Provision of international cloud services
will boost regional SMEs
Alibaba Cloud, the cloud computing arm of Alibaba Group,
announced today at its Computing Conference in Shanghai that it
plans to establish two new data centers in Mumbai, India and
Jakarta, Indonesia, and currently anticipates opening the two new
IDCs during the current fiscal year, ending on March 31, 2018.
Together with the recently announced data center in Malaysia,
Alibaba Cloud will significantly increase its computing resources
in Asia, allowing greater support for small and medium enterprises
(SMEs) throughout the region with powerful, scalable,
cost-effective and secure cloud capabilities.
“I believe Alibaba Cloud, as the only global cloud services
provider originating from Asia, is uniquely positioned with
cultural and contextual advantages to provide innovative data
intelligence and computing capabilities to customers in this
region. Establishing data centers in India and Indonesia will
further strengthen our position in the region and across the
globe,” said Simon Hu, Senior Vice President of Alibaba Group and
President of Alibaba Cloud.
With the three new data centers planned, Alibaba Cloud will
increase its total number of data center locations to 17, covering
mainland China, Australia, Germany, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore,
the United Arab Emirates and the United States.
The new Asian data centers will offer a full suite of services,
providing the flexibility for enterprises and organizations to
build their entire IT infrastructure for business on Alibaba Cloud
or run mission-critical and core applications on it.
Alibaba Cloud will be the first leading global cloud computing
company to establish an international cloud data center in
Indonesia, significantly enhancing the local IT infrastructure on
the back of Alibaba Cloud’s global data center network. The move
responds to Indonesia’s “1,000 Start-ups Movement” initiative
launched last year with the aim of nurturing 1,000 ventures by the
year 2020, and targeting a cumulative valuation of US$10
billion.
Servicing thousands of customers from India, Alibaba Cloud has
partnered with Global Cloud Xchange (GCX), a subsidiary of Reliance
Communications to directly access Alibaba Cloud Express Connect via
GCX’s CLOUD X Fusion. Also to be announced at the Computing
Conference, Alibaba Cloud has established a global partnership with
Tata Communications. The partnership will provide direct access to
Alibaba Cloud Express Connect via Tata Communications’ IZOTM
Private Connect service.
