Which GCP VM has a optimised connection to CN2 GIA

[chenchengzhang]

Hi,

I'd like to know if any GCP VPS instance has an optimised connection to China Telecom's CN2 (Next Carrying Network) and particularly its Global Internet Access (GIA) premium network?

I need to know if we can run our services on GCP for our customer's branch in China mainland.

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Chencheng

Hi @chenchengzhang ,

GCP has no VPS instance specifically optimized for connecting to China Telecom's CN2 GIA (Global Internet Access). However, one alternative solution I can recommend is through Cloud Interconnect. Cloud Interconnect allows you to establish dedicated and optimized network connections between your on-premises network and GCP. While it may not be a direct optimization for CN2 GIA, utilizing Cloud Interconnect can enhance the network performance and reliability between your infrastructure and GCP, including connections to CN2 GIA.

Just a reminder, to achieve an optimized connection to CN2 GIA or any specific network, you would need to work with a network service provider or a third-party network partner who has peering arrangements with China Telecom and can provide the necessary connectivity.

I recommend reaching out to GCP support or consulting with a network service provider specializing in international connectivity to discuss your specific requirements and determine what available options you have for establishing an optimized connection between GCP and CN2 GIA.
