what happened
Alibaba is widening its European cloud footprint with a new Netherlands region. According to GuruFocus, the company announced on October 29 that the site includes two data centres in Amsterdam and marks its fourth region in Europe.
Alibaba's worldwide network now spans 109 availability zones in 32 regions. Over the coming year it plans a first Finnish region and further build-out in Germany and France. These sites could help customers meet local data-residency requirements.
The same day, Alibaba shares fell 0.94% and traded at $100.01 by 11:29 a.m. ET.
why it matters
The new capacity matters for clients with data-residency rules, but investors are still waiting for proof of demand in workloads, new customers and revenue. With a market value near $248.80 billion and 23.55 times earnings, the market will look for a link between the new infrastructure and actual income.
