— CROSS-BORDER SAAS

HK / SG dual-active with low-latency interconnect

IP TransitBGPMulti-homed

SCALE

50+ countries

PROBLEM

·APAC users sensitive to latency and route convergence
·Existing upstream quality unstable, occasional detours

SOLUTION

·Multi-upstream + community policy (regional preference split)
·Max-prefix, IRR / RPKI filtering, gradual cutover plan
·Traffic reports and route observability

OUTCOME

·Inter-region routes predictable, convergence standardised
·Burst detours reduced, ops cost down

— E-COMMERCE / GAMING

DDoS mitigation + blackhole / diversion automation

DDoSRTBHFlowSpec

SCALE

800 Gbps attack

PROBLEM

·L3/4 attacks affecting connectivity
·Manual response too slow

SOLUTION

·Blackhole / diversion via BGP community or GRE return
·Incident runbook: alert → triage → mitigate → report
·Mitigation tied to change windows, permissions, audit

OUTCOME

·Mitigation standardised, communication rhythm consistent
·Public statements and post-incident reports complete

— COLOCATION

Inter-DC private lines + remote-hands delivery

ColocationCross-connectRemote Hands

SCALE

3 DCs · 80+ racks

PROBLEM

·Multi-site rack-up needs trackable delivery checkpoints
·Clear maintenance windows, acceptance, rollback required

SOLUTION

·Delivery checklist: racking / cabling / labelling / fibre test / connectivity
·Inter-DC: LAG / VLAN / sub-interface with handoff docs
·Tickets record photos, serial numbers, ports, acceptance

OUTCOME

·Delivery transparent, integration cost lower
·Expansion and change reuse existing process

— HIGH I/O WORKLOADS

Bare Metal + private interconnect

Bare MetalPrivate LinkSLA

SCALE

24 servers

PROBLEM

·DB workloads need high I/O and low latency — cloud insufficient
·Controlled network ingress / egress paths required

SOLUTION

·NVMe + 25G NIC bare-metal hosts
·Cross-connect into private VLAN
·Dedicated BGP session and Anycast config

OUTCOME

·DB latency down 40%, P99 jitter controlled
·Cost vs public cloud down 35%
