Alibaba Cloud, the cloud computing arm of Alibaba Group, has expanded data centre operations in Singapore with the establishment of a
second availability zone.
In September 2015, Alibaba Cloud established a data centre in Singapore to provide enhanced cloud and big data services across Southeast Asia. The new availability zone provides higher capacity to meet enterprise users’ demands for high availability and disaster recovery.
“The expansion of our Singapore data centre enables us to meet the rapidly growing demand for cloud computing resources in Southeast Asia. This expansion also demonstrates our ongoing commitment to providing one-stop global cloud and big data services to both Chinese and international enterprises. We will continue to grow our coverage worldwide,” said Sicheng YU, Vice President of Alibaba Group and General Manager of Alibaba Cloud International.
Alibaba Cloud has data centres in the US, Hong Kong and Singapore, and plans to establish new data centres in other regions including Japan, the Middle East and Australia, among other areas.
Alibaba Cloud has also achieved two new certifications - Singapore Multi-Tier Cloud Security (MTCS) standard Level 3 and the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS), a payment card security qualification.
The MTCS standard was developed under the direction of the Information Technology Standards Committee (ITSC) for cloud service providers in Singapore. The standard has three levels of security, and Alibaba Cloud has achieved the highest level security for the certification, Level 3.
The achievement of MTCS Level 3 certification is on top of the Information Security Management System Certification ISO27001 and Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) Star certification which Alibaba Cloud had received previously. It facilitates Alibaba Cloud’s international expansion as enterprises now demand higher security services from cloud service providers.
Alibaba Cloud's PCI-DSS compliance certification for its public cloud services in Singapore and the US States. The compliance process involves the evaluation of payment card data security in areas like credit card numbers, CVV2 numbers, as well as account/password transmission and storage security.
