Alibaba gaat buiten China concurreren met Microsoft, Amazon
Het Chinese internetbedrijf Alibaba heeft bekend gemaakt vier nieuwe datacentra buiten de eigen landsgrenzen te gaan bouwen om op wereldschaal te kunnen concurreren met onder meer Microsoft, Google en Amazon. 

Volgens de plannen zal Alibaba datacentra neerzetten in Dubai, Japan, Australië en Duitsland. In eigen land biedt Alibaba cloudactiviteiten onder de naam Aliyun, dat snel kon groeien vanwege de nadruk van de Chinese overheid op binnenlandse cloudtechnologie. 

Op de wereldwijde markt voor cloud computing echter speelt Alibaba een veel kleinere rol, al is er sprake van flinke groei. In zijn laatst gerapporteerde kwartaal meldde Alibaba een omzetgroei van 130 procent voor zijn cloud business waardoor deze uitkwam op 224 miljoen dollar. Het aantal betalende klanten steeg op jaarbasis van 577,000 naar 651,000. Wel draaide de divisie een nettoverlies, namelijk 80 miljoen dollar.
