GUIYANG, China, April 6, 2023 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

A news report by Huanqiu.com:

"This year we are going to set up a more segmented data center inside the

enterprise and provide value-added data services,"said Shu Xiaozhong, head of

Guizhou Tiancheng Elite Technology Holdings Co., Ltd. in Longli County, Guizhou.

This company has been a major provider of software for both public blood banks

and digital outpatient services for vaccination in China. Though rooted in the

software service sector for over a decade, Tiancheng Elite could previously

only have been said to be a beneficiary of the development to big data in this

province. Now, the construction of data centers for enterprises has become a

new turning point for his company.

"Taking advantage of data sources, the company conducts data analysis and

mining to precisely guide relevant industries and create data revenue. This

year, it may amount to between 20 million and 50 million yuan," said Shu

Xiaozhong.

Guizhou, with its impressive landscape, is often shrouded in clouds and mist.

The "Guizhou Cloud" now has a new meaning: data centers are Guizhou's new

special and competitive industry, and the Guian New Area in Guiyang City has

become one of the leading data center clusters in the world. Relying on the

local favorable conditions of geology, climate and electricity, Guizhou

supports the establishment and operation of data centers for China's three

major telecom operators, as well as Huawei, Tencent, Apple, and others,

becoming one of the biggest centers of large and ultra-large data centers

globally.

"In terms of its development of computing power, Guian is naturally endowed,"

noted Ma Ningyu, the Mayor of Guiyang and Director-General of Guian's

Administration Committee. Guian enjoys abundant local sources of electricity

and stable geological conditions, furthermore, its cool climate and fresh air

help data centers reduce energy consumption.

While constantly consolidating the construction of computing power

infrastructure, China's three major telecom operators are also accelerating

their research on core computing technologies and actively promoting computing

and network convergence (CNC).

What can you do in 1 second? Within one second from when a consumer presses the

payment button on an e-commerce platform, 1.7 billion calculations have been

made. Chen Jinhui, Director of the Maintenance Management Department at China

Telecom Cloud Computing Information Park in Guizhou, explained that the

construction and operation of the park begun in 2013, and has now become the

largest data center for Chinese Telecom's southern operations. It was the first

data center launched in Guian, and its export bandwidth today has already

reached 10Tb.

As a fundamental and strategic resource, data serves as the main engine driving

the digital economy. In 2023, Guizhou will make efforts both internally and

externally towards developing a new technological infrastructure for digital

economic growth. Internally incentive policies for building the nationally

integrated computing network (Guizhou hub node) will be formulated. The

construction of data centers for China Construction Bank, Bank of

Communications, Industrial Bank, Midea Cloud, Netease, and others will

accelerate, and the data centers launched for China's three telecom operators,

Apple, Huawei and Tencent will be further expanded. Externally, Guizhou will

build optical cables directly linking Guiyang and Guangzhou, and optimize its

routing and bandwidth towards Shanghai and Beijing.

In the era of the digital economy, data and computing power have become key

factors for productivity and play a key role in restructuring factor resources,

reshaping the structure of the economy and reforming the competitive landscape.

Their role as both "foundations" and "enablers" have also become more

pronounced. According to Ma Ningyu, China's implementation of "channeling

computer resources from the east to the west" will give full play to its

institutional strengths and mechanisms, optimize its resource allocation,

propel the coordinated development of both eastern and western regions, and

ultimately bring about greater common prosperity.
