Statement of Work (SOW)

Service Overview

As your cloud storage needs grow, you may encounter performance bottlenecks. For instance, you might require greater storage elasticity during service peaks or faster AI model training as data and parameters increase. Industries operating across the Internet have even more demanding storage requirements, including performance, security, and usability. Nevertheless, configuring storage resources to optimize service support can be challenging.

To satisfy your storage needs in various situations, Huawei Cloud has introduced the Cloud Storage Optimization Service (CSOS). This service evaluates your storage performance and offers optimization solutions to help you make the most of cloud storage while minimizing expenses.

    Applicable Scenario

    EVS Performance Evaluation and Optimization - Basic Package

    The performance of cloud storage (EVS) will be evaluated, and optimization solutions will be provided to improve reliability in different scenarios. These solutions include configuring image cache, provisioning elastic resources in batches, removing local disks, and designing high-performance storage solutions for big data and databases. Solutions for selecting EVS disk types will also be provided to meet diversified requirements.

    We offer performance evaluation and optimization solutions to address performance issues with cloud storage (EVS). For example, if you come from a medium- or large-sized enterprise, financial institution, or a government agency that suffers from a high local disk failure rate, we offer reliable, high-performance cloud storage solutions. If you work in industries such as video rendering and social media, we can provide you with robust cloud storage to handle sudden bursts of traffic, batch provision resources, and to scale out storage.
