We manage Alibaba Cloud services for businesses using a wide range of technologies, in countries around the world, to achieve a broad set of objectives.

Managing the cost of Alibaba Cloud Platform

Alibaba Cloud Platform’s pricing is extremely flexible, allowing you to pay for the resources you use on either a pay-as-you-go or a prepayment model. Each service is also priced individually, allowing complete control over your bill. However, there is a point at which customisation becomes complexity, and as Alibaba Cloud partners, we have the skills and experience to manage and minimise your costs, while ensuring you achieve all your objectives.

Managing your Alibaba Cloud services

Alibaba Cloud provides a comprehensive suite of cloud-based services. In addition, there are a number of turnkey services which will instantly connect you better to the region you’re targeting:

  • Content Delivery network (CDN) – accelerating the response to user requests and increasing the response rate in China and beyond.
  • Cloud Enterprise Network (CEN) – facilitating communication and helping you get beyond the Great Firewall at speed.
  • Short Message Service (SMS) – messaging service that covers the globe –  including all top Asian networks.

As Alibaba Cloud partners, we’re perfectly placed to consult, design architect and manage a cutting edge cloud solution, incorporating any Alibaba Cloud service feature you require.

Growing with Alibaba Cloud

Recently reporting revenue of $3.68 billion, Alibaba is a rapidly growing and truly global cloud service provider. To access this  global reach and Alibaba’s broad product offering, you need a partner with an international outlook who’s always upskilling – that’s Just After Midnight.

Why we’re different

Just After Midnight were born in the cloud era. Always-up and 24/7 support are two values built into everything we do. When you face an issue, you’ll always find a certified engineer on the other end of the phone or Slack channel with an in-depth knowledge of your account, infrastructure and application.

Our team of experts are spread across three continents, so wherever and whenever the issue, we’ll be on protecting your revenue and reputation.

Alibaba partners

Our partner status means we have the certified resources to manage this powerful platform as you expand into new territory. For information on how we’ve already helped a great company connect with their users in Asia, read our Cult Wines case study.

Agile and forward-thinking

Most managed cloud providers are old-guard hosting companies who have been forced to move to the cloud to keep up.  These businesses are stuck in the past, with long lead times, faceless ticketing systems and no way of dealing with out-of-hours incidents except waking engineers in the middle of the night. Just After Midnight were built in the constantly shifting world of cloud, and we’re ready for anything.

An absolute commitment

We have an absolute commitment to protecting your revenue and reputation. Your issues are our priority.

  • Just After Midnight was born in the cloud era
  • Expert Cloud and DevOps specialists
  • Working around the clock across all time zones
  • Dedicated to protecting your revenue and reputation
