Transform load times of up to a minute to under 2 seconds with IDO Edge's fully native Azure infrastructure within Mainland China. No CDN workarounds — true native deployment. Reliable frontend hosting in China without the complexity.
30 seconds or worse. That's how long your Chinese visitors wait — if they wait at all. The Great Firewall of China blocks or severely degrades traffic that isn't hosted locally. A site that loads in under a second in Europe can take 30 seconds or more for a visitor in China. Most global CDNs don't have infrastructure inside Mainland China, which means China CDN coverage is either missing or routed via Hong Kong — which doesn't solve the problem. Enterprises end up managing a separate China infrastructure setup, navigating ICP licensing, local vendors and compliance risk. The result: a degraded experience for Chinese visitors and an operational burden nobody asked for.
IDO Edge solves the China problem the right way: with actual infrastructure inside Mainland China. Managed through the same control plane as the rest of your global web estate.
IDO Edge operates Points of Presence inside Mainland China — not routed around the Great Firewall of China, but through it, legally and at full speed. Your assets are served locally, delivering sub-second load times for Chinese visitors.
The problem: Most global CDNs route via Hong Kong — which doesn't solve Great Firewall degradation
Outcome: Load times drop from 30 seconds or worse to under 2 seconds for visitors inside China
Full Content Delivery Node in China
Frontend Hosting in China for Composable Apps
For composable frontends built on Sitecore, Optimizely, Sanity or similar platforms, IDO Edge includes full frontend hosting in China — meaning your SSR application runs inside Mainland China, not just your static assets.
The problem: CDN delivery alone doesn't solve server-side rendering latency for composable frontends
Outcome: Full-speed access for Chinese visitors — static and dynamic content served locally
The same enterprise security stack available globally — OWASP WAF, RADR real-time detection and DDoS protection — available inside China. No security compromises for your Chinese deployment.
The problem: Separate China vendors often mean a separate, weaker security posture
Outcome: Consistent security coverage across your entire global web estate, inside and outside China
Layered Security & WAF in China
China Performance Visible Alongside Your Global Estate

China delivery is available as part of IDO Edge Global and IDO Edge Dedicated plans — procured via Azure Marketplace, counting toward your MACC or Enterprise Agreement. No separate China vendor contract.
