China's cloud computing accelerated to sea, Ali Cloud Thailand's second data center opened

China's cloud computing and artificial intelligence technologies are accelerating to the sea. On February 13, Alibaba Cloud announced the official opening of the second data center in Thailand, which will provide cloud computing resources for local Thai enterprises, Chinese overseas companies and local developers to meet the growing local demand for emerging formats such as Internet and financial technology.

In recent years, Chinese cloud computing enterprises have grown rapidly in overseas markets, taking Alibaba Cloud as an example, its market size has increased by more than 20 times in five years. As the market expands, it announced in May last year that it will increase its overseas cloud infrastructure, investing in new data centers in five countries around the world, namely Thailand, South Korea, the Philippines, Malaysia and Mexico.

Chawalit Ueaferua, head of the technology department at White Channel, a well-known local TV and streaming service that enables smooth HD playback through Alibaba Cloud's video-on-demand solution, said the partnership has greatly improved their ability to provide seamless video services to viewers. Cutting-edge technologies from Chinese companies enable viewers to enjoy high-quality content anytime, anywhere.

"The Thai cloud computing market is in a stage of rapid expansion, and the digital demand and AI demand of local enterprises are very strong," said Yuan Haojun, vice president of Aliyun International and general manager of the South Pacific and Japan region. "We will continue to increase technology investment and local service capacity building in the Thai market to help local customers seize the opportunities of the AI era." It is reported that at present, Alibaba Cloud operates 86 availability zones in 28 regions around the world, serving more than one million customers overseas, including the International Olympic Committee, Olympic Broadcasting Services, LVMH Group, Bayer China, Malaysia's largest electrical retailer Senheng, Indonesia's Financial group Astra Financial and other well-known enterprises.
