Alibaba’s cloud-computing arm has opened its first data centres in the U.K., with two sites operational in London.

The move comes in response to increased demand for Alibaba Cloud services across the United Kingdom and will enable firms to accelerate their uptake of digital infrastructures. Alibaba Cloud said in a statement.

It said that the London-based centres will offer a suite of Alibaba Cloud products and services, including Elastic Computing, Storage, Database, Network, Application Services, and Big Data Analytics.

Started in 2009, Alibaba Cloud has expanded beyond China in a direct challenge to Amazon Web Services, the e-commerce giant’s division that dominates cloud computing.

Alibaba Cloud is now the fourth-biggest global provider of cloud infrastructure and related services, behind Amazon.com Inc., Microsoft Corp. and Alphabet Inc.’s Google, according to a report by Synergy Research Group in June.

“Our expansion into the United Kingdom, and by extension into Europe, is in direct response to the rapidly increasing demands we have seen for local facilities within the region,” said Yeming Wang, general manager of Alibaba Cloud EMEA.

“Using AI-powered and data-driven technology, our latest data centres will offer customers complete access to our wide range of cloud services from machine learning capabilities to predictive data analytics – ensuring that we continue to offer an unparalleled level of service. We are incredibly proud to take this latest step in our continued investment in EMEA.”
