Edge Network Acceleration:What is Edge Network Acceleration?

Last Updated:Oct 31, 2023

Edge Network Acceleration (ENA) is built based on the widely distributed edge compute nodes of Alibaba Cloud and the compliant network resources of carriers. ENA can provide enterprises with end-to-end fast connectivity services such as accelerated connectivity between the internal branches of enterprises, accelerated connectivity between enterprise data centers (DCs), and accelerated connectivity between corporate intranets and Alibaba Cloud.

Overview

ENA can provide enterprises with end-to-end fast connectivity services such as accelerated connectivity between the internal branches of enterprises, accelerated connectivity between enterprise DCs, and accelerated connectivity between corporate intranets and Alibaba Cloud.

Benefits

  • High security

    ENA enables communication data to be transmitted over a dedicated channel that is built for an enterprise, without passing through the Internet. This prevents privacy data from being stolen.

  • High-speed connectivity

    ENA helps the branches of an enterprise directly communicate with each other over the corporate intranet with low latency.

  • Quick access

    ENA helps quickly build a dedicated channel that connects a corporate intranet to an Alibaba Cloud point of presence (POP) gateway. Compared with the traditional end-to-end access method, ENA greatly reduces the construction period.

  • Multiple branches

    Access points are distributed in more than 30 cities around the globe to implement high-quality leased line connectivity between branches. Multi-access point connectivity is available across multiple cities to achieve highly reliable access.

  • One-stop service

    ENA provides a one-stop service for customers to connect to Alibaba Cloud POP gateways. This releases you from tedious construction affairs.

  • Cost-effectiveness

    Compared with traditional end-to-end construction costs, on-site installation costs are greatly reduced.

Scenarios

  • Quick setup of hybrid networking

    ENA helps quickly build a dedicated channel that connects a corporate intranet to an Alibaba Cloud POP gateway to provide one-stop, low-cost, and efficient services, with stable bandwidth, low latency, and high security.

  • Data center connectivity

    ENA helps quickly build a dedicated channel between enterprise self-managed DCs to achieve high-speed and stable connectivity between the DCs.

  • Cross-region intranet building for chain enterprises

    ENA helps quickly establish connections between on-premises branches and Alibaba Cloud POP gateways to implement fast channel connectivity between Alibaba Cloud and the on-premises branches, providing a new option for enterprises to build intranets across regions at low costs.

  • Fast coverage of cloud computing

    ENA provides high-assurance and cost-effective dedicated connections for cloud computing enterprises to ensure service stability for medium- and high-end customers.
