Network & Architecture
BaishanCloud operates a global edge cloud platform with over 1,700 edge nodes across 300+ cities in more than 150 countries, with a strong focus on China and Southeast Asia. Its network includes 1,029 IPs, with 823 IPv4 and 206 IPv6 addresses, deployed across 28 cities in two countries (China and Hong Kong). The platform leverages intelligent routing, load balancing, and high-performance SD-WAN for efficient data transmission. Regional strengths include unparalleled performance in China due to its china-licensed status, but its global footprint is less extensive than some competitors in North America and EMEA. The network handles 600 billion daily requests and supports 80T of redundancy bandwidth.

The platform supports image optimization, video on demand (VOD), live streaming, HLS/DASH packaging, and RTMP ingest for media delivery. Edge computing capabilities include edge cloud servers, edge containers, serverless computing (function@edge), and key-value storage (Orchsym iPaaS). It supports HTTP/3, TLS 1.3, tiered caching, origin shield, instant purge, WebSockets, and signed URLs. Real-time analytics, logs, and log streaming are available via an API-first platform.

When it fits / When it doesn’t
When it fits
- China-focused businesses needing a licensed CDN with strong regional performance and regulatory compliance.
- Enterprises requiring edge computing and serverless solutions for data-intensive applications.
- Organizations seeking integrated security with WAF, DDoS protection, and zero-trust networking.
When it doesn’t
- Companies needing extensive North American or EMEA coverage may find BaishanCloud’s footprint limited compared to Cloudflare or Akamai.
- Small businesses or startups looking for free-tier or low-cost options may find its enterprise focus less accessible.
- Users requiring Terraform or CI/CD integration may need to confirm support, as documentation is sparse.
