Alibaba Cloud, the Chinese tech titan’s cloud computing arm, today announced the launch of a second data center in Indonesia, doubling its local capacity.
This comes only 10 months after it set up its first data center in the archipelago. Alibaba also has data centers in Singapore and Malaysia.
According to the company, both centers in Indonesia will provide disaster-recovery capabilities and allow customers to “deploy mission-critical workloads in multiple availability zones and switch over within seconds.” They will also provide a host of products and services including elastic computing, storage, database services, and middleware.
Opening a second data center was driven by strong customer demand, Alibaba said. There has also been strong demand from Indonesian firms for big data and analytics solutions.
Apart from opening the new facility, Alibaba has also rolled out its Internet Champion Global Accelerator Program. It aims to empower local talent and enterprises to become part of the digital economy.
