Overview

Overview

Enterprises are rapidly migrating business-critical applications to cloud-based SaaS consumption models. They move the compute workloads onto the cloud by optimizing or transforming their legacy network infrastructure to a simple, agile, and secure model. Enterprises that require fast and smooth access to their applications on or off the cloud are typically faced with three main challenges. First, having a poor cross-regional network experience can hinder effective collaboration and slow down internet application access. Second, enterprises need to continually secure their application endpoints while making them accessible worldwide. Third, legacy network infrastructures are difficult to deploy, manage, and scale for the rapid iteration of services demanded in the Internet era.

Alibaba Cloud Global Application Acceleration Solution can help you effectively solve these challenges. This solution provides superior network connectivity with global network coverage and smart traffic steering to ensure low latency transmission, optimal route selection, and congestion avoidance. This solution provides you with comprehensive cybersecurity protection by protecting your applications against sophisticated DDoS attacks and malicious traffic. In addition, Alibaba Cloud's centralized IT management platform simplifies initial network setup and ongoing management.
