Alibaba Cloud yesterday announced its first datacenters in Brazil, France, and The Netherlands, plus expansion of its presence in five other countries outside China. The cloudy offshoot of giant e-tailer Alibaba already operates 91 availability zones in 29 regions, 14 of which are in China - a market in which it enjoys dominant market share thanks to both its solid offerings and the fact that global rivals AWS, Azure, and Google have limited presences in the Middle Kingdom.
"Today's service enhancements reflect our continued commitment to the European market, facilitating businesses in the region with AI-powered tools and solutions to stay competitive in the evolving AI era."
