News: SoftLayer Asia datacenter line is temporarily no longer directly connected to China

SoftLayer belongs to IBM's high-end datacenter. In March, SoftLayer's Asian nodes such as Hong Kong, Singapore, and Japan began to bypass the United States for telecommunications lines. After a period of time, the routing was adjusted and restored! A week ago, SoftLayer Asia data center began to experience various extensions and other phenomena. It has not recovered yet, and China Unicom lines have also begun to go around!

The change of SoftLayer's line has killed a large number of IDC providers who rented their servers. Some personal hosting providers have also begun to issue announcements that the original SL datacenter package will be closed. Once the line is changed, users who have renewed their subscriptions will no longer renew. After all, IDC vendors and users have no ability to influence their decisions regarding line issues, so I would like to remind everyone that if you want telecom access speed, SoftLayer is currently not recommended in Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan; of course, if you have China Unicom or mobile access, it is no longer recommended. It can be ignored that it is unlikely that the datacenter will return to its original direct connection to China in the short term. The following quotes from unofficial sources:

SoftLayer continuously analyzes and evaluates the way in we deliver services to our customers in order to bring the best possible combination of performance and price in the market. In particular we have continued evaluating the connectivity services we provide from our data centers in Tokyo , Singapore, and Hong Kong into mainland China through Chinese providers and have continued to see that this service does not provide a good cost-benefit proposition for our customers given the current cost point of these connections. We have elected to discontinue the use of these direct circuits into mainland China effective immediately. We have begun moving traffic off these links from our Hong Kong, Singapore, and Tokyo locations which may result in some customers in those locations noticing increased latency due to the traffic shift away from the direct circuits into circuits provided by other local vendors in region. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you and / or your customers.
