[SMM Computing Flash] Huawei Ascend 910-B2 Monthly Rent of 15,000 Yuan Highlights Competitiveness, Cross-Regional Cluster Networking Becomes a Deployment Bottleneck

SMM learned that a carrier's intelligent computing center in East China is currently offering Huawei Ascend 910-B2 computing power resources for lease at a monthly rent of approximately 15,000 yuan, which is quite price-competitive in the current domestic computing power leasing market. The resources are of the Ascend 910-B2 specification (64GB video memory/full machine), suitable for mainstream large model training and inference workloads.

However, SMM understands that the actual clearance of these resources faces certain obstacles: the prospective lessee's existing computing equipment is deployed in its own IDC computer room, and it needs to integrate the newly leased resources with the existing equipment into a unified computing cluster to achieve coordinated scheduling. But the carrier's resources are located in a remote intelligent computing center, and due to constraints such as network latency, cross-room interconnection bandwidth, and operational consistency, the "device travel" solution (i.e., cross-room remote management of computing power resources to incorporate them into the client's own cluster) is difficult to implement, causing the transaction to stall.
