DNA Sequencing

Scenario Description

OBS is a reliable, cost-effective system for storing massive amounts of data and features high concurrency and low latency. It works with compute services to help you easily build a DNA sequencing platform.

You can use Direct Connect to automatically upload data from the sequencer in your data center to the cloud. You can then perform data analysis on the compute cluster (including ECS, CCE, and MRS services), and the analysis results will be stored in OBS. After an analysis is completed, the source DNA data will be automatically stored in the Cold storage class in OBS, and the sequencing results can be distributed to hospitals and scientific research institutes over the Internet.

Intelligent Video Surveillance

Scenario Description

OBS provides reliable, inexpensive storage for virtually any amount of data. It features high performance and low latency and has a tiered storage class system (Standard, Warm, and Cold) to help reduce costs on storage.

You can upload surveillance videos recorded by cameras to the cloud over the Internet or using Direct Connect. Then segment the video files on the processing platform, which consists of ECS and ELB, and store video segmentation files in OBS. Later, you can download the video segmentation objects from OBS, and transfer them to terminal players.

Backup and Archiving

Scenario Description

OBS offers a highly reliable, inexpensive storage system featuring high concurrency and low latency. It can hold massive amounts of data, meeting the archive needs for unstructured data of applications and databases.

Enterprise Cloud Boxes (Web Disks)

Scenario Description

OBS works with cloud services such as ECS, ELB, RDS, and VBS to provide enterprise web disks with a reliable, inexpensive storage system featuring low latency and high concurrency. The storage capacity automatically scales as the volume of stored data grows.

Dynamic data on devices such as mobile phones, PCs, and tablets interacts with the enterprise cloud disk service system built on the cloud. Requests for dynamic data are sent to the service system for processing and then returned to devices, and the static data is stored in OBS. Service systems can process static data over the intranet. End users can directly request and read the static data from OBS. In addition, OBS provides the lifecycle management function to automatically change storage classes for objects, reducing storage costs.
