With the world’s largest and fastest growing online population, China continues to attract global online businesses of all industries. The Chinese market offers vast revenue opportunities and growth, but companies must overcome a magnitude of technical and regulatory challenges to effectively reach online users in China. Internet censorship, unreliable infrastructure, and complex web content licensing requirements make it difficult to effectively deliver websites and cloud applications into China.
In this webinar, CDNetworks and guest speaker Forrester Research, Inc. will discuss the overall opportunities presented by the China web market and explore the various web performance and regulatory challenges companies must overcome to effectively deliver web content and applications within the Great Firewall. The webinar will also provide insights on overcoming common performance challenges and fulfilling Chinese regulatory requirements mandated by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) and the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC).

DevOps and data privacy do not need to oppose each other. Rather, they can complement one another.
The automation and audit trails that DevOps processes introduce to database development can ease compliance with data protection regulations and enable organizations to balance the need to deliver software faster with the requirement to protect and preserve personal data.
So how can the promise of releasing changes to the database faster and easier be balanced with the need to keep data safe and remain compliant with legislation?
Redgate’s Data Privacy and Protection Specialist Chris Unwin, shows how the answer lies in in going one step further than database DevOps and thinking about Compliant Database DevOps:
• Introduce standardized team-based development
• Automate deployments
• Monitor performance and availability
• Protect and preserve data

ENSURING FAST AND SECURE GAMING APPLICATION DOWNLOADS GLOBALLYCDNetworks
Gamers are vocal about their displeasure when games are slow to download. Worse yet, if a game is unavailable due to too much traffic or a DDoS attack, gamers are, rightly so, incensed. And, if you have customers in China, Japan, Korea or Russia, performance can suffer due to distance induced latency. Find out how to protect your applications while ensuring fast downloads with dynamic web acceleration and DDoS mitigation. A dynamic content acceleration network not only ensures fast application downloads, but also accommodates peaks in traffic during a game launch. DDoS mitigation offloads attacks to special sponge PoPs, so your customers are not affected.
Takeaway
In this session you will learn how to speed up and secure your gaming application throughout the world, including in China, Japan, Korea and Russia. Your gamers will thank you.
What’s the Difference between an Application Delivery Network and a Content D...CDNetworks
By now, you may have heard about the benefits of a content delivery network (CDN) or an application delivery network (ADN), and wondered what all the commotion was about. After all, the content delivery network market is estimated to grow from $3.71 billion in 2014 to $12.16 billion by 2019.
However, before you pursue any one solution, it’s essential that you can answer this question: What’s the difference between an application delivery network and a content delivery network?
In the most general sense, CDNs optimize static content while ADNs are typically responsible for web acceleration of dynamic content. Each solution is designed to accelerate the web experience while reducing load times.
The points in this presentation target specific areas to consider throughout your delivery network research process. After reading, you might be able to better help the CDN and/or ADN provider you choose diagnose your site’s maladies and propose an optimal solution to improve performance.
In MicroMarketMonitor’s recent report, it was noted that the North American content delivery network market is expected to grow from $1.95 billion in 2013 to $7.83 billion in 2019. One significant factor driving this growth is end user interaction with online content.
The interaction between a user and online content is far more complex today than it was a few years ago. Today’s users are much more likely to be streaming a longer video from a mobile phone or accessing a SaaS portal when working from home. These are far more complex experiences that did not exist five or so years ago. Given the expected growth of the CDN market in the coming years, this post will define exactly what a CDN is and how it operates.
A content delivery network, also called a CDN, improves the performance, security and reliability of a website. Since the start of the internet, websites have evolved in how they deliver content to the end user. In the example below, you will see the CDNetworks’ Twitter stream. Highlighted in red, is what is known as static content. The CDNetworks logo and profile descriptions are basic graphics and HTML text that rarely change. Highlighted in yellow, is what is known as dynamic content. The Twitter stream represents content that is always changing and moving.

21. Source: China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC)
Nearly 50% of internet users in China are in rural areas where the internet
connection is unreliable and processing times are extremely slow
22. Licensing requirements can be a barrier to entry when
hosting a website in China
› Beian (Record Bureau) & Gongan (Public Security Bureau) Licenses
• Required for all websites hosted and delivering from within the Great Firewall
› Internet Content Provider (ICP) License
• Required for all websites with a shopping cart
› Additional licenses may be required for:
• Education
• Healthcare
• News/media
• Pharmaceutical
23.
24. In the case of Uniqlo, the holding company and the
flagship site also had to be registered on the ICP license
25. Some content is easier to host in China than others
Content Type Likelihood to be blocked
Adult/pornography Forbidden
Gambling Forbidden
Political Forbidden
Anti-government Forbidden
Religious High
User-generated (SNS, BBS, blog, sharing) High
News High
Gaming Medium
Entertainment Medium
Software Low
Enterprise Low
e-Commerce Low
26. Option #1: Move content closer to the greater China area
Hong Kong and
Singapore are two
common hosting
locations
27. Content distribution speeds with content closer to China
Http round trip
time (for a single
object)
Firewall filtering
Total delay (for a
single object)
With direct
peering
connection to all
three major ISPs
in mainland
100 MS 450 MS 550 MS
No direct peering
connection
300 MS 450 MS 700 – 800 MS
The limiting factor
with this option is
poor connectivity and
firewall filtering
28. Challenges with hosting close to China, but outside of
China
› Choosing a hosting provider can be tricky
› The great firewall blocks IP
› Sites hosted on the same server (or same IP block)
as questionable content will also be blocked
30. Southern China:
Telecom territory
Northern China:
Unicom territory
The great divide between the north and the south
requires mirrored sites
The sparse bandwidth between the south
and the north means you need mirrored
sites in both territories
31. Setting up websites in China is a complex operation
› Businesses must apply for a government-issued
license - licenses vary for each type of site
› The rules for obtaining licenses are confusing
and procedures unclear
› Rules and regulations for obtaining a license
change frequently
› Licenses takes longer to acquire and are under
more scrutiny for western brands
› Local operation requirements
32. Option #3: Hosting externally with a CDN within China
Geographic
coverage is key
33. Using a CDN significantly reduces delivery time

Bally Reduces Load Time By 81%
Improving Online Shopping Experience in China
Opportunity:
27% of all luxury goods are consumed by Chinese Shoppers.
By 2015, they will account for 35% of all luxury goods sold.
Challenges
Bally launches bally.cn in 2011:
• Required optimization to comply with local regulations
• Rich media resulted in poor web performance
• Spotty in-country peering increased website latency
http://www.techinasia.com/china-ecommerce-242-million-online-shoppers-2013-stats/Looking at these numbers it’s surprising that brands haven’t made China the number 1 priority
Japan and South Korea are scored highly as a result of existing infrastructure (access to internet and fulfillment capabilities) and vendor investment in eCommerce in addition to the high digital sophistication of shoppers in this market. The Retail index measures:Consumer pillar. This pillar measures the sophistication level of consumers' behavior to adopt online purchasing.

Note for Kelland: Some estimates put that at a 38% site abandonment rate
eBusiness professionals must carefully evaluate the tradeoff between site performance and localized preferences in Asian markets.
The rule-of-thumb for a single object performance is ~0.1 sec latency
China has 6 major ISPs, but peering between networks is limited which causes lag times even in country
CDN providers can also cache dynamic page content such as personalized product results and product pages.
Load time increases as distance increases between the origin and the end user
