Basic Concepts

CBH Instance

A CBH instance corresponds to a CBH system that runs independently. Users can log in to the CBH console to buy and manage CBH instances. A user can log in to a CBH system to perform secure O&M management and auditing only after the user has purchased a CBH instance.

Single Sign-On

Single sign-on (SSO) is an authentication scheme that allows a user to log in with a single ID and password to any of several related, yet independent, software systems. After logging in to one of those application systems, the user can access all other related application systems without having to using other credentials.

Number of Assets

The number of assets refers to the number of resources running on a cloud host managed by CBH. One cloud host may have multiple resources, including protocols and applications running on it.

For example, for a cloud host managed in a CBH system, if two RDP, one Telnet, and one MySQL host resources and one Google Chrome browser application resource are added for this host, the number of managed assets is five instead of one.

Concurrent Requests

The number of concurrent requests indicates the number of connections established between a managed hosts and the CBH system over all protocols at the same time.

For example, if 10 O&M engineers use a CBH system at the same time and each engineer generates five protocol connections (such as remote connections through SSH and RDP), the number of concurrent requests is 50.
