Alibaba Cloud, which "does not measure up to its own strength", soared in 5 years!
Five years ago, Alibaba Cloud made a big bet and finally beat the international cloud vendor and became the only cloud partner in the Olympic Games. Looking back now, Alibaba Cloud has undoubtedly taken a good step, without this big gamble, Aliyun will not be able to take this step today.
In 2017, the IOC tried to use cloud computing to reduce the cost of Olympic events and change its traditional model. At that time, the Western cloud was far stronger than Alibaba Cloud in terms of fame and market share. Among them, Amazon accounted for more than 50% of the global share, while Alibaba Cloud was only 3.7% at the time. At that time, many people believed that Alibaba Cloud's participation in the bidding of Olympic cloud manufacturers was undoubtedly "a toad wants to eat swan meat". The result was a surprise, Alibaba Cloud defeated the Western cloud giants and became the only cloud partner manufacturer in the Olympic Games.
At the negotiation site, Alibaba Cloud used Chinese technology to refresh the cognition of many foreigners. Alibaba Cloud engineers used technology that had experienced the peak of Double 11 traffic to deploy a broadcast-level live broadcast environment in only 10 minutes, which made the IOC and other cloud vendors dissatisfied. Today, Alibaba Cloud has experienced three Olympic Games: the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, the Tokyo Olympics, and the Beijing Winter Olympics. Among them, the Beijing Winter Olympics have created Olympic history and are the first digital Olympic Games in history in which the core system is fully clouded.
In addition, Alibaba Cloud has also cooperated with Olympic Broadcasting Corporation to create the "Olympic Broadcasting Cloud", which has greatly reduced costs and improved the broadcast content of the event. From 2017 to this year, Alibaba Cloud's market share has also changed dramatically. Alibaba Cloud became the first cloud computing in the Asia-Pacific region and the third in the world, with a global market share surpassing Google's, reaching 9.5%. In the technical evaluation, there are four core technologies that have won the first place in the world. It can be said that in the field of cloud computing, which is full of Western enterprises, Alibaba Cloud has killed a bloody road out!
