Tencent Cloud Global Infrastructure

Tencent Cloud is one of China’s biggest public cloud service providers leveraging its global infrastructure to provide cloud computing services with core services that include compute, storage, CDN, database, and security, among others. Tencent Cloud provides many cloud services in China and expands it globally to Asia, America, and Europe. They are still growing and to do that; they need an infrastructure that can support all their needs.

The Importance of Global Infrastructure

With growing customer demand and increasing cloud computing spending all over the globe, a cloud provider like Tencent Cloud needs new internet data centers (IDC) in new regions to expand its services and better serve its clients. The new IDCs need to be tier-3 design facilities and located in prime network hub locations, providing highly-reliable and high-quality BGP integrated with major local and international network operators. As a strong testimony to Tencent Cloud’s top-notch security standard and competitive services in the global cloud computing industry, Tencent Cloud was named Frost & Sullivan’s 2020 Best Practice Competitive Strategy Leadership Award in Global Cloud Industry. It has also earned international certifications, including but not limited to ISO22301, ISO27001, ISO20000, ISO9001, Trusted Cloud Services, CSA STAR, and the Multi-Tier Cloud Security Standard (MTCS SS).

Tencent Cloud Regions and Availability Zones

A region is the physical location of an IDC. In Tencent Cloud, regions are fully isolated from each other, ensuring cross-region stability and fault tolerance. That’s why it’s recommended to choose the region closest to your end-users location to minimize access latency and improve access speed. An availability zone (AZ) is a physical IDC of Tencent Cloud with an independent power supply and network in the same region. It can ensure business stability, as failures (except for major disasters or power failures) in one AZ are isolated without affecting other AZs in the same region.

Tencent Cloud International operates 70 availability zones spread across 26 regions globally. Tencent will gradually increase the number of regions for greater node coverage. They provide more than 70 product capabilities including computing, database, and networking, satisfying all the client’s business needs.

Sustainability in Tencent Cloud

Tencent Cloud selects sites rich in hydro, wind, biogas, waste-to-energy recovery, and other clean energy resources and maximizes the utilization of green energy. To achieve that, they build green data centers as part of their commitment to corporate responsibility in protecting the environment. Tencent Cloud jointly researches and develops green-credentialed equipment with supply chains, forming an ecosystem in which servers can deliver enhanced computing capabilities while using less power and energy:

  • Best practices and technologies in building green data centers in the industry
  • Adoption of a large-scale centralized data center campus design (with 160 MW per campus) instead of the traditional distributed style. This approach maximizes building and energy efficiency and minimizes PUE.
  • The third and fourth-generation data centers of Tencent, Tencent modular data centers (TMDCs), and Tencent blocks (T-blocks) respectively, form the overwhelming majority of the data centers deployed.
  • Development of AI and machine learning technologies for capacity control, PUE optimization, and proactive health management. These technologies can also automatically adjust the data center cooling systems to adapt to the environment and climate changes, to maintain high efficiency of energy utilization.
