According to reports, Alibaba announced today that it has invested $ 1 billion for “upgrade of the global partner ecosystem”. Alibaba is preparing to double its overseas influence as a cloud business giant. Alibaba Cloud is currently the third largest public cloud provider in the world. This achievement is inseparable from its huge local allies formed worldwide.
Alibaba recruits local partners to take responsibilities such as sales, technical support and customer service. The company said that this $ 1 billion plan is to “support partners to conduct technical innovation and market expansion through Alibaba Cloud in the next three fiscal years. Used for financial and non -financial incentives, including funds, rebates and listing plans. ”
Alibaba Cloud currently has about 11,000 partners around the world, including Salesforce, VMware, Fortinet, IBM, and Neo4J.
According to the market research company Gartner, Alibaba Cloud’s market share in 2021 was 9.5%, behind Microsoft (21%) and Amazon (39%).
Alibaba Cloud Headquarters is located in Hangzhou and is involved in the world. It has become the first choice of cloud solutions for many Chinese companies. But the increasing situation of national security tensions forced some customers to stay away from Alibaba Cloud. According to reports, in order to win the support of the US regulatory agency, Tiktok left Alibaba Cloud and transferred all its US data to Oracle Server.
Even the early Chinese companies have made technical diversion. In the past few months, several Internet startups, including social networks and productivity tools, said that they have stored all offshore user data on foreign cloud services, just to avoid future supervision review.
Western technology companies are also facing the same decoupling pressure in China. my country’s data law prohibits user data from exit, so companies such as Apple and Tesla have long been stored in domestic cloud centers.
