Acceleration Area

An acceleration area is where your clients or end users use global accelerators to access your application faster. You can deploy a global accelerator in the Chinese mainland, outside the Chinese mainland (excluding Europe), and Europe. For example, if you deploy your application in the Chinese mainland and want users outside the Chinese mainland (excluding Europe) to access your application faster, you can select Outside the Chinese mainland for Applicability when creating a global accelerator.

Global Accelerator deploys corresponding access points in different acceleration areas. Table 1 shows the access points.

**Table 1** Access points
Applicability	Geographic Region	Access Point
Chinese mainland	Chinese mainland	Guangzhou, Beijing, and Shanghai
Outside the Chinese mainland	Asia Pacific	Hong Kong (China), Singapore, Bangkok (Thailand), Jakarta (Indonesia), Manila (Philippines), Tokyo (Japan), and Ho Chi Minh (Vietnam)
	Latin America	Bogota (Colombia), Mexico City (Mexico), Sao Paulo (Brazil), and Santiago (Chile)
	Middle East	Istanbul (Türkiye), Dubai (United Arab Emirates), and Riyadh (Saudi Arabia)
	Africa	Johannesburg (South Africa) and Cairo (Egypt)
Europe	Europe	Paris (France), Frankfurt (Germany), and Dublin (Ireland)

If you want users in Europe to access your application faster, submit a service ticket to obtain the Open Cloud Service Alliance permissions in EU-Dublin first.
