You will find the technical documentation of GA here. In addition, Global Accelerator can be deployed and configured within several minutes, making service deployments faster and more agile. Global Accelerator features high network quality, high security, high availability, and low latency. Global Accelerator enables nearby access to the Internet and cross-region deployment of applications, improving the user experience of internet services. Global Accelerator is a network acceleration service, benefiting from the high-quality bandwidth and global transmission networks that are provided by Alibaba Cloud. Main public cloud providers such as Azure andĬan not provide a satisfying solution for this problem: using a Content Delivery Network(CDN) still results in content being transferred over public internet and also does not give any bandwidth guarantees. Therefore, latency of cross-region (including cross-border) data transfer is about at a factor three times bigger than usual.įor enterprise services or cross-region services, cross-border connectivity will be the worst bottleneck. Network latency between Mainland China and the rest of the world is inevitable, because of the unpredictable network connection. In such scenarios, Global Accelerator(GA) is a good choice to optimize the quality of service and latency.īased on the backbone network of Alibaba Cloud, a stable and low latency cross-region network can be created in just a few steps.Ĭross-border connectivity to Mainland China Often, however, the public internet bandwidth is limited and not reliable without any quality of service guarantees. More network vendors in between often lead to a decreased quality of service in terms of latency and packet loss.Ĭross-border bandwidth demand between different geographic regions is steadily growing due to an ever increasing need of global system and application integration projects. International network connections usually have to cross lots of different Internet Service Providers(ISP).
