Alibaba Cloud for Japan is ready for commercial launch on December 15, 2016.
The service is provided by SB Cloud Corporation, which is a joint venture between SoftBank Corp. and Alibaba Group Holding Limited.
Alibaba Cloud, the cloud computing arm of Alibaba Group, has the largest share of the Chinese market with its services. Its services provide the critical infrastructure that supports the Alibaba Group’s e-commerce sites, which recently processed a maximum 175,000 orders per second during this year’s Singles’ Day, a large-scale sale that takes place in China on November 11.
With Alibaba Cloud, customers can use Alibaba Group hosted data centers in China, the United States, Hong Kong, Singapore and other locations in addition to those hosted by SB Cloud in Japan.
