Use Cases
Renewable Energy
Solar power and battery based energy storage are quickly becoming the norm. Software to power these systems has proliferated alongside of the actual solar panels themselves. This has also increased the complexity of managing the software on which these systems rely. Community Cloud presents a compelling solution to solar power and renewable energy providers to manage their software stacks so that they can rest easy and be sure that power is being provided reliably both night and day.
Data Sovereignty
In the modern day data is becoming increasingly common and data volumes are growing exponentially in size. With this explosion of data, privacy and data security have become incredibly important. This is especially true when dealing with cloud systems which will often have complex requirements around data security and privacy. Community Cloud makes setting up in-country clouds a straight-forward process in order to protect user privacy and comply with local data regulations.
Edge Infrastructure
For users located far from major population centers access to services is often complicated by low interconnect speeds, power disruptions, and underlying internet conditions. Community Cloud allows virtual clouds to be built at geographically distributed edge locations allowing services to be run with high performance even when overall network conditions make access to centralized compute either difficult or impossible.
AI and ML Training
Training for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are tasks requiring every ounce of compute power possible. When working with large datasets, processing power often goes to moving data around rather than actual training. Community Cloud makes setting up distributed training and inference systems a piece of cake so that training can occur where data lives rather than having to be sent across a continent.
High Speed & High Volume Storage
For workloads storing large amounts of data it is often financially untenable to host large data volumes with acceptable performance levels. With typical cloud systems, storing, processing, transferring, and accessing data can quickly run into the tens of thousands of dollars. Community Cloud allows local storage systems to be easily setup so that data processing pipelines and other storage tasks can be accomplished without having to resort to shipping hard drives or paying eye-watering amounts of money for straight-forward data storage.
