On October 13, 2020 work of cloud "subsidiary" of Alibaba knew of the beginning in Russia. The company "Alibab Klaud (Ru)" was registered in November of the 2019th, and on September 24 the 2020th it obtained necessary licenses of Roskomnadzor, data of kartoteka.ru service demonstrate.
As told Kommersant the informed source in IT market, for work in the Russian cloud Alibaba Group market began to cooperate with the Moscow data center of IXcellerate and occupied more than a half of its capacities. All DPC contains about 1500 racks.

According to the CEO of ActiveCloud Russia company (enters into the Softline group) Dmitry Yashin, global cloud platforms considerably exceed Russian by the number of services and their functionality. Alibaba Cloud has chances to occupy 10−15% of the domestic market at bright marketing, aggressive price policy and consecutive dialog with large business, including state companies, the expert considers.
