Business Challenges
-
Surges in Service Requirements
Access traffic can surge to hundreds of times the normal level in promotions, sweepstakes, and flash sale events. As a result, servers become overloaded, system response turns sluggish (leading to customer loss), bandwidth is fully occupied, and the entire environment may go down.
-
Poor User Experience
E-commerce services involve processing massive amounts of static data (including product pictures and videos), and such data is usually stored on servers, which is time-consuming and costly. During access to e-commerce websites, users in different network environments may experience delayed page access.
-
Lack of Data Support in Business Decision-making
User, commodity, and transaction data cannot be efficiently analyzed due to lack of capability in existing platforms and analysis tools. As a result, investment in e-Commerce is high but the rate of order placement is low.
-
Compromised Security
E-commerce enterprises encounter risks in various processes, such as external URL linkup, discount apply, ordering, payment, delivery, and review. The vulnerabilities may come from library hitting and explosion, bonus hunter, scalpers, DDoS attacks, account leakage, and Trojan horse implants.
Typical Scenarios

Comprehensive Protection
Online Promotion and Flash Sale
Scale compute resources up and down to ensure your services remain tuned to in-the-moment requirements.
Elastic load balancing
ELB automatically expands load distribution capabilities based on the traffic, supports a maximum of 100 million concurrent connections, and adopts redundancy design. If a single node is faulty, services are not interrupted, ensuring high service reliability.
Dynamic expansion
ECS and RDS provided by HUAWEI CLOUD can be dynamically extended based on preset scaling policies to cope with service peaks arising from large-scale promotion and flash-sale events, thereby ensuring service stability during the high-access periods.
Static Resource Acceleration
Provides five-line dynamic Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), separates dynamic and static content, and delivers excellent user experience
High-quality network
HUAWEI CLOUD provides five-line dynamic BGP to solve issues in network latency, ensuring fast access for users in different network environments. In addition, VPN and Direct Connect facilitate connections between services in the cloud and in the self-hosted data center.
Smooth user experience
E-commerce businesses process a large amount of static data, including product pictures and videos. This data is traditionally stored in servers, which is time-consuming and costly. OBS acts as a resource pool and hosts the e-commerce static data. OBS uses an architecture that separates dynamic and static web contents and combines CDN to improve content loading speed and user experience.
Precision Marketing Powered on Big Data Analytics
Realizes precision marketing powered on big data analytics.
Data analysis
Using Hadoop, Spark, and HBase, MRS processes user data efficiently, analyzes user behavior trends, and provides data support in product display, promotion, and O&M as well as personalized recommendations. This helps e-commerce enterprises adjust the direction of business operations and improve return on marketing investments.
Data storage
Data analysis involves massive volumes of raw and result data, which means enterprises need cost-effective and massive storage space that can be expanded and managed with ease. OBS allows enterprise to store large amounts for data (up to 5 TB) for short periods until they can build their own space or for extended periods with headache-free manageability. Planning of storage space is no longer a huge stressor and you only need to pay for the space you use.
