China to build 8 national computing hubs with 10 data center clusters
By MYBRANDBOOK
China has approved a project to build 8 national integrated computing hubs with 10 data center clusters across the country to improve computing capacity and better empower the country's digital development.
As the backbone to China's computing network, the 8 hubs will develop data-center clusters, carry out collaborative construction between data centers, cloud computing and big data, and bridge the gap between eastern and western regions in computing resources.
The eight national computing hubs will be built in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the eastern Yangtze River Delta region, the southern Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the southwestern Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle, north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, southwest China's Guizhou Province, northwest China's Gansu Province and Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region.
The project is jointly approved by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), the Cyberspace Administration of China, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) and the National Energy Administration.
Sun Wei, an NDRC official, said, “The implementation of the project is conducive to promoting green development and utilizing green energy in the western regions, and continuously optimizing the energy efficiency of data centers.”
Along with big-data sector growth, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has unveiled a plan for the industry during the 14th Five-Year Plan period from 2021-2025.
