一、In today's globalized business layout, many enterprises use Alibaba Cloud to deploy ERP and OA systems, but often face the problem of slow access speed from overseas users. From Asia to Africa, from the Americas to Europe, cross-border network transmission inevitably brings visible delays and lags.

Data shows that when accessing domestic cloud servers from overseas, the latency is usually as high as 120-300ms, or even higher, far exceeding the acceptable threshold for enterprise applications. This not only leads to low work efficiency, but also directly affects business operations and customer satisfaction.

1. Cross border network bottleneck, hidden obstacles to overseas visits

Why is accessing Alibaba Cloud ERP system from overseas so slow? There are multiple complex technical factors behind this.

Physical distance is the primary issue. Data needs to be transmitted back and forth between the user client and the server. Even at the speed of light, there will be inevitable delays over long distances. The straight-line distance from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Shanghai, China is about 4300 kilometers, and the theoretical delay of light speed transmission is 14ms. However, actual network transmission requires passing through multiple intermediate nodes, further increasing the delay.

Complex routing paths are the second key factor. Data often needs to go through the networks of multiple operators and multiple routers for cross-border transmission.

Each node (i.e. one hop) requires processing time, and international access typically requires more than 10 hops, resulting in a significant increase in actual latency.

The bottleneck of international bandwidth cannot be ignored either. The international export bandwidth in the Asia Pacific region is insufficient, with congestion rates exceeding 65% during peak hours. When multiple users access simultaneously, the available bandwidth is limited, leading to a decrease in data transmission speed and unstable connections.

The limitations of network protocols should not be underestimated. The traditional TCP protocol is inefficient in high latency environments, requiring retransmission every time packet loss occurs, further reducing effective bandwidth utilization.

2. Dedicated line and network solution, breaking down barriers to cross-border access

In response to the slow overseas access to Alibaba Cloud ERP system, various dedicated line and network solutions have emerged to optimize network transmission from different perspectives

International dedicated line/MPLS is a traditional but effective solution. It provides a stable, low latency, high bandwidth exclusive connection to bypass congested public Internet nodes. This is the strongest solution to address fundamental latency and packet loss issues, although the cost is relatively high.

SD-WAN technology has been widely used in recent years. It can monitor the quality of multiple links (such as dedicated lines, regular broadband, 4G/5G) in real time, automatically allocate ERP traffic to the optimal path, and greatly improve the access experience and reliability.

After adopting SD-WAN, a multinational enterprise reduced network latency by over 60% and packet loss rate from>8% to<0.5%.

Global acceleration services are an efficient solution for the cloud era. The global acceleration solution provided by cloud service providers such as Alibaba Cloud receives user requests through edge access points (PoPs) nearby, and then optimizes the high-speed return of internal networks to domestic ERP servers, significantly reducing data transmission distance.

Alibaba Cloud Global Accelerator (GA) can reduce latency from 150ms to within 30ms, improving the access experience.

3. Implementation path, full analysis of enterprise acceleration plan

Implementing an overseas visit acceleration plan requires systematic methods and steps. Firstly, a deep diagnosis is required: using network monitoring tools to analyze link quality (latency, packet loss, jitter, bandwidth utilization) and identify bottlenecks.

Scheme selection and cost evaluation are crucial. Enterprises need to evaluate dedicated lines based on business needs (user distribution, criticality, budget) SD-WAN、 The applicability and cost-effectiveness of global acceleration or VDI solutions.

For Alibaba Cloud users, there are multiple targeted solutions to choose from:

Deploy Global Acceleration (GA) service: achieve low latency access, automatically select the optimal path, and avoid network congestion.

Enable Content Delivery Network (CDN): Cache static resources (such as images, videos, script files) to edge nodes around the world, improving access speed while reducing source site pressure.

Configure Anycast IP: achieve global unified access, simplify access architecture, and improve cross regional connectivity efficiency.

Enable intelligent DNS resolution: locate the geographic area based on the user's IP address and return the optimal server address to achieve nearest resolution.

Optimize the network configuration of the source server: ensure the quality of core transmission, configure BGP multi line network, and improve the quality of international links.

4. Security guarantee, escort messenger for private network acceleration

Any cross-border access scheme must integrate strong encryption (such as IPSec VPN, SSL/TLS), strict authentication (MFA), and access control policies.

SOCKS5 VPN technology provides four layers of protection: isolation, encryption, permission, and authentication: it can ensure the security of OA data transmission and adopts AES 128 bit encryption algorithm; Ensure OA access control permissions, specifying that clients can only access designated applications on the server.

Security reinforcement also needs to consider multiple factors: OA servers do not need to be connected to the Internet and are logically isolated from the external network; Only responsible for transmitting OA data, blocking invalid Ping, broadcast packets, ICMP packets, virus packets, etc; Prevent branch offices and mobile users from spreading computer viruses and hacker attacks to servers when accessing Zhiyuan OA.

Global acceleration solutions are becoming a digital bridge for enterprise internationalization, eliminating geographical distance as a barrier to business collaboration and enabling distributed teams to truly achieve efficient collaboration.
