Cambodian factory visits domestic UFIDA card, applying virtualization to accelerate solution?? Solution//Global IPLC service provider of Shigeng Communication

一、Firstly, the conclusion is that 90% of the lag in accessing domestic ERP by overseas branches is not due to bandwidth issues, but rather due to routing and packet loss issues in cross-border links. It's basically useless to switch to a larger bandwidth, either to use traditional dedicated lines (expensive and rigid), or to use acceleration (the one we ultimately chose, with a cost of 1/5 of dedicated lines). Let's review the entire process below.

Our company is engaged in clothing manufacturing, with headquarters in Dongguan and a factory located in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. After being put into production last year, the first thing to explode was not equipment or personnel, but ERP.

The computer configuration in the Cambodia office is not bad, with local 100Mbps fiber optic. But as long as you log in to the UFIDA U8 system at the domestic headquarters, it becomes the experience of dial-up internet access in the last century: checking material inventory for half a minute, submitting a production order requires three cards, and financial reconciliation at the end of the month until dawn is the norm.

Once when a customer was urging for delivery, the production planner submitted a work order for ten minutes but was unsuccessful. Eventually, it was discovered that the connection was lost midway and the data was not written in at all. After that day, my boss called me to the office and said, 'The internet issue will be resolved within a month.'.

1. Why do overseas visits to domestic ERP get stuck?

After a month of tinkering, I have figured out the principle. There are three core reasons:

The physical distance determines the lower limit of delay. The straight-line distance from Dongguan to Phnom Penh is about 1100 kilometers, and the data is transmitted through submarine optical cables and routing forwarding, resulting in a physical delay of 40-60ms. This is determined by the speed of light, no one can change it.

The route of the public Internet goes around. Your data is not directly returning to your home country, but first going to the international export of the local operator and then squeezing the backbone network. During peak hours, international exports are congested, with delays skyrocketing to over 300ms, accompanied by a packet loss rate of 3% -8%.

The TCP protocol amplifies the damage caused by packet loss. The ERP system is based on TCP transmission, and if a packet is lost, it needs to wait for retransmission. The higher the delay, the slower the retransmission. A packet loss rate of 10% is not perceived as "10% slow", but rather as "stuck and unavailable". That's why "road congestion" is more deadly than "narrow roads".

One sentence summary: It's not that the car doesn't work, it's that the road is long and congested.

2. The plan we have tried (including pit records)

First, let's talk about what's useless:

Upgrade the bandwidth of the Cambodia office. From 100M to 300M, the ERP card is still a card. Bandwidth solves the problem of "narrow road", but cannot solve "road congestion" and "long road".

Remote desktop connection to domestic computer. An additional layer of image transmission resulted in blurry image quality and delayed stacking, which was even more laggy than direct access. It took two days to give up.

Deploy ERP replicas locally overseas. Data synchronization is a bottomless pit, with inconsistent data on both sides, and financial consolidation reports almost have accidents. Don't touch unless there is a dedicated operations team.

Let's take another look at two useful paths:

Traditional cross-border dedicated lines: stability and latency are not worth mentioning, but the quotation discouraged me - the annual fee starts at 200000 yuan, deployment takes 1 to 3 months, bandwidth is fixed, and monthly rent is still paid during the off-season of business. For small and medium-sized enterprises, spending this money is painful.

3. Final solution: Application virtualization acceleration

Finally, we presented a virtualization acceleration solution for the application of Segong Communication. In a word, the principle is that data will no longer follow the narrow path of the public Internet, but will be separated from the display logic and computing logic through the application of virtualization technology. Only vector information such as mouse, keyboard and image will be transmitted between the server and the client, not real data.

Deployment is simpler than imagined:

The domestic headquarters will install an acceleration server, which will be delivered to the computer room via express delivery. The server will be plugged in, connected to an internal network switch, and automatically registered upon startup, without any configuration required by IT. The employees of the Cambodian factory installed an access client on their computers, which took about two days to complete.

The data flow is as follows: Cambodian terminal → Application virtualization protocol → Singapore cloud host node (nearby access, intelligent routing selection) → Shigeng Communication acceleration server → Internal network delivery to UFIDA U8. The entire process is encrypted and transmitted, using the dedicated line level treatment of commercial data.

Tested data after launch:

ERP page response has decreased from an average of over 60 seconds to around 3 seconds

End to end delay pressure within 50ms

Video conferences will no longer be disconnected, and the transfer of drawing files will be completed in minutes

The overall cost is about 1/5 of the dedicated line, and the bandwidth can be flexibly adjusted according to the peak and off peak seasons of the business

By the way, a colleague's data: After a manufacturing enterprise deployed it, employees from Vietnam, Cambodia and other places significantly improved their access speed to the domestic Kingdee K3 system, ensuring system stability and providing a good user experience.

At the end of the sentence: When building a factory overseas, everyone focuses on equipment, labor, and logistics accounting, and few people consider "network" as a serious cost item. But the actual experience is that for every minute ERP is stuck, it wastes the rhythm of the entire supply chain. This account is worth entering on the day of site selection.
