Alibaba Cloud, recognized as the digital technology and intelligence backbone of Alibaba Group, has once again been designated a Leader in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Cloud Database Management Systems (DBMS), marking its fifth consecutive year in this position. 



Gartner evaluates cloud DBMS vendors on 15 key criteria, including product quality, customer experience, market insights, product strategy, and innovation, which impact their positioning in the Magic Quadrant. Gartner states, "Leaders might include different cloud ecosystems and their own cloud DBMS, or they may show strong interconnectivity with these environments. These vendors regularly exhibit high customer satisfaction and strong support.” 

“We are honored to be named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for cloud DBMS report for the fifth year in a row,” said Dr Feifei Li, President of Database Products Business at Alibaba Cloud. “In the era when effective data management becomes a crucial infrastructure for business operation in a range of industries as well as for generative AI development, we remain committed to delivering cutting-edge and high-performance solutions that empower businesses to harness the full potential of their data.”
