Alibaba Cloud Edge Node Service (ENS) brings the computation of your business and data to edge nodes nearby to help you achieve higher performance and lower costs.
ENS can be used in the following scenarios:
Wide coverage
ENS is suitable for the following scenarios:
- Online education
Online education has high requirements on interactions between clients. Stable links that have extremely low latency are a prerequisite for normal business. ENS provides the nearest access to edge nodes and interconnection between edge nodes to achieve interactive communication links that have low latency and high stability.
- SDN
Software-defined networking (SDN) vendors are committed to data transmission and provide high-quality, stable, and low-cost Internet content transmission solutions. The SDN architecture built on edge nodes can be used to construct and schedule low-cost and high-quality links.
- Interactive live streaming
To ensure a high-definition and smooth live streaming experience, nearby stream ingest and transcoding technologies are used to improve the network quality of links and reduce the loads on the core network. ENS provides the computing capabilities of edge nodes to help transcoding services run in a stable manner.
Traffic localization
Traffic localization is suitable for the following scenarios:
AI
The development of AI technologies promotes the growth of AI applications, increasing the computing workloads on data centers. Distributing AI computing power to edge nodes and performing AI computing nearby reduce the loads, processing latency, and bandwidth consumption of data centers.
