Das neue Datencenter in den USA dient vorerst nur chinesiche Firmen in den USA
Die Investionssumme des Centers muß gewaltig sein, und steht dann im
direkten Wettbewert mit den "Großen" Amazon, Microsoft und Google.
-----------
Mainland e-commerce titan Alibaba Group Holding has invested 2.4 billion yuan (HK$2.96 billion) in Beijing Enlight Media, the TV program producer said yesterday.
The move follows investments by Alibaba worth more than US$3.1 billion (HK$24.18 billion) in the entertainment industry last year, as the firm expands into film and entertainment content.
Meanwhile, in the United States, Alibaba has launched a cloud computing hub in Silicon Valley, its first outside China. The new California data center marks the firm's latest expansion on US soil, and into a hotly contested market now dominated by Amazon.com, Microsoft and Google.
Alibaba's Aliyun cloud division intends the new data center to cater initially to Chinese companies with operations in the US, including retail, internet and gaming firms.
It will later target US firms seeking a presence in both countries, Ethan Yu, vice president at Alibaba, who runs the international cloud business, said.
"This is a very strategic move for us," Yu added.
He declined to say how much Alibaba invested in the data center or disclose its location for security reasons. REUTERS
