    The cloud platform divides security zones based on business functions, security protection levels, access requirements, etc., to achieve secure interactions between zones. It ensures compliance with hierarchical protection standards through four layers of security: network security, data security, business security, and data and account security.

Tunnel Solutions

Business Challenges：In environments where multiple complex devices and systems coexist, frequent data interaction occurs between internal and external field systems, with high real-time requirements. The video data has high traffic, placing significant demands on AI computing power. The automated and intelligent control systems, which are based on industrial protocols, require high compatibility. There are numerous molecular business systems, each demanding high levels of isolation. Additionally, the use of 3D graphical and modeling technologies such as BIM and AR demands substantial GPU computing power.

Plan Value：

  • Support GPU Passthrough and vGPU

    Cloud platforms offer three modes of GPU capabilities: GPU passthrough, GPU virtualization, and GPU resource pooling. These modes support the computational power requirements of applications such as traffic video processing, visual analysis, AI applications, and 3D graphics and modeling applications like BIM.
