Alibaba Cloud MaxCompute to Be Available in Indonesia Which Will Serve as the 12th Global Data Region

On February 9, 2018, Alibaba Cloud MaxCompute will be officially available in Jakarta. By then, Indonesia will be the 12th region in MaxCompute global layout following Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Beijing, Singapore, Sydney, Frankfurt, Kuala Lumpur, Silicon Valley, Tokyo, and Mumbai. MaxCompute will not only accelerate the application of big data development frameworks in Indonesia, but also enhance Alibaba Cloud's ability to provide big data computing and AI engines for different regions around the world.



MaxCompute is a mass data processing platform developed by Alibaba, which offers distributed processing capabilities for TB- or PB-level data and is widely applied in such fields as data analysis, data mining, and business intelligence. It is mainly used to store and compute mass structured data, and provides mass data warehouse solutions and big data analysis and modeling services. Alibaba Cloud's offline data businesses all run on MaxCompute.

MaxCompute uses a distributed architecture to process mass data efficiently and stores multiple copies. Its table-based data storage frees you from concern about file storage formats, and its SQL-based data processing frees you from concern about distributed technology details. It supports multi-user collaborative data analysis, multiple permission management methods, and flexible data access control policies. With MaxCompute, you can eliminate big data storage and computing bottlenecks and focus on data analysis and mining for maximized data value.

The data analysis and mining tasks can be started after a few steps without the need for building and maintaining clusters. MaxCompute provides a multi-layer data storage and access security mechanism to protect your data. In addition, it is billed according to the actual storage and computing consumption, minimizing data utilization cost.

The Jakarta region is deployed with the latest MaxCompute 2.0, which provides higher computing performance based on the brand new SQL 2.0 computing engine. This version of MaxCompute supports non-structured data processing, and programming APIs for parsing any data formats by associating external tables with external data sources. It also supports a wider range of language features to provide mass data computing support for AI and other hot fields.



In Indonesia with a population more than 250 million, government agencies, telecommunications companies, and banks are accelerating the application of big data development frameworks to manage and utilize their complicated data assets. Alibaba Cloud MaxCompute will certainly help Indonesia speed up its big data construction and make full use of deposited data, maximizing data value for the nation.
