Global Backbone

Cloud Enterprise Network provides a hybrid and distributed global network ideal for enterprise users with high demand on network coverage. With its stable transmission and next-generation network environment, the network provides high transmission speed and low latency for end-users.

Cloud Enterprise Network can be used to facilitate communication between VPC to VPC and VPC to IDC. Routing information in CEN can be learned and distributed automatically, which allows CEN to achieve fast routing convergence and improved network quality and security.

A few of CEN's advantages are mentioned below.

Bandwidth sharing - Bandwidth package is shared by regions included in the network's inter-geography and Interregional bandwidth can be allocated on demand.

Simple and Reliable - Any network instances which are attached to CEN can communicate with each other using the High speed and low latency communication between any two network instances within CEN

Easier Network management - Routing information is learned and distributed automatically so that the overall network route can be converged quickly avoiding any heavy routing configuration and management

Last Mile Connection

Last mile connectivity provides a critical component of a global network. Alibaba Cloud's SD-WAN product Smart Access Gateway, relies on a combination on a Highly Available hardware deployed to customer premises and a set of PoPs deployed globally to interconnect these locations with Alibaba Cloud's global backbone network.
