Nexa AI's local deployment model demonstrates five dimensions of differentiated value when compared to cloud-based services:
- Data sovereignty safeguards: Sensitive data (e.g. medical records, financial information) is retained in the local network throughout the entire process, eliminating the possibility of third-party access and meeting strict compliance requirements such as GDPR.
- <strong]Reliability Advantage: Independent of network connection, service continuity can still be guaranteed in unstable network environments such as field operations and factory floors, with a significant increase in Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF).
- <strong]Delay-sensitive scenarios: In scenarios such as real-time object detection for autonomous driving and instant response for industrial robots, the latency of local inference can be controlled in milliseconds, which is 10-100 times faster than cloud services.
- <strong]Long-term cost structure: While initial deployment costs are higher, ongoing API call costs are eliminated, and TCO (total cost of ownership) over 3 years is typically better than cloud solutions.
- <strong]Customization potential: Supports private fine-tuning of models and hardware-specific optimizations that are difficult to provide with standardized cloud services.
Of course, there are trade-offs to be made in local programs:
1) Need to maintain hardware infrastructure on your own
2) Model update needs to be done manually
3) Peak power is limited by local device performance
Therefore, it is most suitable for business scenarios with high data sensitivity and long-term stable operation, such as the anti-fraud system of financial institutions and the intelligent quality inspection line of the manufacturing industry.
