Recently, Alibaba has been making frequent major moves. Yesterday, it launched the world’s first new manufacturing factory, and today it made another breakthrough in cloud computing. At today’s Alibaba Cloud Home Conference, Zhang Jianfeng, President of Alibaba Cloud, announced its first cloud computer, a supercomputer built on the cloud.
Zhang Jianfeng stated that by simply connecting the C-Key to the screen, users can access a dedicated cloud desktop, run various applications and files, and perform tasks such as office communication, design modeling, and animation rendering in the cloud at any time. In the future, everyone will be able to have a supercomputer on the cloud.
According to the introduction, this cloud computer supports unlimited scalability, and resources for a single application can expand to 104 CPU cores and 1.5TB of memory, easily meeting high-performance computing demands.
It supports on-demand performance configuration and costs only half as much as a traditional PC for the same performance. It also supports unlimited upgrades and does not need to be eliminated and replaced every 3 to 5 years.
All data is stored in the cloud and enjoys the same level of security protection as Alibaba Cloud data centers.
