強強聯手! 萬達與IBM共推企業級雲服務!

IBM and a unit of China's Dalian Wanda Group, a property and entertainment conglomerate, agreed to team up to provide cloud services to Chinese companies, the U.S. technology provider said.

美國技術服務供應商國際商業機器公司（IBM）表示，他們已與中國房地產及娛樂業綜合集團萬達公司達成協議，聯合爲中國企業提供雲服務。

Through a newly formed venture, Wanda Cloud Company, they will offer select IBM cloud infrastructure and platform as a service (IaaS and PaaS) technologies in China, IBM said.

據IBM透露，兩家公司將成立合營企業萬達雲端服務公司，在中國提供IBM高品質的基礎設施服務、平臺服務等雲計算技術。

The venture between IBM and Wanda Internet Technology Group will be "responsible for distributing, building and operating the IBM cloud platform in China", an IBM spokeswoman said.

IBM公司一位女性發言人表示，該合營企業和萬達網絡科技集團將“負責IBM雲平臺在中國的分配、建設與運營工作”。

In November, Alibaba Holdings Ltd's cloud unit announced plans to open four new data facilities outside China in a bid to grab market share from leading players and Microsoft.

去年11月，阿里巴巴集團的雲服務部門宣佈了在中國境外新建四座數據設備的計劃，以期從行業領頭羊亞馬遜和微軟手中爭奪市場份額。

Research firm Canalys expects the global market for cloud computing, defined as the storage of data on remote networks rather than local servers, to reach 135 billion dollars by 2020.

雲計算是指儲存在遠程網絡而非本地服務器中的數據。據研究機構Canalys估計，截至2020年，全球雲計算市場的規模將達到1350億美元。
