FAQs

Get answers to your China connectivity questions and discover how Alkira simplifies cross-border networking.


Do we need to deploy hardware or agents in China to use Alkira?
+

No. Alkira is delivered as a cloud service, so you don’t need to deploy new hardware or endpoint agents in China for core
connectivity. You can, however, continue to use your existing devices, firewalls, or SD-WAN where appropriate.


Which locations and environments can Alkira connect to and from China?
+

Alkira can connect China to your wider global network—across public cloud environments, data centers, campuses, branches,
and edge sites—where supported by underlying providers. This allows you to treat China as part of a single global backbone
rather than a separate, one-off network.


Can Alkira work alongside our existing MPLS or VPN services in China?
+

Yes. Alkira can augment your existing MPLS or VPN footprint, provide additional cloud and partner connectivity, and support
a phased migration if you choose to move more traffic onto the Alkira backbone over time.


How is the China connectivity environment managed day to day?
+

All regions—including China—are managed from Alkira’s cloud-based console. You define and enforce policies, view traffic,
and troubleshoot issues from a single pane of glass, instead of operating a separate China-specific network.


Can Alkira support partners, suppliers, or customers based in China?
+

Yes. Alkira can help you provide secure, policy-driven connectivity between your global environment and external entities in
or connected to China—such as partners, suppliers, or joint ventures—while maintaining strong segmentation and governance.
Availability may depend on underlying providers and local regulatory constraints, and our Alkira team can help confirm
support for your specific use cases.
