On September 11th, the China Automobile & Auto Parts Digital Global Expansion Annual Conference was successfully held in Shanghai, focusing on in-depth exchanges around "automotive industry global expansion and digital transformation." As an invited exhibitor, GLINK Century, centered on the "SASE network-security integration architecture," showcased an overall solution for the global operation of the automotive industry, providing a new choice of secure, stable, and compliant digital infrastructure for enterprises going global.

Accelerated Automotive Global Expansion, Prominent Network Challenges

During the exhibition, the GLINK booth attracted many representatives from automotive manufacturing and auto parts enterprises for exchanges. Many customers reported that with the accelerated expansion of overseas businesses, they generally face three major challenges:

1. Inadequate Traditional Network Architecture: Enterprises going global generally set up factories, R&D, and supply chain nodes worldwide. Traditional network architectures struggle to meet the low-latency and high-reliability requirements in cross-border scenarios.

2. Restricted Collaboration Efficiency: R&D, production, and sales networks are fragmented, lacking unified scheduling and intelligent traffic management. Information transmission delays and low resource utilization significantly hinder cross-departmental and cross-regional business collaboration.

3. Severe Data Security and Compliance Challenges: Leakage of core process parameters and user data will lead to significant losses. Meanwhile, countries around the world continue to tighten regulatory requirements on data outbound and privacy protection, forcing enterprises to find more robust compliance solutions.

Against this backdrop, automotive enterprises going global not only need cross-border interconnection capabilities but also an integrated network-security architecture to support global operations.

SASE Architecture: Realizing a "Single Network" for Global Business

Leveraging 219 global PoP resources and intelligent network technology, GLINK has built an integrated SASE solution for the automotive and auto parts industry, constructing an efficient, secure, and intelligent global network foundation for enterprises' digital global expansion.

Global High-Speed Interconnection

GLINK's 219 global PoP nodes, combined with a high-performance backbone network, ensure cross-border links have low-latency and high-reliability characteristics. Through intelligent traffic splitting and dynamic routing based on application priority, the solution prioritizes critical business traffic, improving overall bandwidth utilization and enabling efficient interconnection covering global R&D, production, and sales networks.

Intelligent Management

GLINK's central control platform provides enterprises with global visualization capabilities, real-time displaying global network topology and link status. Equipped with a built-in intelligent policy engine, the platform automatically generates and distributes optimized policies based on application characteristics, business priorities, and real-time network conditions, avoiding the drawbacks of traditional manual-dependent O&M. It also supports cross-regional unified management, allowing enterprises to centrally monitor and schedule global branches, factories, and supply chain nodes on a single interface, significantly improving O&M efficiency and management transparency.

High Reliability and Redundancy Design

Addressing the high requirements for continuous production in the automotive and auto parts industry, GLINK deploys multi-link redundancy and dual-CPE architecture at key nodes, achieving dual protection at the device and link levels. When the primary link or device malfunctions, the system can switch services within milliseconds to ensure uninterrupted business operations. CPE devices support plug-and-play, with configurations uniformly distributed remotely via the central control platform, shortening global deployment cycles, reducing on-site O&M reliance, and ensuring rapid network launch and long-term stable operation.

End-to-End O&M and Security Protection

In addition, GLINK deeply integrates SASE security capabilities with network solutions, providing full-stack protection in access control, data encryption, threat detection, and other aspects to ensure the security and reliability of cross-border data transmission. Relying on the NSOC O&M center and 7×24-hour O&M services, it offers enterprises real-time monitoring, early warning, and emergency response, forming a comprehensive security and O&M guarantee system to help enterprises confidently address complex international compliance and network security challenges.

Building the Future Together: Helping China's Automotive Industry Expand Globally

With the deepening of new energy vehicles, intelligent driving, and global expansion strategies, automotive enterprises' reliance on cross-border networks and security will further increase. GLINK Century will continue to deepen its focus on the automotive industry, leverage its advantages in global resource layout, technological innovation, and compliance guarantees, and work with upstream and downstream partners in the industrial chain to jointly promote the globalization and digital upgrading of China's automotive and auto parts industry.
