Maintained its position for the third
consecutive year
Alibaba Cloud, the data intelligence backbone of Alibaba Group,
announced that it has the third biggest market share in the global
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) market and the biggest in the
Asia Pacific region for the third year in a row in 2019, said the
leading global research and advisory firm Gartner in its latest
report.
Alibaba’s market share in the global IaaS market climbed to 9.1%
in 2019, up from 7.7% the year earlier, said the firm. The Gartner
report, Market Share: IT Services, 2019, also showed that in the
Asia Pacific region, Alibaba’s market share increased to 28.2% last
year, from 26.1% in 2018.
“We believe our strong growth and leading market position is a
testament to the hard work of our teams and the support of our many
customers and partners around the world, to whom we are truly
grateful," said Jeff Zhang, president of Alibaba Cloud
Intelligence. "We look forward to continuing our work, which
enables our global customers and partners to expedite their digital
transformation journeys through our scalable, robust and secure
infrastructure, advanced analytics capabilities and thriving
ecosystem."
"To us, the report once again demonstrated Alibaba Cloud's
commitment to our global strategy to expand on our worldwide
presence by enhancing our global infrastructure and network." added
Zhang.
Alibaba Cloud currently has 63 availability zones in 21 regions,
serving millions of customers across the globe. It has more than 70
security and compliance accreditations worldwide.
Alibaba Cloud is committed to offering enhanced cloud services
to more clients across the globe. It announced last week that it
will invest an additional RMB200 billion (approximately US$28
billion) in the next three years on its cloud infrastructure,
focusing on technologies including operating system, servers, chips
and network.
Alibaba Cloud is the technology and public cloud platform
underpinning Alibaba’s rich and diverse ecosystem, which ranges
from e-commerce and payment, to logistics and supply chain
management solutions. It supported $38.4 billion in transactions on
a single day during Alibaba’s 11.11 Global Shopping Festival last
year.
In addition to Gartner’s findings, an earlier report from market
research and advisory firm International Data Corporation (IDC),
showed that Alibaba Cloud recorded the fastest year-on-year revenue
growth versus other global cloud service providers in the first
half of last year.
