Alibaba Datacenter in Mumbai
Alibaba Cloud, the cloud computing arm of Alibaba Group, said that its Indian data center, located in the city of Mumbai, will open in January 2018. The company said that the new data centre will help meet the surging demand for cloud computing services among the fast-increasing number of Indian small and medium-size businesses in the region.
“India is a key market in Alibaba Cloud’s globalization strategy, and the firm sees tremendous business opportunity given the rapid growth of the Indian economy and the nature of the enterprises looking to expand from the country,” the company said in a statement.
Alibaba Cloud has partnered with RCom’s enterprise arm Global Cloud Xchange (GCX) that will enable direct access to Alibaba Cloud Express Connect via GCX’s CLOUD X Fusion service. Previously, Alibaba Cloud partnered with Tata Communications to provide direct access to Alibaba Cloud Express Connect via Tata Communications’ IZOTM Private Connect service.
Alibaba Cloud now has 33 availability zones across 16 economic centres globally, with coverage extending across mainland China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, Australia, the Middle East, Europe, India and the U.S. (East and West Coast).
The data center will offer a comprehensive suite of cloud products including largescale computing, storage resources, and Big Data processing capabilities.
Alibaba said that Indian businesses of all sizes can now run their applications on Alibaba Cloud’s cloud platform. Other data centre service offerings include elastic computing, database, storage and content delivery, networking, analytics and big data, containers, middleware, and security.
Alibaba Cloud will establish a local team of dedicated professional consultants to provide service planning, implementation and after-sales support, helping customers of all sizes as they move to the cloud and enabling them to realize their full growth potential. This will extend what Alibaba Cloud is already doing to service thousands of customers from India globally.
