For customers with global business, configuring separate domestic and overseas monitoring points in Cloud Dial Test is essential for several reasons:
Accurate Performance Measurement: Network conditions vary significantly between regions due to factors like latency, packet loss, and bandwidth. Separate monitoring points ensure that performance metrics reflect real user experiences in each region rather than being skewed by a single location.
Localized Issue Detection: Problems such as regional outages, ISP throttling, or local network congestion may only affect certain areas. Dedicated overseas monitoring points can quickly identify these issues without being masked by domestic performance data.
Compliance and Localization Requirements: Some businesses must comply with regional regulations or optimize for local user expectations. Separate monitoring helps ensure services meet these requirements in each market.
Example: A global e-commerce platform may experience slow load times in Southeast Asia due to undersea cable issues, while domestic users in China enjoy fast access. If only domestic points are monitored, the problem goes unnoticed until customers complain. With separate overseas points, the issue is detected early, allowing proactive resolution.
For such needs, Tencent Cloud's Global Network Monitoring service provides distributed probe nodes worldwide, enabling precise performance tracking and rapid issue detection across regions.
