Empowering Clients with Flexible Regional Acceleration
AgileCDN allows clients to customize content delivery regions called acceleration regions based on their business needs and regulatory requirements. This flexibility ensures optimal performance, compliance, and user experience:
a. Chinese Mainland Only
- Use Case: Businesses targeting users within mainland China.
- Benefit: Ensures low latency and high performance by routing traffic to edge nodes within China.
- Requirement: Must have a valid ICP (Internet Content Provider) license, as mandated by Chinese regulations.
b. Global
- Use Case: Businesses with a truly global audience.
- Benefit: Automatically routes user requests to the nearest edge node worldwide, ensuring fast and reliable content delivery across all regions.
- Requirement: ICP license still required if serving users in China.
c. Global (Excluding Chinese Mainland)
- Use Case: Companies serving international users but not operating within mainland China.
- Benefit: Avoids the need for an ICP license while still delivering content efficiently to users in Asia-Pacific and beyond.
- Routing: Requests from mainland China are redirected to nearby regions like Japan, Singapore, or Hong Kong.
