About AISHU

Established in 2006 by Founder and CEO Frank He, AISHU operates as a big data infrastructure provider, concentrating on enabling organizations to manage and utilize their data. The company's name combines "AI" for AI insights and "SHU" for the digital circle it aims to build. Headquartered in Shanghai, the firm has expanded globally with R&D centers in several Chinese cities and international offices in Hamburg and Singapore, serving over 27,000 customers across more than 50 countries.

AISHU targets a diverse clientele, including government bodies, financial institutions, educational organizations, and enterprises in manufacturing and healthcare. Its business model appears to be rooted in a software subscription basis, offering licenses based on capacity or agent, with flexible subscription cycles designed to lower upfront costs for clients. The company also emphasizes building a robust partner ecosystem, collaborating with over 1,000 global partners like Huawei, Microsoft, and AWS to create a comprehensive data capability network. In June 2020, AISHU secured RMB 250 million (USD 35.2 million) in an investment round led by state-owned and state-backed funds, which was earmarked for growing its cloud computing capabilities and expanding its operational centers in Europe and Asia.

The company's product portfolio is built on a cloud-native architecture and includes several key offerings. AnyBackup provides data protection and recovery services, recognized for its market position in China. AnyShare functions as an intelligent content management platform for unstructured data, facilitating efficient collaboration, mobile work, and knowledge sharing. AnyRobot is an operations platform that utilizes machine data for intelligent IT operations, including monitoring and DevOps. AISHU is also developing AnyData, a cognitive intelligence framework, and AnyFabric, a data fabric solution, to further enhance its data service capabilities. In response to evolving technology, the company has ventured into AI by launching tools like the AnyShare Cognitive Assistant to support intelligent knowledge operations.
