The company is also reportedly opening another four centers across the globe as part of the expansion.<\/p>\n<p>The other data center locations will pop up in Frankfurt, Mumbai, Seoul and Moscow, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cio.com\/article\/3192525\/data-center\/tencent-adding-five-data-centers-to-target-cloud-users-outside-china.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according to CIO.com<\/a>. They hope to gain Chinese clients who want to expand overseas or international organizations that want to grow in China or other parts of the globe.<\/p>\n<p>The expansion is aimed at creating more demand for Tencent&#8217;s cloud services from online games to finance. The company already has more than 12 data centers in China, plus facilities in Hong Kong, Singapore and Toronto.<\/p>\n<p>The organization owns China&#8217;s largest social netwrk WeChat and its cloud services revenue reportedly more than tripled year-on-year in 2016 due to an uptick in enterprise accounts and usage of existing accounts.<\/p>\n<p>The company first served game developers with its cloud services, but since then has made a name for itself in alternate markets like video broadcasting, internet finance, enterprise and more. The provider claims to have a unique advantage in its foundation of technologies such as security, big data, payment, artificial intelligence and more.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Utilizing these technologies, Tercent cloud provides tailored solutions for various customers and industries,&#8221; Tencent President Martin Lau said in an earnings call last month.<\/p>\n<p>Tencent&#8217;s main competition, <a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/cloud-platforms\/alibaba-cloud-expands-global-offering-with-four-new-data-centers-middle-east-europe-australia-and-japan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alibaba Cloud, kicked off a global expansion in 2016<\/a>, which may have been the fuel for the move. They&#8217;ve also made some interested investments lately, including acquiring a 5 percent stake in car creator Tesla. The company also invested in Supercell, a Finnish mobile game developer.<\/p>\n<p><em>Connect with us on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Solution_Review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/solutionsreview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/2714548?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LinkedIn\u00a0for all the latest news on the Cloud space.<\/a>\u00a0And if you&#8217;re looking for a new Cloud provider, check out our Cloud Platforms Buyer&#8217;s Guide.<\/em><\/p>\n<br \/>Widget not in any sidebars<br \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tencent Holdings opened a data center in California recently in order to grow its cloud business outside of China, where the business is headquartered.
