Application Scenarios

IEC is designed for low-latency and local data storage scenarios, including Enterprise Applications, Interactive Live Streaming, Application Acceleration, and Self-built CDN.

Enterprise Applications

Figure 1 Enterprise applications

Scenario characteristics

IEC can be started from a single HomeZones be smoothly expanded to up to three HomeZones. IEC SLA is the same as that of Huawei public cloud.

Highlights

  • High availability: Consistent SLA with Huawei Cloud to ensure high reliability and stability of enterprise services
  • High security: In addition to platform-level services such as Anti-DDoS, information security, and Network Detection and Response (NDR), tenant-level security cloud services such as host security, database security, and Web Application Firewall (WAF) are also provided.
  • Diverse cloud native services: IEC supports more than 30 cloud native services, meeting the requirements of enterprise services for cloud services.

Interactive Live Streaming

Scenario characteristics

Deploying processing capabilities such as audio and video transcoding, distribution of on-screen comments, and content moderation at edge sites can significantly enhance service processing quality, improve response efficiency, and reduce traffic costs.

Advantages

  • Multi-architecture computing power: IEC provides multi-architecture computing power, such as GPU and AI, to improve the cost-effectiveness in scenarios such as HD transcoding and content moderation.
  • Traffic localization: helps optimize the cost of the bullet screen service.

Application Acceleration

Scenario characteristics

In application acceleration scenarios, such as game acceleration and application acceleration, edge nodes close to end users need to be selected and end-to-end network routing need to be optimized to reduce the end-to-end latency.

Advantages

  • Elastic scalability: On-demand resource usage and batch edge service creation effectively cope with burst workload requirements.
  • Efficient O&M: Unified management of multi-site resources and API-based service management, monitoring, and O&M

Self-built CDN

Scenario characteristics

Currently, most Internet enterprises or service providers lease IDCs to build their own CDNs, and they need to deploy and maintain a large number of edge nodes in multiple locations. To build and maintain your CDN more easily, you can use IEC that provides edge computing networks covering the Chinese mainland, global management, and automatic O&M capabilities.

Advantages

  • Wide coverage: Edge sites are deployed in major regions and provinces in the Chinese mainland.
  • Cost-effective: High-performance local storage instances with NVMe customized for the content distribution scenarios are available.
