Tableau is focused on providing our customers with the autonomy and flexibility required for analytics at scale, regardless of the location of our customers and their data.

Tableau Server on Alibaba Cloud Deployment Guide

Our partnership with Alibaba Cloud allows our customers to deploy Tableau Server on Alibaba Cloud ECS to scale on their own terms in real time. This allows customers to stay focused on driving business development, rather than on having to maintain large, expensive IT infrastructure and adding even more resources as data grows. The Deployment guide can be found here.
