The "calculation of the East and the West" project has entered the stage of comprehensive construction: the construction of computing hub nodes in eight countries has all started.
CTOnews.com, March 17, according to CCTV news, up to now, the construction of eight national computing hub nodes of the "East and West" project has all started, and the "East and West" project has changed from the system layout to the comprehensive construction stage.
In Gansu and Qingyang, the construction of the national data center cluster will be started. After completion, it will focus on serving the computing needs of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area and other regions, and build a nationwide computing support base. Of the eight national computing hubs already under construction, nearly 70 new data center projects have been started this year, of which the construction scale of new data centers in the western region has exceeded 600,000 racks, double that of the same period last year. At this point, the national computing network architecture has been initially formed.
Since the launch of the "calculation of the East and the West" project, the new investment in the whole country has exceeded 400 billion yuan, and during the whole "14th five-year Plan" period, it will lead to a cumulative investment of more than 3 trillion yuan in all aspects.
CTOnews.com Note:
The East-West calculation project refers to the construction of a new computing network system integrating data center, cloud computing and big data to guide the computing needs of the east to the west in an orderly manner, optimize the layout of data center construction, and promote the coordination between the east and the west. In February 2022, the construction of national computing hub nodes was launched in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area, Chengdu and Chongqing, Inner Mongolia, Guizhou, Gansu and Ningxia, and 10 national data center clusters were planned. At this point, the overall layout design of the national integration big data center system has been completed, and the project of counting the east and the west has been officially launched in an all-round way. To put it simply, it is to let the computing resources of the west support the operation of the eastern data more fully, and better empower the digital development.
The "number" in "East and West calculation" refers to data, and "calculation" refers to computing power, that is, the ability to process data. "East and West arithmetic" is through the construction of data centers, cloud computing, big data integrated new computing network system, orderly guide the needs of computing power in the east to the west, optimize the layout of data center construction, and promote the coordination between the east and the west.
