A Cloud Powerhousefor Business
Backed by over a decade of experience and its China Connect strategy, Tencent Cloud is empowering companies to scale cloud-based digital solutions in an age of constant disruption.
Remote working became 2020’s largest professional experiment. As global companies shift towards a hybrid workforce, business activities are increasingly being conducted over the cloud. This new normal has accelerated cloud-driven digital transformation, and cloud technologies are being incorporated into enterprise IT departments across the globe.
With the fastest growing cloud presence globally, Tencent Cloud continues to build a solid foundation for organizations to transform digitally through its extensive networks and expertise in various industries. Tencent Cloud is rapidly becoming the go-to cloud provider of choice for businesses in need of digital transformation, especially those with plans to enter the China market and succeed in the world’s second largest economy.
China Connect Strategy: More Than a Cloud Provider
While China’s market size and growing wealth present extraordinary opportunities for firms of all sizes, doing business in China can be challenging without sufficient localized market knowledge. With over 20 years of experience in the market and a deep understanding of local consumer needs, Tencent Cloud’s one stop solution aims to fulfill the needs of organizations entering the Chinese market and engaging with its consumers, and it’s quickly becoming one of the key cloud service providers for existing and prospective businesses in the country. Under the company’s China Connect strategy, this framework provides everything enterprises and businesses require to expand their footprint in China.
Tencent Cloud is more than just an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), or Software as a Service (SaaS) cloud service provider. Tencent Cloud is also well positioned to guide organizations through every stage of their journey into China. From business registration and connecting businesses to appropriate resources to address technical requirements mandated by local regulations, to business setup and developing a robust go-to-market strategy, Tencent Cloud aims to provide support every step of the way.
Moreover, the strong C2B (consumer-to-business) capability of Tencent Cloud makes it a choice partner for businesses to connect with China and land their businesses in the country. As of June 2021, the combined monthly active users of Tencent’s WeChat and Weixin has surpassed 1.2 billion. WeCom, the enterprise version of Weixin, now serves more than 5.5 million companies and 130 million monthly active users. In addition to over a decade of experience in the cloud-tech arena, Tencent’s ecosystem of cloud solutions, Weixin’s Mini Programs and digital payments, and WeCom make Tencent Cloud’s unique C2B model an ideal solution for optimized entry into one of the world’s most desirable markets.
Go Global
Cloud providers need more Internet Data Centers (IDC) — physical facilities that house apps and data — across specific localities to provide fast and secure services for clients within targeted regions.
Tencent Cloud services currently span 27 regions with more than 300 industry-leading cloud solutions and products. The company has the fastest-growing IDC presence globally, with plans to further expand its cloud services across more regions, including the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), and Southeast Asia.
We will strengthen the team in the area where the data center is located to provide customers with more personalized services.

“For example, we are providing services to internet customers in Indonesia. After the service is launched in Bahrain at the end of this year, we will also have a corresponding team in the local area to serve customers in MENA.” says Poshu Yeung, Senior Vice President, Tencent Cloud International.
Power to Scale
Businesses today are constantly challenged with the need to scale. Their bandwidth needs fluctuate drastically based on the amount of data shared, and to eliminate bandwidth constraints, businesses require a suite of cloud services to maximize scalability.
Tencent Cloud’s on-demand delivery of user-friendly auto-scaling and hybrid cloud IT services aims to protect enterprises from missing opportunities. With a cloud storage scale exceeding 10 Exabytes (10 billion gigabytes) and a vast global network of IDCs, Tencent Cloud empowers enterprises to scale by offering a secure and expansive “hard drive” where they can store and access data almost instantly anytime, anywhere.
Tencent Cloud’s security standard makes it one of the safest cloud service providers in the world. With over 70 international and regional certifications, Tencent is committed to protecting organizations against disruptive incidents, and assuring business continuity and disaster preparedness.
Smart Cities and Smart Solutions for All
Tencent Cloud currently serves numerous organizational clients across all business sectors. Powered by technologies including 5G, big data, and AI, Tencent Cloud helps to create smart cities, improving efficiency and sustainability in the public service sector. The company also helps top-tier global financial institutions improve data efficiency.
Tencent Cloud is also a leader in gaming solutions and serves clients worldwide, including Perfect World Entertainment and Japan’s 5XGames. Furthermore, the firm’s video cloud solutions suite has assisted numerous organizations in engaging target audiences at events, including the World Intelligence Congress, various China import and export fairs, and more.
The company is also committed to delivering products and services tailored for the specific needs and requirements of its customers. Instead of a one-size-fits-all solution, the bespoke approach means that Tencent Cloud offers customers the option for segregated and localized data storage.
The Future of the Cloud
According to data from Canalys, China’s cloud infrastructure market grew 54% to US$6.6 billion on a year-on-year basis in the second quarter of 2021, and Tencent Cloud grew 92% in the same period.
We see strong growth and potential in financial services, e-commerce, pan-entertainment, audio and video businesses, and gaming. We expect to contribute more to the growth of these particular industry segments.
