"Alibaba Cloud's CDN service is ideal for businesses that distribute large amounts of content on the internet. Since Gitiho’s main product consists of high quality video courses, ensuring low latency when delivering the courses to students is a big challenge when the number of students grows rapidly. After witnessing the advantages of Alibaba Cloud's CDN service, Gitiho is convinced that it is the perfect choice for its course delivery platform."

About Gitiho

Gitiho is an educational technology (edtech) startup with a mission to help working people learn any skill online. The company's vision is to become a leading platform for developing professional skills for individuals and corporate clients in Southeast Asia.

Founded in early 2020, Gitiho has become the number 1 online learning platform in Vietnam and an important partner in the field of personnel training for banks and multinational companies in Vietnam.

Challenge

Nowadays, online learning and teaching has become a steadily growing trend all over the world. Driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, many educational institutions and individuals have resorted to online education services to cope with the ever-changing social and geographical restrictions. This has caused a significant increase of concurrent internet connections, account creation, and bandwidth for accessing online learning sites, especially for high-quality online learning sites such as Gitiho.

In order to provide the best learning services to its customers, Gitiho was looking for a trusted, high-performing, and cost-effective cloud service provider to successfully handle the growing volume of incoming traffic, manage large amounts of information, and ensure business continuity regardless of the challenge.

Why Alibaba Cloud

Alibaba Cloud is recognized for its technological innovation, especially in large-scale computing and data storage middleware. In addition, Alibaba Cloud has data centers spread across 29 major geographic regions, operating over 87 zones worldwide. It also has more than 3,200 CDN nodes and provides services to more than 200 countries and regions all over the world. In Vietnam, Alibaba Cloud also has a strong CDN system with many nodes that provide high bandwidth, making it an ideal choice for fulfilling Gitiho's requirements. With the 99.5% guaranteed uptime service-level agreement (SLA), Alibaba Cloud ensures high availability and smooth application operations for Gitiho even during heavy traffic peaks.

Architecture

Gitiho leveraged Alibaba Cloud Content Delivery Network (CDN) to accelerate the application frontend access, reduce loads on origin servers to prevent network congestion, and secure route to CDN to protect the system from malicious end-user requests and potential threats. With CDN, Gitiho no longer needed to worry about the problem of delivery latency, which is typically caused by distribution, bandwidth, and server issues.

Looking Forward

Gitiho successfully deployed its learning site on Alibaba Cloud, which help the company ensure high availability, improve response rate, and prevent and mitigate server performance issues. By taking advantage of Alibaba Cloud’s powerful capabilities, Gitiho managed to bring knowledge and entertainment to the fingertips of its users. The company hopes to continue to drive innovation and leverage the right technology to achieve its business goals.
