The past decade has witnessed the rapid development of cloud computing. According to the report of research and markets, a market analysis report provider, the global cloud computing market is expected to grow from $371.4 billion in 2020 to $832.1 billion in 2025. A Gartner study also shows that the global public cloud end-user expenditure will be about $257.5 billion in 2020, and this figure will increase by 18.4% in 2021, which is expected to reach $304.9 billion
In recent years, Alibaba, Huawei, Tencent and other service providers have extended their tentacles overseas. However, for Chinese players, it is not easy to develop overseas. Overseas giants such as Amazon, Microsoft and Google still dominate the global cloud market. According to statista 2020 Q4, Amazon cloud (AWS) still leads with a market share of more than 30%, followed by Microsoft azure with a market share of 20% and Google cloud with a market share of 7%. Ali ranks fourth with a market share of 6%, while Tencent cloud has a market share of about 2%
As the only "seed player" in the top five, Alibaba has opened 69 availability zones in 23 regions around the world, providing services to billions of users around the world. Although it is less competitive in the global market, it ranks first in the market ranking of the Asia Pacific region. In July last year, Alibaba cloud said it would increase its presence in Southeast Asia and further consolidate its position in the Asia Pacific region
Whether it is Alibaba, Tencent or other Chinese service providers, the Asia Pacific market at the door seems to be a "place to compete", while Southeast Asia, with a population of about 670 million, is the focus

Tencent began to carry out cloud business in China about a decade ago. With the increasingly fierce domestic competitive environment, Tencent began to force the overseas market. "The company currently has about 20 data centers in more than 10 regions outside China," said poshu Yeung, senior vice president of Tencent cloud international
About why Tencent cloud chose the Indonesian market this time, we may find the context from the Indonesian market environment. The Indonesian market, with a population of nearly 275 million, has a younger population structure, a huge Internet demographic dividend and a rapidly developing mobile Internet. According to the statistics of datareportal in January 2021, the Internet penetration rate of Indonesia has reached 73.7%. In addition, Indonesia is one of the fastest growing public cloud markets in the Asia Pacific region. According to the analysis of the report, from 2019 to 2025, Indonesia's data center market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11%. For cloud computing service providers, this market has great development potential
Referring to Tencent's layout in Indonesia, the data center will further support Tencent's business in Indonesia, including Joox, a music streaming media platform, and wetv, an "overseas version of Tencent video". It is reported that Tencent cloud has provided technical support for Joox's business in Indonesia. In addition, Tencent cloud also cooperated with BNC Bank of Indonesia to build its financial level distributed database tdsql in the new core system of BNC bank and officially put it into use, so as to promote the digital transformation of the latter
For Tencent cloud, there are still many markets in the world waiting for layout. Yang Baoshu said: "this year, we will be more active in building our cloud infrastructure around the world... In terms of the number of data centers, it may increase by another 30% to 50% in the future."
