GES Overview

Graph Engine Service (GES) facilitates query and analysis of multi-relational graph data structures. It is particularly well suited for scenarios requiring analysis of rich relationships, including social network analysis, marketing recommendations, social listening, information distribution, and fraud detection.

This document describes how to operate and analyze graph data on the GES management console.

The following figure shows the procedure to use GES.
