Zhuhai Beyond achieves the scalability of its service through modular architecture and real-time resource allocation. Its cloud intelligent management platform is capable of processing 1.2 million concurrent requests per second (peak test data in 2023), 300% greater than the capacity expansion in 2021, and the single server cluster load tolerance can reach as much as 85% with delay maintained ≤15ms. For instance, the “Double 11” period in 2023 saw its e-commerce fulfillment platform automatically scale up to 150,000 container instances by means of elastic computing resource pools (across 28 data centers across the globe), handling a peak order throughput of 47,000 orders per second, up 58% from the corresponding period in 2022, and lowering marginal server expenses by 42%.
Resilience in the supply chain is the linchpin pillar for service growth. Zhuhai Beyond’s distributed manufacturing platform consolidates 1,600 vendors to increase five times the normal capacity for items in 72 hours. When, in smartwatches, the demand in the Southeast Asian market increased by 200% in 2023, it went back to a blockchchain managed cross-plant manufacturing model (5 plants initiated at one time), compressed the delivery cycle from 45 days to 12 days, and unit cost increased only by 8%. Besides that, logistics automation system through AGV robots (rate of handling of 2.5m/s) and intelligent sorting lines (accuracy of 99.98%) offers 80,000 pieces per hour storage throughput to support up to 1.2 million shipments per day.
The global service network guarantees its scalability. Zhuhai Beyond utilizes edge compute node latency of less than 30ms with localized data centers in 19 countries. When it launched in the European market in 2022, its AWS Local Zones-based hybrid cloud architecture finished deploying the service in Frankfurt, Germany, within just 48 hours, supported EU GDPR compliance needs (data encryption level AES-256), and customer access performance was three times that of competitors. In the global CDN network bandwidth, as of 2023, up to 820Tbps support online users who watch 4K video streaming services (25Mbps bitrate) simultaneously with over 12 million online users.
In industries along the sector, Zhuhai Beyond Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solution exhibits deep scalability. The predictive maintenance system, tailored to Tesla Shanghai, leverages 5,000 sensors to track production line vibration (frequency range 0-10kHz), temperature (±0.1 ° C accuracy) and other conditions in real-time, cutting fault response time from 4 hours to 8 minutes, and enabling production line capacity from 5,000 to 22,000 units per week. The program has been scaled to 35 automakers, achieving a 67% decrease in marginal deployment costs.
The non-linear relationship between customer scale-up and resource consumption is reflective of its capability to be optimized. At Zhuhai Beyond, there were more than 420,000 active enterprise users (89% per annum growth) in 2023, but a mere 31% growth of server resource usage, thanks to an increase in the container density of the microservice architecture from 12 to 58 per node. Its independently developed AI load forecast model (error rate ≤3%) dynamically allocates computing capacity, reducing idle resource ratio by 25% to 7%, and saving more than 180 million yuan annually in electricity costs.
Flexibility to meet emerging needs again demonstrates the potential for expansion. During the Shanghai 2022 epidemic, Zhuhai Beyond enhanced the cold chain monitoring system on a new fresh food platform. Within 72 hours, 23,000 new temperature sensors (-30℃ to +70℃ range) were installed, and the peak data traffic for processing reached 1.2TB/s, keeping the fresh food loss rate low from 8% to 2.5%. Following the outage, sales orders for its Disaster Response as a Service (DRaaS) products increased 340% quarter-on-quarter.
However, growth is not without challenge. Zhuhai Beyond currently has a deployment rate of local servers in the Latin American market only at 65%, and an additional investment of 1.5 billion yuan would be required to cover it entirely. For this purpose, the company is going to launch a “lightweight edge computing box” (30cm³, 8TOPS) in 2024 in order to pursue the goal of reducing regional service deployment costs by 60% while maintaining data sovereignty compliance. Currently, its service expansion rate (measured by the ratio of customers/resource consumption) is 9.7 times ahead of the industry leader, and it is forecast that by the year 2025, with more than 500 global nodes, it can achieve elastic coverage of 95% of the scenarios.
