Recently, the national development and Reform Commission, the central network and information office, the Ministry of industry and information technology and the National Energy Administration jointly issued a notice, agreeing to start the construction of National Computing hub nodes in 8 places, including Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, the Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao, Dawan District, Chengdu and Chongqing, Inner Mongolia, Guizhou, Gansu and Ningxia, and planned 10 national data center clusters. So far, the overall layout design of the national integrated big data center system has been completed, and the “counting from the east to the west” project has been officially launched.
The national development and Reform Commission said that most of China’s data centers are located in the eastern region. Due to the increasing shortage of land, energy and other resources, it is difficult to sustain the large-scale development of data centers in the eastern region. Western China is rich in resources, especially renewable energy, and has the potential to develop data centers and undertake the computing power needs of the East. Therefore, we should give full play to the advantages of China’s system and mechanism, integrate the layout from a national perspective, optimize the allocation of resources and improve the efficiency of resource use.
The national development and Reform Commission pointed out that there are three general ideas for the “counting from the east to the west” project: first, promote the appropriate agglomeration and intensive development of national data centers. 8 large-scale data centers will be formed through the layout of hubs and computing centers across the country. Second, promote the echelon layout and overall development of the data center from east to west. Third, realize the gradual and rapid iteration of “counting from the east to the west”. In order to resolutely avoid the blind development of data centers, at the current initial stage, 10 data center clusters are planned and established in 8 computing hubs, the physical boundary is delimited, and the development goals of green energy conservation and shelf availability are defined.
Many enterprises, including Huawei and Tencent, have layout in data centers. Surging journalists combed the existing data centers and computing power of many enterprises.
