China Tower's CDN edge computing solution based on Intel servers and StarlingX
summary
China Tower opens near one million machine rooms to OTT CDN vendors and pilots an edge CDN on Intel x86 servers using StarlingX to provide isolated multi‑tenant CDN instances with central orchestration. A Shanghai trial spans 15 tower sites, with local edge nodes (three-node edge clusters in the demo) running OpenStack VMs, Kubernetes containers, remote software rolling updates and hot patches. Technical tests with leading OTT vendors meet latency and isolation targets and scale for nationwide rollout.
