China connectivity requirements

China Connectivity Solutions by Location and Route

Scope a China connectivity solution by workload location, user path, routing requirements and delivery boundary. Mainland China, Hong Kong/APAC and overseas China-facing models are qualified separately before any route, provider, timing or service level is confirmed.

Three questions first

How to choose a China connectivity solution.

Location, audience and delivery boundary prevent broad phrases such as “China server” from hiding materially different technical, operational and legal scopes.

01 / Location

Where must it run?

Mainland China, Hong Kong, Asia-Pacific and overseas models carry different delivery requirements.

02 / Audience

Who must reach it?

Map users, branches, clouds, APIs and origin systems on both sides of the route.

03 / Boundary

What must be verified?

Licensing, upstream capability, routing, content model and delivery timing need project-specific review.

Delivery model

Compare three China connectivity delivery models.

Each model has different qualification inputs, dependencies and acceptance questions for the written proposal.

Mainland delivery

Use this model when the workload must be hosted within mainland China. The legal entity, content/application model, required permissions, upstream relationship and operational responsibility form part of qualification.

Connectivity assessment

What the China connectivity assessment covers.

The assessment turns a broad China requirement into a project-specific brief. It identifies what must be confirmed before a provider, route, delivery date or service level can enter a proposal.

Review China Network Requirements
Location model
Whether the workload must run in mainland China, Hong Kong/APAC or another region serving China-facing users.
Users and applications
Relevant user, branch, cloud, API and origin locations, plus the application protocols and traffic direction.
Route context
Source and destination networks, routing requirements and the paths that need project-specific qualification.
Permissions and dependencies
Legal-entity, content, licensing and upstream questions that apply to the requested delivery model.
Operating boundary
Which actions belong to the customer, Cidriva or a qualified upstream provider, including monitoring and incident responsibilities.
Acceptance basis
Destinations, test method, timing and measurable criteria to be documented before delivery is evaluated.

The assessment does not by itself guarantee a carrier, route, latency, availability, inventory or SLA. Those items apply only when they have been qualified for the actual project and confirmed in writing.

Written output

What you receive after qualification.

The written proposal records confirmed scope and separates it from assumptions, dependencies and customer-owned actions.

01 / Model

Qualified delivery model

The selected location model, relevant user path and remaining technical or licensing dependencies.

02 / Ownership

Responsibility boundary

The included work, customer responsibilities and any upstream actions required for the proposed scope.

03 / Acceptance

Proposal basis

Documented route assumptions and acceptance method, plus any delivery timing and commercial terms confirmed for the qualified requirement.

If address resources form part of the design, review IPv4 leasing requirements separately so intended use, authorization, routing and operational responsibilities remain explicit.

Infrastructure paths

Connect the China solution to a real workload.

Define the requirement as dedicated servers, VPS hosting or SD-WAN planning, then add the exact China-facing location and path.

Your written proposal identifies the confirmed location, delivery model, route assumptions, licensing dependencies, acceptance method and lead time.

China connectivity FAQ

China connectivity solution FAQ.

What is a China connectivity solution?
It is a project-specific delivery plan built around workload location, users, applications, routing dependencies, operating responsibilities and measurable acceptance criteria. The final scope is recorded in a written proposal.
When should I choose mainland China instead of Hong Kong or APAC?
Choose the model only after defining where the workload must run, who must reach it and which legal, content, operational and latency requirements apply. Mainland China, Hong Kong/APAC and overseas China-facing delivery are qualified separately.
What information is needed for an assessment?
Provide workload and user locations, application protocols, traffic direction, important destinations, required operating support, target timing and the acceptance method you expect to use.
What does the written proposal include?
It records the qualified delivery model, confirmed scope, route assumptions, responsibilities, dependencies, acceptance method, delivery timing and commercial terms for the actual project.
Does the assessment guarantee a carrier, route, latency, availability or SLA?
No. Public references and preliminary assessment do not represent contracted capacity, real-time inventory or a service commitment. A carrier, route, performance target, availability term or SLA applies only when expressly confirmed in the written proposal.
How are licensing and compliance dependencies handled?
The assessment records the entity, content, permissions, upstream and operating questions relevant to the requested model. Applicable requirements remain subject to project-specific qualification and appropriate professional advice.
