Recently, the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) announced the first batch of “Open-Source Foundation Model+” Software Innovation Application Typical Cases. Following a rigorous multi-dimensional evaluation by an expert panel—covering scenario innovation, technological advancement, and ecosystem collaboration—Futong Technology’s iCSP Intelligent CloudShare Appliance stood out from hundreds of outstanding submissions and was successfully selected.

The solution was recognized for its high-performance knowledge retrieval engine, seamless cross-cloud deployment capabilities, and plug-and-play experience tailored for vertical industry scenarios, demonstrating strong innovation value in the application of open-source foundation models.

Knowledge Management Transformation for Government and Enterprises: A Timely Imperative

Amid the accelerated pace of digital and intelligent transformation, both government agencies and enterprises are facing an explosive growth of unstructured data. Challenges such as fragmented knowledge, difficulty in retrieval, limited reuse, and poor circulation are directly impacting organizational decision-making efficiency and business agility. As a result, the effectiveness of knowledge management has become a foundational pillar of intelligent capabilities across organizations.

Positioned around a lightweight intelligent knowledge base, the iCSP Intelligent CloudShare Appliance integrates an embedded intelligent Q&A Agent and supports local deployment of foundation models, enabling enterprises to build a secure, controllable knowledge management hub. The solution empowers organizations to achieve efficient retrieval, precise application, and seamless circulation of internal knowledge assets.

Agent-Driven Knowledge Management Solution

The iCSP Intelligent CloudShare Appliance comes pre-integrated with Futong Technology’s self-developed “CloudShare” knowledge management platform, establishing an agent-centric knowledge hub built around intelligent Q&A capabilities. By addressing real-world pain points in enterprise unstructured data management, the solution integrates a local RAG-based retrieval engine, industry knowledge graphs, and model training technologies to comprehensively enhance knowledge circulation and application efficiency.

Key capabilities include:

• Second-Level Knowledge Availability
  Powered by enterprise-grade intelligent Q&A agents, the system supports precise cross-document question answering with one-click navigation to original document pages, significantly improving response speed and traceability.

• Enhanced Content Creation Efficiency
  Agents automatically generate summaries and assist in document drafting, reducing repetitive work and unlocking the reuse value of enterprise knowledge.

• Efficient Management of Massive Data Volumes
  Built on a PB-scale distributed storage architecture, the platform supports efficient management and rapid retrieval of billions of files, ensuring stable performance under high-concurrency conditions.

• Flexible Deployment with Robust Security
  Compatible with multiple cloud environments, supports single-GPU foundation model deployment, fully aligns with domestic innovation ecosystems, and provides fine-grained access control to meet high-security requirements.

Dual Product Forms for Flexible Deployment and Seamless Integration

To address diverse AI application scenarios, IT infrastructure conditions, and deployment requirements, CloudShare is offered in two standardized product forms—software edition and appliance edition—both designed to seamlessly integrate with existing enterprise digital foundations and maximize the protection of prior IT investments.

Software Edition: Lightweight, Flexible, and Easy to Integrate

• Multi-Cloud Compatibility
  Supports Kubernetes-based orchestration and scheduling, compatible with mainstream enterprise private clouds and public cloud environments.

• Identity Integration
  Seamlessly integrates with enterprise Active Directory (AD) environments, enabling rapid import of existing user data and efficient alignment with existing identity authentication systems. Based on the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), it ensures secure synchronization and unified management of identity information.

• Open API Ecosystem
  Provides comprehensive RESTful APIs and SDKs covering knowledge management, document processing, and AI inference capabilities, enabling easy integration with enterprise systems such as OA, Outlook, email platforms, and CRM for secondary development and deep business integration.

Appliance Edition: Plug-and-Play for High-Security Scenarios

Featuring a modular architecture, the appliance supports deployment across private cloud, public cloud, and hybrid cloud environments, flexibly accommodating IT environments and management requirements ranging from small and medium-sized organizations to large enterprise groups.

• Plug-and-Play Compute Deployment
  Supports foundation models ranging from 1.5B lightweight configurations to 671B full-scale deployments, overcoming compute constraints and enabling large models to run on a single GPU card. Compatible with multiple hardware ecosystems, including NVIDIA, Huawei, Cambricon, and Hygon, the solution handles both resource-constrained lightweight scenarios and large-scale, high-concurrency knowledge retrieval use cases within a single appliance.

• Rapid Adaptation to Vertical Scenarios
  By combining a local RAG engine with industry knowledge graphs and few-shot fine-tuning, the solution can be quickly adapted to vertical scenarios such as government knowledge services, financial document Q&A, and medical clinical decision support—achieving second-level go-live.

• Comprehensive Compliance and Control
  Provides fine-grained access control (8 roles, 16 permission types), end-to-end data encryption, and full compatibility with domestic innovation ecosystems. The solution strictly adheres to industry standards including ISO 15489 and GB/T specifications, enabling flexible deployment in highly regulated environments with system availability reaching 99.95%.

Driving Smarter and More Secure Knowledge Management

Compared with traditional solutions, the iCSP Intelligent CloudShare Appliance delivers a lower deployment threshold, higher intelligence level, and stronger compliance assurance through its plug-and-play deployment experience, robust compliance framework, and powerful AI enablement capabilities.

The solution has already established benchmark deployments across key industries including securities, insurance, manufacturing, government, and education—supporting a wide range of scenarios from knowledge management and R&D support to intelligent customer service and education and training.
