Summary: Alibaba’s cloud arm Aliyun is setting up a second Silicon Valley-based data centre.
Details: This would be Aliyun’s second data centre in the US and ninth on a global basis. There are no details publicly available but our digging tells us this data centre is with 21 Vianet on a Server Farm Realty wholesale property. Pointing to how things progressing, this developments comes less than year after the first data centre in Silicon Valley was launched.
Data point: Alibaba also mentioned that ‘overseas business’ – presumably non-China business – has quadrupled since the recent data centre expansions in the US and Singapore began.
