Cloud Connect Network (CCN) is billed according to the interconnection bandwidth, and supports pay-as-you-go by monthly 95th percentile. CCN supports three service levels - Platinum, Gold, and Silver, as described in Service Level Agreement.
You can choose the plan with the lowest cost and best quality based on business needs. For example, we recommend that you choose pay-as-you-go by monthly 95th percentile - Gold for real-time audio/video and game acceleration.
The CCN billing mode is described as follows:
Billing Mode | Payment Method | Unit | Use Case |
---|---|---|---|
Monthly 95th percentile | Pay as you go | USD/month | Suitable for business that requires low bandwidth or business volume grows significantly. (It is currently in beta test. To try it out, please submit a ticket.) |
The three CCN service levels are as follows:
Service Level | Service Availability | Price Ratio | Use Case |
---|---|---|---|
Platinum | 99.99% | 1.5 | Suitable for business that requires extremely high communication quality, such as payment |
Gold | 99.95% | 1 | Suitable for business that requires moderately high communication quality, such as game acceleration |
Silver | 99.50% | 0.75 | Suitable for business that is cost-sensitive but less sensitive to communication quality, such as data backup |
Note:
- You can test the network quality using the 10 Kbps of free bandwidth between regions.
- Bandwidth of 5 Gbps or less in the same region (same account or cross account) is free of charge. If you need more than 5 Gbps of bandwidth in the same region, please submit a ticket to contact us. The service level for the same region is "Gold" and cannot be modified.
- Three levels are applied for cross-region interconnection. You can select the service level when creating a CCN instance.
- Cross-account and cross-region costs are paid by the account to which CCN instances belong.
- This price comparison is for reference only. Please refer to the actual prices.
Pay after use. Fees are charged based on the 95th percentile of the monthly peak bandwidth and the proportion of valid days. Monthly postpaid is suitable for business with large bandwidth fluctuations.
For example, if you have 10 Mbps of bandwidth between Beijing and Shanghai regions but also a bandwidth burst of 30 Mbps. We recommend that you select pay-as-you-go by monthly 95th percentile because you may only need to pay for 10 Mbps of bandwidth after the top 5% is removed.
Monthly pay-as-you-go: Fees are generated each month. You will be charged for the current month between 8 and 10 AM on the first day of the next month.
Total monthly cost of CCN = Sum of the interconnection costs of all regions
Monthly interconnection cost between two regions = 95th percentile of the monthly peak bandwidth of the interconnection between regions A and B × Proportion of valid days × Tiered unit price.
Example: You used CCN in June to build cross-region connection between regions A and B for 14 valid days. Because one sample point is generated every 5 minutes, 288 (60 min × 24/5 min) sample points are generated every day, and 4,032 (14 days × 288 sample points/day) sample points are generated in 14 days. The bandwidth values of the 4,032 sample points are sorted in descending order, the top 5% (4,032 sample points × 0.05 = 201.6 statistical points) are removed, and the bandwidth value of the 202nd sample point is used as the 95th percentile of the monthly peak bandwidth.
Note:
- Please consult your sales rep for prices between regions outside the mainland of China and other regions.
- CCN is postpaid based on actual usage. To avoid paying for extra bandwidth, we recommend configuring an upper limit for bandwidth between regions.
Service Level | Local Region | Peer Region | Tier 1 Price (0 Mbps - 100 Mbps] (USD/Mbps/month) |
Tier 2 Price (100 Mbps - 1000 Mbps] (USD/Mbps/month) |
Tier 3 Price (>1000 Mbps) (USD/Mbps/month) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Platinum | The Chinese mainland (not including Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan) |
The Chinese mainland (not including Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan) |
55 | 21 | 13 |
Gold | 37 | 13 | 9 | ||
Silver | 28 | 10 | 7 |
Suppose your CCN (service level: gold) was associated with network instances in Guangzhou, Beijing, and Shanghai regions in June 2019. The bandwidth usage is as follows:
