An Internet-based encrypted tunneling service that makes it easy to establish secure connections between the cloud platform and corporate IDCs
Overview
VPN Connections is a transfer service based on network tunneling technology to enable communication between customer IDCs and cloud resources. It can help you quickly establish secure and reliable encrypted connections on the Internet. VPN Connections is easy to configure and highly reliable. The configurations made in the cloud can take effect immediately after they are applied. The availability of a VPN gateway can reach 99.95%, which ensures stable and uninterrupted service connections. In this way, you can easily cope with complex business scenarios such as remote disaster recovery and hybrid cloud deployment. VPN Connections provides services under relevant policies and regulations in China and does not provide Internet access.
A VPN tunnel uses Internet Key Exchange (IKE) and IPsec to encrypt transmitted data and establish secure and trusted data tunnels on the Internet. This ensures data security during transmission.
A VPN gateway provides a reliability of 99.95%. The underlying layer adopts a dual-node hot backup architecture in which a failover can be performed within seconds. During the failover process, connection re-establishment is not required, which ensures uninterrupted communication sessions and makes the failover process imperceptible to upper-layer applications.
VPN Connections provides the traffic control feature. It displays VPN performance status in charts and uses multiple dimensions to monitor VPN connections. VPN Connections also allows you to create custom alarms to enable early warning on faults. In this way, VPN Connections helps you troubleshoot issues at the earliest opportunity.
