Jakarta (VNA) – Chinese tech giant Alibaba plans to open its thirdcloud data centre in Indonesia in 2021 with a hope to expand its presence inthis market amidst rising competition.

Alibaba Cloud, a subsidiary of Alibaba,recently said that the centre will minimise data loss-related risks by dividingworkloads between the company’s three centres in Indonesia. The two previouscentres were built in 2018 and 2019.

Alibaba Cloud Country Manager Leon Chenstressed that opening an additional centre is very important as manybusinesses, including traditional enterprises such as banks , are shiftingtheir IT infrastructure to the cloud amid the pandemic.

Indonesia’s major cities, starting with Jakarta, formally entered a partiallockdown in late April, causing an uptick in demand for digital servicesincluding e-commerce, finance, online media, education and video games. Allthese services are lucrative markets for Alibaba.

However, rival tech behemoths Google andAmazon also plan to expand their cloud service subsidiaries in Indonesia, whichis the single largest digital economy in Southeast Asia.

Google Cloud opened a new Jakarta region inlate June, bringing its services closer to local customers, while Amazon WebServices plans to build a data centre in 2022.

Leon Chen said his company would also builda data scrubbing centre alongside the third data centre in Indonesia./.
