Alibaba Cloud has been recognized for its critical cloud abilities of compute, storage, network and security among global cloud service providers on the newly released 2021 Gartner Solution Scorecard for Alibaba Cloud International IaaS & PaaS.
Alibaba Cloud’s IaaS (infrastructure as a service) + PaaS (platform as a service) offerings were recognized with the 3rd highest overall solution score of 81% among all evaluated international vendors in this market.
Alibaba Cloud scored 86% in the required criteria in the 2021 scorecard. It also met 74% of the preferred criteria and 58% of the optional criteria respectively.
This marked the third consecutive year that Gartner has published a Solution Scorecard about Alibaba Cloud. Alibaba Cloud believes this year’s scores reflect its increased infrastructure and marketing presence outside China, as well as differential global products.
“We have continued to be recognized in the Gartner Solution Scorecard in the past two years by broadening our international offerings and our infrastructure options. In our opinion, these efforts, as reflected in the scorecard, have given us a competitive advantage over other global players,” said Jeff Zhang, President of Alibaba Cloud Intelligence. “Going forward, we will strengthen our core IaaS+PaaS features and step up the rollout of new services and features in all regions, with the aim of providing the best cloud experience to our customers worldwide.”
