Recently, experts and enterprise representatives from Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, China Telecom Corporation Limited(601728) , Ucloud Technology Co.Ltd(688158) and Shanghai Supercomputing Center spoke freely during the activity of “building a new economic map” in the digital age, which was jointly sponsored by Shanghai Smart City Development Research Institute and Information Research Institute of Shanghai Academy of social Sciences under the guidance of Shanghai digital office, They shared their understanding and practice of “counting from the east to the west”.
optimized configuration integrated computing power ” East West calculation” project deployment has profound meaning
“‘counting from the east to the West ‘is not simply to put the eastern data in the Western calculation, but to optimize the allocation and overall coordination of the computing power of the East and West. The state plans to build eight national computing hub nodes, so that the urban internal data center can form an integrated computing power pattern of its own computing power, edge computing power, remote computing power, integration, sharing and mutual supplement.”
As the initiator and host of the salon, Ding Botao, deputy director of the Information Research Institute of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, introduced the macro background, progress and trend of the “counting East and counting West” project, “As a national strategy, ‘counting from the east to the West’ is a major adjustment, optimization and allocation of the national digital infrastructure process based on the five development concepts of innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing and the overall sense of national security.”
Liu Jie, the Ucloud Technology Co.Ltd(688158) vice president of ucloud pointed out that since the cloud computing centers they deployed in Qingpu, Shanghai and Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia were put into operation in September last year, customers in the field of artificial intelligence and finance have taken the lead in responding to “computing from the east to the West”, moving some of the businesses originally deployed in the eastern server to the cloud computing center in deulanqab, and businesses with high response speed continue to stay in the East, forming a linkage between the East and the West, Meet the needs of enterprises to reduce costs and increase efficiency, and accelerate digital development.
In Liu Jie’s view, the project of “counting from the east to the west” is conducive to the large-scale and intensive development of computing power. At the same time, it is conducive to promoting green development, greatly increasing the proportion of green energy use, and optimizing the energy efficiency of the data center. In addition, the data center constructed by the project has a long industrial chain and large investment scale, which will effectively drive the upstream and downstream investment of the industry. Finally, the layout of computing facilities from east to west will promote the data circulation and value transmission between the East and West, and promote the coordinated development of the region.
With the advance of the project of “counting from the east to the west”, the circulation of data and computing resources in the East and West is becoming a reality. According to Xu Ying, Vice Minister of cloud computing and big data Department of Shanghai Supercomputing Center, Shanghai Supercomputing Center has reached cooperation with Zijin cloud data center of Gansu hub, one of the eight national computing hub node areas, and will further cooperate in customer drainage, technical support service cooperation, scientific research achievement transformation and so on.
improve computing power regional linkage ” ” calculate the East and west “to enable urban development
Song Jiaqi, senior technical expert of China Telecom Corporation Limited(601728) group and head of the new infrastructure research group of China Telecom Corporation Limited(601728) group, said that in the process of urban digital transformation in Shanghai, comprehensively improving the ecological carrying capacity of economic digital transformation needs the empowerment of “four special projects”.
According to song Jiaqi, China Telecom Corporation Limited(601728) around the “East West computing” project and the layout of the integrated big data center, it has deployed the data center, DCI network, computing power and Tianyi cloud in an all-round way, and prospectively laid out the computing power network. Among them, in terms of data centers, the company has more than 700 data centers, of which nearly 80% are deployed in four key areas: Beijing Tianjin Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Dawan district and Chengdu Chongqing.
For Shanghai, which has initially built into the “five centers” of international economy, finance, trade, shipping and scientific and technological innovation, the promotion of “counting from the east to the west” will not only promote the high-quality development of regional economy, but also bring new opportunities and challenges to Shanghai’s urban digital transformation.
Ding Botao said that “counting from the east to the west” will further promote China’s digital development, meet the Beijing Vastdata Technology Co.Ltd(603138) processing needs of developed eastern coastal areas in the rapid digital transformation, and promote the coordinated development of the East and the West. Shanghai should grasp the opportunity of “counting East and calculating West” in the wave of digital transformation, and realize regional coordination and “East-West” linkage.
