Global Cloud Computing leader offers proven
solutions used by Alibaba Group to empower businesses with
actionable insights
Alibaba Cloud, the cloud computing arm of Alibaba Group, today
launched seven new solutions, and two new features for the
international markets at the Mobile World Congress. The launches
range from serverless computing, data analytics, global networking,
high performance storage, and enterprise database that let
customers easily and reliably derive actionable business insight to
thrive in the age of intelligent business. These new services are
part of the technology backbone underpinning Alibaba Group’s
various business units including retail, fin-tech, logistics, media
and entertainment, and digital branding and marketing. With these
new capabilities, global customers can take advantage of the
proven, scalable, and secure technologies and accelerate business
growth.
Nowadays, global enterprises and internet startups alike need to
quickly derive insights from data and make intelligent business
decisions in a timely manner. They typically face challenges
managing and analyzing data at a massive scale and processing
real-time streaming data. To solve these for the customers, Alibaba
Cloud launched Realtime Compute that can easily process
millions of events/sec and support real-time decision making, such
as for fraud detection, social analytics, and QoS monitoring of
Telco networks. To help customers manage and analyze large corps of
data, Alibaba Cloud introduced the improved DataWorks and
MaxCompute 2.0 that can handle processing 100PB/day. For
customers who want to explore unstructured, heterogeneous data sets
on-demand, Data Lake Analytics allows them to easily query
petabytes of data in serverless fashion with standard SQL and only
pay for the amount of data scanned.
“Businesses around the world are increasingly relying on data
intelligence to drive innovation, digitalize operations, and
delight customers,” said Henry Zhang, Senior Staff Product Manager
of Alibaba Cloud International. “We work with customers from many
industries along this digital transformation journey. We are keen
to turn our proven in-house technology into broadly applicable
services and pass the benefits on to customers globally so they can
quickly build applications on top, such as for 5G, edge computing,
and IoT, and shorten the time-to-market.”
In addition to new products for data analytics, Alibaba Cloud
also introduced a number of powerful infrastructure enhancements to
support intelligent businesses at a global scale. Customers can now
deploy enterprise-grade database applications on ApsaraDB for
MariaDB TX and take advantage of SQL Server Enterprise
Always On to deploy enterprise level high availability and
disaster recovery plans. Customers developing file based High
Performance Computing workloads such as autonomous driving and
scientific discovery can now use Cloud Parallel File System
for first-class concurrency and bandwidth. Finally, Elastic
Container Instance allows customers to easily run containers
without the hassle of managing servers and clusters; and Global
Connection Solution help businesses easily deploy a reliable,
low latency global network to support their international business
operations.
“We believe in a virtuous cycle of building world-class
infrastructure, deploying intelligent applications on that
architecture, and using real-time analytics to make data-driven
decisions,” said Yeming Wang, General Manager, Alibaba Cloud EMEA.
“In addition, we offer robust cross-border solutions for
enterprises and ecosystem partners who are looking to expand
globally and into the rapidly growing Asian markets. These proven
and compliant solutions are already used by Alibaba Group and we
hope our customers can leverage our expertise to create more
differentiated value for their end-customers.”
These solutions and services have already generated positive
results for customers in China and are now becoming available to
more international customers.
