With the easy-to-use CEN, you can share bandwidth package by regions, communicate with each network instance with high speed and low latency.
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.
Backup connectivity generally flows through the internet. Even after employing highly available and redundant networking products from Alibaba Cloud, clients wanting to have another security net for network disconnects can employ Alibaba Cloud's VPN gateway services to provide an extra backup in the highly unlikely event of a CEN failure.
