Partnering with E-Glober to help Turkish
companies tap into new opportunities in digital age
Alibaba Cloud, the cloud computing arm of Alibaba Group, and
E-Glober today announced a partnership to bring powerful, reliable
and cost-effective cloud computing products and services to the
Turkish market, in a bid to help local businesses capture
opportunities presented by digital transformation.
E-Glober is Turkey’s sole authorized agent and business partner
of Alibaba Group’s global wholesale platform Alibaba.com. The
extended partnership that combines Alibaba Cloud’s powerful cloud
computing capabilities and global infrastructure, and E-Glober’s
local connections and insights, will provide a compelling offering
to meet the digitalization and international expansion needs of
local companies.
Through the partnership, Turkish businesses of all sizes will
have access to Alibaba Cloud’s comprehensive suite of cloud
products and services, ranging from elastic computing, database
service, networking, security and middleware to analytics and big
data. This full range of solutions will satisfy the surging needs
of local enterprises across a number of industries, including
online retail, multimedia and gaming.
In particular, the Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service (ECS)
will help Turkish companies power their cloud applications, achieve
faster results with lower latency, and scale capacity based on
real-time demands. Access to the service will be fundamental for
Turkish companies, especially Internet companies and SMEs, seeking
to drive cost savings, accelerate innovation, and speed
time-to-market.
Cloud adoption in Turkey is gaining momentum, with a public
cloud market valued at US$96.93 million in 2017, according to IDC1.
In addition, Turkey is considered as a gateway between East and
West and is a key country within the Belt and Road Initiative. This
enhanced connectivity, as well as increasing trade activities in
the region, are bringing growth opportunities to Turkish companies
equipped with cloud computing technology. By leveraging Alibaba
Cloud’s global infrastructure, Turkish companies can expand their
geographic reach to support international operations and better
compete in global trade.
Yeming Wang, Deputy General Manager of Alibaba Cloud Global,
said: “Alibaba Cloud has always been dedicated to making our
future-proof technology inclusive within the markets in which we
operate. We aim to become the preferred cloud service provider for
all sizes of business in Turkey by providing a full range of cloud
solutions and combining this with E-Glober’s local
expertise. Working with knowledgeable and well-connected local
partners such as E-Glober will help mitigate language and cultural
barriers, as well as reinforce Alibaba Cloud’s foothold within the
market when it comes to helping Turkish companies internationalize
and seize opportunities in this digital age.”
Orkan Aytulun, CEO of E-Glober said: “There is a genuine
interest among Turkish companies to leverage the full capabilities
of cloud, which has been encouraging for us to see. By partnering
with Alibaba Cloud, an influential global cloud service provider,
we can meet the increasing market demand for cutting-edge cloud
products and services to be brought to this high potential
market.”
Alibaba Cloud now has 43 availability zones across 18 regions
globally, with coverage extending across mainland China, Hong Kong,
Singapore, Malaysia, India, Indonesia, Japan, Australia, the Middle
East, Europe, India and the U.S. (East and West Coast).
