your business in a centralized manner. This reduces O&M costs. |
The following figure shows how CloudBox manages multiple branches in a centralized manner.
