As a global network hub, Hong Kong has rich network resources. Due to its proximity to the mainland, it has fast transmission speed and does not need to be recorded. For example, Huawei Cloud's Hong Kong VM has become the first choice of many enterprises, especially in the current direct marketing industry, financial platforms, cross-border e-commerce and other industries. However, when choosing Huawei Cloud Hong Kong VM, we will find that the prices of some Hong Kong VM manufacturers are very different. So why are the bandwidth prices of Hong Kong virtual machines uneven? Today, let's take a look at the reason of this.
The common virtual machine bandwidth in Hong Kong market mainly includes the following categories:
The first direct connection to China's backbone network
Since there is no need to bypass the three network portals of international networks to enter China, the network line provided by China Telecom from Hong Kong to the mainland is also the fastest. Therefore, the mainland uses this type of bandwidth for Huawei Cloud Hong Kong virtual machine, which is of course the most expensive. 100% direct connection return bandwidth can simultaneously carry voice, data, video The next generation backbone bearer network of China Telecom for global interconnection and other services. This is a kind of international bandwidth directly connected to the Chinese backbone network, which is all of the high-quality computer rooms in Hong Kong. Because it is directly connected to the Chinese backbone network, it has fewer nodes, less line loss, relatively stable domestic access, high access costs, and is suitable for domestic enterprise customer groups.
Second, direct connection to China's MAN
Hong Kong's cheap international bandwidth bypasses places such as Taiwan or South Korea, and then connects with neighboring cities. The advantage of this connection mode is cheap, but the disadvantage is that access to other regions will be very slow, and the overall access will be uncoordinated, except for access to the MAN. There are many nodes, long delay and unstable bandwidth.
Third, pure international network bandwidth lines
Generally speaking, the bandwidth of Hong Kong virtual machine is purely international, which means that there is no shortcut for your network line and you can only return to China by detour. The network speed is relatively slow and the exclusive price is relatively cheap. Now most service providers use this method to control costs.
Fourth, the local bandwidth of Huawei Cloud Hong Kong virtual machine:
Hong Kong local line bandwidth can only meet the local access needs, and other regions are basically inaccessible. Mainland or overseas companies choose to lease or host servers in Hong Kong. Because of cross-border issues, international bandwidth needs to be considered. At present, Hong Kong's local bandwidth is relatively cheap, while international bandwidth is relatively expensive. Because the price gap between local bandwidth in Hong Kong and international bandwidth is obvious, operators or agents who claim to rent Huawei Cloud Hong Kong virtual machine at a low price usually choose local broadband at a low price. In this way, even if the server is hosted in Hong Kong, the speed of accessing websites in China is still very slow, leading to a large loss of corporate customers, However, if you choose Huawei VM, you can effectively avoid this problem.
Faced with the pain points such as server network quality and server stability that are prevalent in the current market, Micronet has invested a lot of manpower and material resources to comprehensively upgrade the network lines of Huawei Cloud Hong Kong VM, open the international BGP and simultaneously connect to the three lines of China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom, fully cover the network of international mainstream operators, create dual link bandwidth, and improve network redundancy. Why choose to rent Huaweiyun Of Hong Kong VM is because everyone knows that placing servers in the computer room in Hong Kong will enable foreign users to enter Hong Kong more quickly, which is not only conducive to the development of domestic business, but also conducive to the development of overseas markets. However, many people put price first when choosing Huawei Cloud Hong Kong virtual machine. Some illegal service providers take advantage of this mentality of consumers to confuse bandwidth differences, making consumers feel that "Huawei Cloud Hong Kong virtual machine bandwidth is cheap and fast". Moreover, the actual use experience is not good, which leads to the misunderstanding that the overall network quality of Huawei Cloud Hong Kong VM is poor.
The data center of Micronics Network Tiantong Hong Kong No. 2 Data Center has reached the four-star rating standard of IDC machine rooms, and the availability of 7 * 24 monitoring center and maintenance personnel has reached 99.99%. Access network lines through dynamic BGP lines, covering local, international and mainland direct lines, to achieve low latency cross network access. Primary suppliers: PCCW, Hutchinson Telecom, New World Telecom, Jiucang Telecom, Mingqitong Telecom, TraxComm, a fixed network telecommunications company under MTR, Hong Kong broadband network, and data center have multiple optical fiber redundant connection lines, and redundant POPs provide two independent data transmission lines. In terms of hardware, Intel Haswell processor, super strong read/write SSD, DDR4 memory and other high-end hardware configurations are used to ensure stable high-performance services. Therefore, when we choose Huawei Cloud Hong Kong VM to rent or host, we must find out what kind of bandwidth is in Hong Kong VM, and choose a formal and qualified data center, so that both signing and after-sales services are more reliable.
