Application Scenarios

  • As the preferred choice for ECSs to improve resource utilization and achieve compelling service performance

    HCE is an excellent choice for enterprises, financial institutions, and manufacturers planning to deploy or migrate their applications and services to the cloud.

    • Application-specific optimization: When database, big data, HPC, virtualization, and container applications are deployed in HCE, MySQL and Nginx services deliver better performance than when they are deployed in other OSs.
    • Faster startup: Only required basic components are loaded to suit specific ECSs, so they can bootup faster.
  • As the preferred choice for CCE containers to reduce costs and improve efficiency

    If online and offline services are deployed separately, lots of resources are left idle and the overall resource utilization is low.

    • Optimized CPU utilization: HCE uses a hybrid deployment engine and resource isolation technologies to ensure that the CPU usage of CCE containers reaches 40% to 60% while keeping the QoS lower than 1%. In this way, applications will not suffer from frame freezing and you can enjoy smoother experience.
    • Optimized auto scaling: HCE functions as an image that contains the minimum component set for CCE containers.
  • As an alternative to CentOS

    The discontinuation of CentOS has created significant challenges for the O&M of existing sites and the construction of new sites. HCE is a good solution because it is:

    • Secure and reliable: HCE attains MLPS 2.0 and CC EAL4+ certifications.
  • For cloud-device synergy

    HCE supports both cloud-based and device-side application development, making it an ideal choice for cloud-device synergy.

    Applications are developed in a way that the cloud and device sides work together (for example, APIs developed for device-cloud interaction), and resources can be flexibly expanded on demand while services are running. This helps applications to gain the strengths of both device and cloud.
