What is Elastic Physical Compute?

Kingsoft Cloud Elastic Physical Compute (EPC) provides on-demand, pay-as-you-go physical server leasing and hosting services, and provides high-performance, isolated physical server clusters dedicated for the cloud environment. EPC helps you build and expand high-performance applications quickly through secure, stable, and convenient computing services. You only need to determine the configuration and number of EPC instances, reducing the deployment and delivery time of the standard type to 30 minutes. Additionally, the provisioning, operations and maintenance (O&M) of physical servers will be performed by Kingsoft Cloud, helping you save time and costs.

Compared with self-built data centers, you can build your private cloud faster with Kingsoft Cloud EPC. Additionally, Kingsoft Cloud provides services such as Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), Server Load Balancing (SLB), NAT gateway, O&M, monitoring, and security protection.

EPC leasing is an exclusive physical server leasing service that provides actual physical server performance without CPU preemption and virtualization performance loss.
