Chinafy vs. 

Oracle

Looking for a Oracle alternative for China? Read on to learn how Chinafy differs from Oracle and or how you might use both together to accelerate your global digital presence.

About 

Oracle

Oracle Cloud is a cloud computing platform and service offered by Oracle Corporation, one of the world's largest software companies. The platform provides a suite of infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a service (SaaS) offerings that cater to businesses of all sizes and industries.

Oracle Cloud also offers specialized solutions, such as the Oracle Autonomous Database, which uses machine learning to automate database management tasks, and the Oracle Blockchain Platform, which provides a secure and scalable environment for building blockchain-based applications.

Oracle Cloud is designed to be highly secure, with multiple layers of security built into the platform, including advanced threat detection and identity management capabilities. It also provides a global network of data centers and a high-speed, low-latency network to ensure that businesses can access their applications and services quickly and reliably from anywhere in the world.

Use Case & Application

Chinafy and Oracle Cloud are two different platforms that specialize in enhancing website and web application performance, each with its own unique areas of expertise.

Like other CDNs and cloud providers, Oracle Cloud does not provide China web resource optimisation required for full functionality of a website in China.

Companies can elect to bolt Chinafy onto their Oracle Cloud stack to leverage Chinafy's web performance optimization for China-specific audiences, while continuing to utilize Oracle Cloud's range of services.

Chinafy vs. CDNs

CDNs are not able to resolve any resource compatibility issues on the software layer that websites face in China.

That is why a number of Tier 1 CDN providers including AWS, Azure, and Alibaba Cloud partner with Chinafy to further help their end-users have a stronger digital presence in China. Chinafy conversely works closely with these partners to offer our clients access to their other solutions.

By combining an intelligent China web compatibility suite with a fully-managed infrastructure stack - including a multi-CDN - Chinafy helps websites and web applications load an average of 5.6x faster in China and display more fully.

Single vs. Multi-CDN

Because of the way Chinafy works, websites that use Chinafy can leverage the best of two technology stacks -
i) their original one designed for visitors outside of China, complimented by
ii) one specifically for visitors from China, fully-managed by Chinafy.
Chinafy offers the option to use our multi-CDN stack. Fast near-China CDN and smart load balancing comes standard with all plans.

In contrast to single CDNs, our multi-CDN solution is deployed to combine various PoPs from different CDN providers so that it is compute-optimised solution offering more consistent coverage and optimal performance.

Onshore vs. Offshore PoPs

Use of any onshore CDN PoPs in China, irrespective of provider, requires an ICP license which relatedly requires an onshore China business entity.

Without one, most companies are leveraging the provider's Global CDN, including Near-China PoPs.

Compatibility in China

Oracle Cloud does not provide China compatibility solutions to handle for, resolving, or replacing resources that are blocked or inaccessible from China. Common technologies that interfere with a site’s functionality in China and may appear broken include Vimeo, Youtube, Twitter, Google APIs and more.

Do you use Oracle? Use both Chinafy and Oracle.

We regularly work with sites using various CDNs. 

CDNs inherently do not fully address web performance issues in China, as they do not address nor resolve any third-party issues. However, it doesn't mean you can't use other features and or leverage their leading CDN capabilities outside of China.

Do you have a regulated entity and ICP license?

A) If no, no problem. Learn more about how Chinafy helps companies to achieve near-native onshore performance, offshore without a separate site, ICP license or onshore hosting to compliment your existing tech stack. Bolt-on China access.
