Computing Infrastructure for High-Growth Companies
Monopoly Telcos/ISPs – just 30 of them !
ChinaNetCom – North, 30% of China
China Telecom – South, 60% of China
CERNET – Students, expensive & complicated
China RailCom and others
No competition
Limited service
Limited cooperation
Yankees vs. Rednecks (or North vs. South)
Very poor connections
Students isolated
Latency an issue, especially for games

- 7. Not your grandfathers’ Internet ChinaNetCloud
Computing Infrastructure for High-Growth Companies
No BGP
Usually use 2-3 IP addresses per server
Requires cross-China strategy
No BGP, really!
Well, you can buy it in 2-3 IDCs for high prices
CDNs a fact of life
To connect north/south
To distribute content close to use

- 8. Not your grandfathers’ Internet ChinaNetCloud
Computing Infrastructure for High-Growth Companies
IDCs (Data Centers) everywhere, but very diverse
Very small – often old office buildings, even new sites are small
Limited power – often 10-15 servers per rack, making racks expensive
Poor service a problem
Poor connections (overloading) a problem – understand city, province, backbone
Very wide variety of owners, agents, and contracts
21ViaNet, ChinaNetCenter, SRT are best
Choose your cities carefully
Shanghai inbound traffic very congested at night from HZ, SZ; use Ningbo
Your first server must be in your home city

- 10. How things get bought & sold in China ChinaNetCloud
Computing Infrastructure for High-Growth Companies
GuanXi is often critical
Baijiu 白酒 can be important
Unknowns get high prices and bad service
Very common for startups
Knowns get good prices and better service
50% off (more than trade discounts)
Get references for vendors
Contracts advisory at best

- 11. How things get bought & sold in China ChinaNetCloud
Computing Infrastructure for High-Growth Companies
• Hongbao (红包) issues
• Buyers often accept money to buy
• Distorts the buying process, vendor selection, value
• Look at the merits
• Follow the money
• Control the money

- 12. What you need - Servers ChinaNetCloud
Computing Infrastructure for High-Growth Companies
• Servers – everyone needs them
• Buy vs. lease – conserve capital
• Dell dominant, plus HP – Brand buying is surprising; few white boxes
• Don’t buy too much – Y20,000 is a good Dell (US$3,000)
• Scaling Architecture – Scale !
• Prepare for multiple of everything
• Session management critical
• DB management critical
• CDN support critical
• AJAX helpful

- 13. What you need – IDC & Bandwidth ChinaNetCloud
Computing Infrastructure for High-Growth Companies
IDCs (Data Centers) are everywhere !
10x Price differences BJ/SH to country, Guanxi important
Racks – Up to Y7,000/rack/month ($1,030USD/mo)
Power – But no power !
10A good, 15A great, 20A amazing, 30A dreaming (220V)
Bandwidth – Expensive but big, LAN can be bottleneck
100Mbps shared min, 1Gbps for larger sites,
10G+ distributed for big guys, 100G+ video
Service – We’ve heard of that

- 14. What you need - CDNs ChinaNetCloud
Computing Infrastructure for High-Growth Companies
CDNs
Must-have for real sites for geographic distribution
But cheap in most cases
You must code / prepare for this – AJAX is your friend
Limited foreign competition; limited technology/service
Usually sold by Mbps/Gbps, not Bytes per month
Free bandwidth during off-peak
ChinaNetCenter, TXNetworks, 21ViaNet are best
Should use CDN monitoring
NetWorkBench is best
© 2009 ChinaNetCloud StartONomics Beijing 2009 14
- 15. What you need - Operations ChinaNetCloud
Computing Infrastructure for High-Growth Companies
Very hard to find people
Internet growing much faster than supply
Most people in mid-20s
Security
Not that important, so usually terrible
Performance
Requires experience and tools
Stability
Rarely thought of, 9s mean nothing
Backups
Not common, even for big sites
Monitoring
Basic at best
