TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Alibaba Cloud has established two data centers to capture the US$400 million cloud market in Indonesia. Indonesia is a big market with its 60 million SMEs who prefer to adopt public cloud. The cloud market in Indonesia, valued at US$172 million in 2016, would grow to US$1.2 billion in 2020.

In Indonesia, Alibaba Cloud is powered by local partners in order to establish a comprehensive ecosystem to deliver relevant and responsive solutions that cater to the specific needs of Indonesian customers.
