On October 29, Alibaba Cloud announced at the Apsara Conference International the release of the new Apsara Stack International v3.18 for the international market, offering trusted AI cloud solutions to support governments, telecom operators, and large enterprises worldwide in upgrading their AI infrastructure. Currently, Apsara Stack International has been deployed locally in more than 20 countries and regions around the world.
As AI accelerates its application in key sectors such as government affairs, finance, and healthcare, overseas institutions and large enterprises are seeing growing demand for AI while also raising higher requirements for the autonomous and controllable nature of data, models, and cloud platforms. The new Apsara Stack International provides more than 80 full-stack cloud services for this purpose, continuing advantages such as 100% local deployment and fully disconnected independent operation, and further integrating proprietary models, private knowledge bases, and Agent capabilities. Through joint optimization of chips, cloud platforms, and models, it improves AI computing efficiency, and is accompanied by AI-native operations management and 7×24 global technical support, lowering the threshold for autonomous operations.
As a Worldwide Olympic Partner, Alibaba Cloud will provide local proprietary cloud services for the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games, which open on October 31, supporting event ticketing and related digital operations systems through a dual-availability-zone high-availability architecture. This is also the first time Apsara Stack International proprietary cloud has been applied to an Olympic event.
In Sarawak, Malaysia, local digital infrastructure service provider SAINS has built a government proprietary cloud based on Apsara Stack International, deploying a dual-availability-zone disaster recovery architecture in two data centers in Kuching to support the upgrade of more than 300 traditional applications to a cloud-native architecture, enhancing the security and reliability of local government digital services. This is a case of Alibaba Cloud's actual implementation in the government sovereign cloud field.
In the enterprise AI field, international companies such as AstraZeneca and Boston Scientific have developed dedicated AI applications based on Qwen and Alibaba Cloud's enterprise-grade MaaS platform OpenTrek. Among them, AstraZeneca applies AI to scenarios such as pharmacovigilance and intelligent business analysis, increasing report-writing efficiency by 300%; Boston Scientific has integrated approximately 3TB of professional documents to build a medical device knowledge base, improving knowledge acquisition efficiency by 80%. Both companies have achieved 98% accuracy in intelligent business analysis queries and knowledge base question-answering scenarios.
Today, Alibaba Cloud Apsara Stack International has cumulatively supported more than 1,300 large government and enterprise customers and cumulatively manages 36,000P+ of card computing power. An IDC report shows that Alibaba Cloud ranks first in China's hybrid cloud market share and was rated a "Leader" in the Asia-Pacific sovereign AI platform MarketScape assessment. Leveraging technology and operational capabilities validated through large-scale domestic applications, Alibaba Cloud is bringing mature proprietary cloud technology and operational capabilities to the international market, helping local partners independently build and operate cloud and AI platforms and expand local business.
