+Introduction
+=============
+
+``Qlib`` supports ``Online`` mode and ``Offline`` mode. Only the ``Offline`` mode is introduced in this document. 
+
+The ``Online`` mode is designed to solve the following problems:
+
+- Manage the data in a centralized way. Users don't have to manage data of different versions.
+- Reduce the amount of cache to be generated.
+- Make the data can be accessed in a remote way.
+
+Qlib-Server
+===============
+
+``Qlib-Server`` is the assorted server system for ``Qlib``, which utilizes ``Qlib`` for basic calculations and provides extensive server system and cache mechanism. With QLibServer, the data provided for ``Qlib`` can be managed in a centralized manner. With ``Qlib-Server``, users can use ``Qlib`` in ``Online`` mode. 
+
+
+
+Reference
+=================
+If users are interested in ``Qlib-Server`` and ``Online`` mode, please refer to `Qlib-Server Project <https://github.com/microsoft/qlib-server>`_ and `Qlib-Server Document <https://qlib-server.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_.
