New products and features for an “All in Cloud” future
For businesses in the region and their pursuit of “All in Cloud”
strategies, Alibaba Cloud launched more than 10 new products and
features that are available for the first time outside of China and can
now be accessed by customers worldwide. The new product and feature
highlights include:
PolarDB: A MySQL and PostgreSQL – compatible relational database
built for the cloud that combines the performance and availability of
traditional enterprise databases at a much lower cost. It offers
excellent scalability, with the architecture of hardware-software
co-design. The solution can also scale up to 100TB in storage which
helps customers manage big data development. It can scale up to 88 vCPUs
and 710GB of memory and allows customers to pay for usage by the minute,
enabling customers to handle peak business traffic while minimizing cost.
Alibaba Log Service (SLS): SLS allows customers to automatically
collect logs from all your services, applications and platforms,
irrespective of whether they are on-premises or in the cloud. SLS allows
the log data to be tagged with context derived. SLS also allows
decisions to be taken on this data in near real time for trend analysis,
alerts or visualization.
Support of “Bring Your Own Key” (BYOK): An end-to-end security
service which provides customers encryption controls on both hardware
and software, protecting customers’ data in transit and at rest. The new
BYOK feature now supports ECS Cloud Disk, OSS and RDS.
SaaS Accelerator: A platform where technology partners can easily
build and launch SaaS applications and leverage proven business and
technology know-how in the Alibaba Economy. The accelerator helps SaaS
providers quickly deploy and test their applications on the cloud,
shorten the implementation lifecycle, and accelerate time-to-market. It
enables ecosystem partners, such as enterprises in the e-commerce,
lodging, and travel industries, to quickly reach their customers on
Alibaba platforms. It also defines three centers for the SaaS ecosystem:
the commercial center, the capability center, and the technology center.
Smart Access Gateway (SAG) Software: An app that allows endpoint
devices such as cell phones, POS and laptops to securely get connected
with Alibaba Cloud and on-premises data centers in one click,
accelerating access to enterprise applications and cloud resources.
Container Registry (ACR) Enterprise Edition: Alibaba Cloud
Container Registry (ACR) is a fully-managed container registry that
allows developers to easily store, manage, and deploy container images.
ACR Enterprise Edition is integrated with the Alibaba Cloud Container
Service, simplifying customers’ deployment to production workflows. It
eliminates the need for customers to operate their own container
repositories or worry about scaling the underlying infrastructure. ACR
hosts customers’ container images in a highly available and scalable
architecture, where customers can reliably deploy containers and launch
applications at a global scale.
Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK): A fully-managed service
compatible with Kubernetes to help users focus on their applications
rather than managing container infrastructure. It provides
enterprise-level high-performance and flexible management of Kubernetes
containerized applications throughout the application lifecycle. This
service simplifies cluster creation and expansion and integrates Alibaba
Cloud capabilities in virtualization, storage, network, and security,
providing an improved running environment for Kubernetes containerized
applications.
In line with its commitment to champion small businesses, Alibaba Cloud
also launched an upgraded service support campaign designed for small
and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). SME customers will now be able to
benefit from greater access to resources and support from Alibaba Cloud.
Key benefits of the enhanced support and service include dedicated
one-on-one presale consultations, 24/7 technical support, a doubling of
complimentary tech support tickets and swifter after-sales support.
