loud technology has become increasingly more important over the past few years as businesses embark on their digital transformation journey. Founded by Chinese computer scientist Wang Jian in 2009, Alibaba Cloud has transformed into a major global player. The Jakarta Post’s Deni Ghifari spoke to Alibaba Cloud intelligence international president Selina Yuan on Jan. 10 about the company’s business, achievements and plans going forward.
Question: What does Alibaba Cloud offer for customers?
Answer: We provide cloud, computing, networking, storage, security and also many infrastructure as a service (IaaS) or products and also platform as a service (PaaS) solutions. These are the main accounts running on our data centers, which, for Alibaba Cloud, is a fundamental part of business.
On top of that, we are also involved in big data, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. One example on that is we have what we call as customer developer platform, which is mainly based on big data and AI.
We also have software as a service (SaaS) but, generally, our most mature products for our overseas customers come from Iaas and PaaS, in which we have over 100 products and solutions for the former and over 1,000 for the latter.
