SoftLayer 宣布放弃与中国大陆的直连

SoftLayer continuously analyses and evaluates the way in we deliver services to our customers in order to bring the best possible combination of performance and price in the market.
In particular we have continued evaluating the connectivity services we provide from our data centers in Tokyo, Singapore, and Hong Kong into mainland China through Chinese providers and have continued to see that this service does not provide a good cost-benefit proposition for our customers given the current cost point of these connections. 
We have elected to discontinue the use of these direct circuits into mainland China effective immediately.
We have begun moving traffic off these links from our Hong Kong, Singapore, and Tokyo locations which may result in some customers in those locations noticing increased latency due to the traffic shift away from the direct circuits into circuits provided by other local vendors in region.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you and / or your customers. 

为了尽可能的平衡这个市场上服务的性能和价格， SoftLayer 对我们提供给客户的服务进行了持续的评估。 
特别是，我们持续的评估了我们位于东京、新加坡和香港的数据中心通过中国供应商进入中国内地的连接服务，我们发现它并不是一个成本效益良好的解决方案。 
我们已经决定立即停止这些到中国大陆的直接连接。
我们已经开始从我们的香港、新加坡和东京机房移除这些直接连接，因为直接连接转变为其他地方的供应商提供的连接，这将会使一些客户感觉到延迟增加。
由此给您和您的客户带来的不便，我们感到非常抱歉。
