Weisuan Cost Comparison Case
Based on Appendix H of the business plan, Huawei benchmark data, and public industry sources, this case compares total cost of ownership across traditional and Weisuan deployments. In both large-scale infrastructure and lightweight AI adoption, Weisuan lowers the cost barrier and accelerates time to value.

Case One
1E Compute Infrastructure Comparison
Designed for regional intelligent compute centers and large-scale AI training or inference. With modular architecture, compute-storage disaggregation, and EBOF all-flash storage, Weisuan lowers build cost, scale-out complexity, and 3-year TCO simultaneously.
| Metric | Traditional | Weisuan | Delta |
|---|---|---|---|
| Initial build | 约 2.8-2.9 亿元 | 约 1.15-1.5 亿元 | Save about 55%-60% |
| 3-year TCO | 约 3.55-3.8 亿元 | 约 1.4-1.85 亿元 | Save about 58%-62% |
| Deployment time | 6-18 个月 | 2-4 周 | 90%+ faster |
| Resource utilization | 约 40% | 约 80% | Roughly 2x higher |
| Scale-out | 停机调试、周期长 | 热插拔，4 小时内完成 | No service interruption |
Basis and Notes
The estimate combines Huawei’s same-cost benchmark, storage savings from compute-storage disaggregation and EBOF, improved redundancy efficiency from erasure coding, and public NVMe-oF scale-out references. Combined, these point to a 58%-62% 3-year TCO advantage for the 1E scenario.
Case Two
1P Lightweight AI Startup Comparison
Built for video generation, ad material creation, marketing content workflows, and other lightweight inference or small-model tuning scenarios. Weisuan-B enables 1P local compute quickly, while the leasing model reduces startup cost to only ¥2,000 per month.
Leasing Highlight
¥2,000/mo
From just ¥2,000 per month, organizations can enable 1P of local compute. That is roughly comparable to about ¥40,000 worth of ChatGPT token usage, making it ideal for teams that want a low-friction way to start building on-prem AI capability.
| Metric | Self-built | Public cloud | Weisuan purchase | Weisuan leasing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | 80-120 万元 | 0 | 5 万元 | 0（月付 2,000 元） |
| 3-year TCO | 96-144 万元 | 约 105 万元 | 约 7.5 万元 | 约 7.2 万元 |
| Go-live time | 2-4 周 | 即时 | 48-72 小时 | 48-72 小时 |
| Data and compliance | 本地可控 | 数据在云端 | 数据不出域 | 数据不出域 |
Conclusion: in the 1P scenario, 3-year TCO can drop to about ¥72,000.
Compared with ¥960,000-1,440,000 for self-built infrastructure and roughly ¥1,050,000 for public cloud, Weisuan leasing better fits organizations that need local data control, fast deployment, and sustainable scaling on a constrained budget.
