China is home to the world's largest internet market, with over 1.05 billion active internet users. Whether you operate a gaming business, SaaS solution, or China video media streaming service, tapping into this massive audience requires a robust dedicated server. However, the congested international internet routes pose significant challenges for businesses looking to serve Chinese users efficiently.
To overcome these obstacles and ensure ultra-fast connectivity, businesses often look to premium China-optimized networks like CN2 (China Telecom’s high-end network), CMI (China Mobile International), and CU-Premium (China Unicom's premium transit). With direct routing to China Telecom, China Unicom, and China Mobile, NovoServe provides high-performance bare metal serversthat ensure optimal connectivity with premium unmetered bandwidth.
What is a CN2 Dedicated Server?
CN2 (China Telecom Next Carrying Network) is a premium low-latency backbone built by China Telecom. It is known for offering optimized routing with minimal hops, reduced packet loss, and lower latency compared to standard China Telecom routes. CN2 is often sought after by businesses that require fast and reliable connections to users in China.
CN2 as a Benchmark in China-Optimized Hosting
A CN2 dedicated server is a bare metal server that is directly connected to China Telecom’s CN2 network, ensuring ultra-low latency and high-speed connections to China. Unlike standard China Telecom routing, which is often congested, CN2 GT (Global Transit) and CN2 GIA (Global Internet Access) servers provide dedicated bandwidth and optimized routing for seamless connectivity.
While CN2 GT (Global Transit) and CN2 GIA (Global Internet Access) are recognized in the industry for their performance levels, there are effective alternatives. CN2 GT offers better performance than standard China Telecom routes, and CN2 GIA provides guaranteed low-latency and minimal congestion.
NovoServe leverages direct transit with China Telecom, China Unicom, and China Mobile—enabling businesses to achieve similar low-latency, high-speed connectivity without relying on a single network provider.
In addition to China Telecom, China Mobile and China Unicom offer excellent premium international networks for high-performance routing into China.
CMI (China Mobile International) is the premium international transit network of China Mobile, offering direct, low-latency routes to China. NovoServe's CMI servers provide an optimized dedicated connection to China, making them ideal for businesses that rely on China Mobile’s extensive infrastructure.
China Unicom is another high-performance, low-latency network that provides optimized connectivity for enterprises. NovoServe offers dedicated servers with direct transit to China Unicom, ensuring fast and stable access to mainland China.
Why is Direct China Routing Essential?
For businesses targeting Chinese users, a dedicated server with direct transit to China Telecom, CMI, and CU is crucial. Here’s why:
- Ultra-low latency: Premium routes significantly reduce latency to China—down to 10ms in some regions.
- Speed and reliability: Direct routing eliminates many congestion points, improving uptime and user experience.
- Efficient data transmission: Ideal for latency-sensitive apps such as gaming, VoIP, and streaming.
- Guaranteed bandwidth: Dedicated infrastructure avoids the limitations of shared hosting environments.
- Security & compliance: Dedicated servers support secure, stable, and regulation-compliant deployments for China.
- Scalability: Direct China routing helps your infrastructure scale effectively as your business grows.
