Specifically, Taoping’s smart cloud management platform is incorporated to allow for real-time server management and customized and diversified cloud computing service solutions like cloud desktop, cloud rendering, cloud games, AI services, and Blockchain applications.

TAOP now offers the new server products for sale to customers to allow customers’ deployment in addition to purchasing computer power and cloud services from TAOP.
