Empowering Your On-Premises Infrastructure with Alibaba Cloud's CloudBox Solution

Introduction to CloudBox

Alibaba Cloud's CloudBox is a fully managed solution that brings the power and flexibility of Alibaba Cloud's infrastructure and services directly to your on-premises data center. By deploying hyperconverged infrastructure, CloudBox offers computing, storage, and network resources tailored to meet your specific needs for data compliance, on-site data processing, and ultra-low latency requirements.

Seamless Integration

CloudBox is designed for easy integration into your existing infrastructure. By utilizing standard 42U racks and pre-installed components, setting up a CloudBox device is a straightforward process. Simply connect it to power, link it to your network, and perform a few simple setup operations. Once operational, you can access and manage computing and storage resources on the CloudBox device through the Alibaba Cloud public cloud console. Additionally, CloudBox allows you to leverage Alibaba Cloud's Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offerings, such as databases and container services, on your on-premises CloudBox infrastructure.

Key Benefits of CloudBox

CloudBox offers a range of benefits to enhance your operations. Firstly, it provides secure and auditable services, allowing you to access cloud resources with exclusive dedicated resources and comprehensive protection measures. Additionally, CloudBox helps lower unit computing costs by utilizing the SHENLONG architecture based on hyper-convergence technologies. Moreover, CloudBox ensures a consistent cloud service experience, enabling seamless migration of workloads between on-premises devices and the Alibaba Cloud public cloud.

Use Cases and Scenarios

CloudBox is well-suited for various use cases and scenarios. For on-premises data processing, CloudBox allows you to analyze large datasets locally before transferring results to the cloud, reducing costs and time associated with data transmission. In scenarios requiring ultra-low latency, such as industrial applications, CloudBox enables real-time computing on locally deployed hardware. CloudBox is also ideal for on-premises data residency requirements and centralized management of multiple branches.

Supported Services

CloudBox offers Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) capabilities, deploying computing, storage, and networking resources to your data center. Supported services include Elastic Compute Service (ECS), Elastic Block Storage, Object Storage Service (OSS), and Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). Additionally, CloudBox provides Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offerings, such as databases like ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL, container services, and Office on the cloud with Elastic Desktop Service (EDS). Cloud Center Services like Express Connect, Security Center, and Middleware solutions are also available.

Deployment and Management

Managing CloudBox resources is simple and centralized through the Alibaba Cloud console. From purchasing and configuring resources to monitoring and auditing usage, CloudBox streamlines the process. Deployment involves ordering CloudBox resources, installation and deployment by Alibaba Cloud, acceptance checks, and seamless usage. Unsubscribing from CloudBox services is equally straightforward when no longer needed.
