Case Study: Guangdong Aofei Data Technology Co. Ltd achieves global CDN scale and low-latency content delivery with Equinix

Aofei Data Technology Co. Ltd - Customer Case Study

Guangdong Aofei Data Technology is a Mainland China–based data center and CDN services provider (230 employees, US$60M revenue) that delivers Mandarin content for customers including Sohu, iQiyi and Funshion. With plans to expand its global footprint from 15 to 25 locations by 2020, Aofei faced the challenge of scaling internationally while all staff were located in China — risking higher latency and poor user experience — and needed a partner that could provide both robust interconnection and local, language-capable on‑the‑ground support.

Aofei partnered with Equinix, deploying points of presence in multiple IBX data centers (Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore, New York, Los Angeles, Amsterdam, Frankfurt) and using Equinix Cloud Exchange and Internet Exchange to interconnect with service providers and CSPs. The move gave Aofei access to 100+ peering networks, enabled growth from a 10G to 100G port in Equinix Hong Kong, opened connections to major clouds (AWS, Azure, SoftLayer, Aliyun, Tencent) and provided 24/7 on‑site Smart Hands—resulting in lower latency, faster edge delivery and scalable international expansion.
