A view of Zhangbei data center of Alibaba is pictured in Zhangbei county, Zhangjiakou city, north China's Hebei province, 12 September 2016.China's e-commerce giant Alibaba is expanding its cloud facilities vigorously. After announcing a cloud data center in Silicon Valley in the US this March, it has launched a large cloud data center in North China. The Zhangbei cloud data center broke ground in the Miaotan Industrial Park in Zhangbei County, Hebei Province, in April 2015. It is expected to host 80 percent of Alibaba's cloud and big data in North China and to serve as the group's North China settlement center. Currently, cloud only accounts for one percent of Alibaba's total income, but the group has bet its future on cloud. The Zhangbei data center, which covers about 165 acres, will cost 18 billion yuan (US$2.9 billion), according to Haifeng Qu, research fellow in the technical support department of Alibaba.No Use China.
