We will continue to bring more partners online to grow our cloud computing ecosystem,\u201d said Sicheng Yu, vice president, Aliyun.<\/p>\n<p>Raejeanne Skillern, general manager of cloud service provider business at Intel said: \u201cFor years Intel and Alibaba have collaborated on optimizing hardware and software technology across the data center for Alibaba&#8217;s unique workloads. As a partner in Aliyun&#8217;s Marketplace Alliance Program, Intel looks forward to continuing our collaboration to promoting joint technology solutions that are based on Intel Architecture specifically tailored to the rapidly growing market of international public cloud consumers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The move is part of Alibaba\u2019s efforts to rapidly expand its presence internationally. This year the company put its first datacentre in the US, and just last week announced Equinix would offer direct access to its cloud platform globally. The company, often viewed as the Chinese Amazon, also plans to set up a joint venture with Meeras in Dubai that specialises in systems integration with a focus on big data and cloud-based services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The company&rsquo;s Marketplace Alliance Program (MAP) will see it partner with large tech and datacentre operators, initially including Intel, Singtel, Meeras, Equinix and PCCW among others to help localise its cloud computing services and grow its ecosystem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":105,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2221,2339,618,1993,2310,2534,1976,2748,2736],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15108","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-alibaba","category-aliyun","category-equinix","category-infrastructure-as-a-service","category-intel","category-meeras","category-news-analysis","category-raejeanne-skillern","category-sicheng-yu"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15108","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/105"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15108"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15108\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15109,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15108\/revisions\/15109"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15108"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15108"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15108"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
