AI Made Easy for Businesses

HONG KONG, Dec. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- HKBN Enterprise Solutions (HKBNES) has joined forces with one of mainland China's leading IT and digital transformation service providers, Futong Technology, to become its first distribution partner in Hong Kong, offering a comprehensive suite of cutting-edge solutions, including the groundbreaking "Private AI Cloud-in-a-Box".

The development of AI Generated Content (AIGC) technologies is advancing rapidly, gaining widespread priority across many industries. According to a recent market study published by iResearch[1], the AIGC industry in China is projected to reach a scale of RMB 720.2 billion by 2028, with expectations to surpass RMB 1.14 trillion by 2030.

The rise of "AI-in-a-box" type solutions has emerged as a highly transformative trend among mainland Chinese technology firms. These solutions not only lower the technical barriers and costs associated with using AI data models across various sectors but also address potential data security concerns. Through its collaboration with Futong Technology, HKBNES aims to introduce products and applications developed by Futong Cloud (subsidiary of Futong Technology), specifically the "Supool Large Model All-in-One Server", to businesses in Hong Kong.

By offering the "Supool Large Model All-in-One Server" as a Model-as-a-Service (MaaS) solution provided exclusively through HKBNES in Hong Kong, enterprise customers will gain integrated access to AIGC-related hardware, software, and services, streamlining computational power deployment, resource scheduling, model repository, and the model inference requirements needed to build AI models. In addition, a pioneering use of container and Kubernetes technologies allows for efficient sharing and management of CPU, GPU, and other resources, enhancing resource utilization rates by up to 75% versus traditional legacy methods, thereby significantly increasing computational efficiency. 

Looking ahead, the partnership between HKBNES and Futong Technology will broaden to encompass artificial intelligence, big data, and cloud computing, including Supool Intelligent Enterprise Document Sharing All-in-One Solution to enhance knowledge management levels within enterprises. This initiative aims to unleash AIGC applications in sectors such as government, enterprises, education, and healthcare while tackling data security and compliance issues to develop a self-sustaining AI model application ecosystem within secure and controlled environments. 

Dr. Denis Yip, President and Group Chief Operating Officer of HKBN, said, " AI is becoming a critical driver of innovation and growth in the digital economy. Our partnership with Futong Technology opens the gate for innovative one-stop solutions, empowering local enterprises to effectively harness the power of AI. This partnership is set to redefine operational strategies, enabling enterprise customers to adapt faster, seamlessly integrate with AI application ecosystems, drive digital transformation, and maximize efficiency."

Chen Jian, Chairman of Futong Technology, said, "We are eager to work with HKBN Enterprise Solutions, as this collaboration represents a pivotal step for Futong Technology in helping clients across many more industries advance into the AIGC space. By merging our leading technological strengths with HKBN's local expertise, we aim to deliver safer, more efficient, and compliant AI solutions for the Hong Kong market, empowering enterprises to innovate and grow in the digital economy."
