The growth of China's cloud computing industry

Published December 2017

Similar to trends in the West, companies in China are adopting cloud services such as content delivery networks, server load balancers, object storage services and database management tools to power their businesses. Although cloud technology is nascent in terms of adoption compared to more mature markets, China is by no means lagging in terms of growth and technical expertise.

In a short space of time China has emerged as a global leader in data-intensive computing that includes Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IOT), Virtual Reality (VR), Online-to-Offline (020) services, Smart Cars and Online Payments.
