First global public cloud platform in Indonesia
to meet growing needs driven by digital transformation within the
country
Alibaba Cloud, the cloud computing arm of Alibaba Group, today
announced the commencement of operations for its first data center
in Indonesia. The data center is the first global public cloud
platform in the country that will now provide a local choice for
Indonesian businesses, particularly SMEs and startups, by offering
a powerful, reliable and cost-effective cloud product and services.
Alibaba Cloud’s data center will also help Indonesian customers
with low latency or data residency requirements to store and
process data within the country.
The data center will offer a comprehensive suite of cloud
products and services ranging from elastic computing, database
service, networking, security and middleware to analytics and big
data. This full range of Alibaba Cloud’s solutions will satisfy the
surging needs of local enterprises across a range of industries
including e-commerce, media, Fintech, gaming, logistics,
transportation and manufacturing. In particular, the big data
service “MaxCompute”, a big data platform that allows users to
store and process massive amounts of structural data to levels as
high as terabyte or even petabyte, will bring sophisticated data
intelligence services such as data processing, analytics and
machine learning to Indonesian businesses, empowering data-driven
innovation and business transformation.
“As the only global cloud services provider originating from
Asia, we are uniquely positioned with cultural and contextual
advantages to provide innovative data intelligence solutions and
computing capabilities to customers across this region,” said Alex
Li, General Manager of Asia Pacific, Alibaba Cloud.
The launch of the data center is part of Alibaba Cloud’s ongoing
commitment to support the Indonesian government’s initiative to
create 1,000 startups by 2020. For SMEs and startups, access to
scalable and affordable cloud services are essential to accelerate
their growth. By migrating IT infrastructure to Alibaba Cloud,
these growing firms can leverage the available powerful cloud
services to scale rapidly, accelerate innovation and reduce cost.
They can expand their geographic reach through Alibaba Cloud’s
established global network to support international operations and
better compete in global trade.
In order to incubate a local internet-related ecosystem, Alibaba
Cloud also announced that it will bring the Alibaba Cloud Certified
Professional (“ACP”) program to Indonesia. Within a year, the
program aims to train 300 and certify 100 cloud-savvy professionals
in Indonesia, providing both entrepreneurs and local talent with
knowledge regarding the best-in-class technology in cloud
computing, big data and security.
“Alibaba Cloud has always been at the forefront of driving the
future of data intelligence, and we are dedicated to making our
technology as inclusive as possible within the markets we operate.
By providing a full range of cutting edge cloud solutions and
combining this with our expertise, we can assist Indonesian SMEs,
government, and enterprises to integrate advanced cloud technology
into their daily operations to drive innovation and thrive in the
digital age,” said Raymond Ma, Head of Alibaba Cloud ASEAN &
ANZ.
Alibaba Cloud already has a proven track record of helping
Indonesian internet companies to innovate their business on cloud,
including Tokopedia, GTech Digital Asia, Dwidaya Tour, and
Yogrt.
Tokopedia, one of the largest online marketplaces in Indonesia,
currently runs over 20 core applications and various kinds of
managed services on Alibaba Cloud. The company is also leveraging
Alibaba Cloud’s AI solutions to gain insights from its huge data
sets and to improve its customer experience.
Another successful example is GTech Digital Asia. The company is
using Alibaba Cloud’s solutions ranging from elastic computing
services to relational database to support its omni-channel
e-commerce platform. The newly launched data center will further
help GTech Digital Asia to meet the data residency requirement.
The Indonesia data center adds to Alibaba Cloud’s data centers
in 17 regions worldwide. Alibaba Cloud has a dedicated team of
solutions architects and professional consultants in Indonesia to
provide services from cloud consulting to after-sales support.
