Alibaba Opens First Hong Kong Data Center

Alibaba Group announced today that its first cloud computing unit in Hong Kong will launch on May 12. Following their sites in Hangzhou, Qingdao, and Beijing, this will become the company’s fourth site.

Although Alibaba’s cloud computing unit generates only $90 million in revenue (a mere 1.4% of its total revenue), analysts have suggested that data management services will become increasingly important as the site continues its rapid growth. Moreover, according to a report by the China Software Industry Association, “China’s cloud-computing value chain is expected to be worth $122 billion by 2015.”

The launch of the new data center is the company’s first step to expand its cloud computing business outside of mainland China. However, the e-commerce giant will be entering into a field that is competitive; Amazon Web Services and IBM already have major tech companies as their customers.
