Product overview
Edge Network Acceleration (ENA) provides enterprise customers with end-to-end accelerated connections, including connections between internal branches, connections between DCs, and connections from a corporate intranet to Alibaba Cloud.
Benefits
Security
Communication data is transmitted over a dedicated connection that is built for your enterprise and does not pass through the public Internet, so private data is not exposed to theft.
High-speed interconnection
Multiple branches communicate directly over the intranet with low latency.
Fast access
You can quickly build a dedicated connection between your own enterprise network and an Alibaba Cloud POP access gateway. The construction period is much shorter than that of a traditional end-to-end access method.
Extensive branch coverage
ENA has access points in more than 30 cities across China, which enables high-quality leased line interconnection between branches. Multiple cities provide multiple access points to deliver highly reliable access.
One-stop service
You do not need to work with multiple construction providers or coordinate construction work. ENA provides a one-stop service for enterprises that connect to Alibaba Cloud POP gateways.
Low cost
On-site installation fees are much lower than the construction fees of a traditional end-to-end deployment.
Common scenarios
Rapid hybrid network construction
You can quickly build a dedicated connection between your own enterprise network and an Alibaba Cloud POP access gateway. This one-stop service is efficient and low in cost, and the connection provides stable bandwidth, low latency, and high security.
Data center interconnection
You can quickly build dedicated connections between the data centers that your enterprise builds, which achieves high-speed and stable interconnection between data centers.
Cross-region intranet construction for chain enterprises
By quickly building connections from each offline branch to an Alibaba Cloud POP gateway, you establish fast connections between on-premises and cloud environments. This gives enterprises a new, low-cost option for building a cross-region intranet.
Fast cloud computing coverage
ENA provides highly assured and cost-effective dedicated connections for enterprises that offer cloud computing services, which safeguards service stability for mid-range and high-end customers.
