This means that the overall layout design of the national comprehensive big data center system has been completed, and the "East Calculation and West Calculation" project has been officially launched.
On February 18, the A-share data center plate showed a daily limit, and the stocks such as Capital Online showed a daily limit of 20%. Securities Times E Company has learned from many channels that at present, domestic technology giants or listed companies such as Huawei, ZTE, Tencent, Hailanxin, Capital Online, Youkede, Capital Online, Nanling Technology, Zhongqingbao, Wu Tong Holdings, Changshan Beiming, Shengguang Group and Advanced Datacom have all participated in or laid out the related business of "calculating from the east to the west", and some enterprises have made it clear that they will seize this point in the future.
China's computing power is unbalanced between East and West.
In "East Number and West Calculation", "number" refers to data, and "calculation" refers to computing power, that is, the ability to process data. "Computing from east to west" refers to the construction of a new computing network system integrating data center, cloud computing and big data, orderly guiding the transfer of computing demand from east to west, optimizing the layout of data center construction, and promoting the coordinated linkage between east and west.
It is understood that, like water and electricity, the supply of computing power in China is unbalanced. At present, most data centers in China are located in the eastern region. Due to the increasing shortage of resources such as land and energy, the large-scale development of data centers in the eastern region is unsustainable. The western region of China is rich in resources, especially renewable energy, which has the potential to develop data centers and undertake the demand for computing power in the east.
"To this end, we must give full play to the advantages of China's institutional mechanisms, integrate the layout from a national perspective, optimize resource allocation, and improve resource utilization efficiency." The relevant person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission said that the implementation of the "East Computing and West Computing" project is of great significance for promoting the rational layout of data centers, optimizing supply and demand, green intensification and interconnection.
The above-mentioned people said that the implementation of the "East Computing and West Computing" project is conducive to improving the overall computing capacity of the country, expanding the scale of computing facilities, improving the efficiency of computing capacity, and realizing the large-scale and intensive development of national computing capacity through the construction of a national comprehensive data center. Second, it is conducive to promoting green development and increasing the layout of data centers in the west. It will greatly increase the proportion of green energy and consume the green energy in the nearby west. At the same time, it will continue to optimize the energy efficiency of data centers through technological innovation and replace large data centers with small and low-carbon development. Third, it is conducive to expanding effective investment. The data center has a long industrial chain, large investment scale and strong driving effect. Through the construction of computing hub and data center cluster, it will effectively promote upstream and downstream investment in the industry. Fourth, it is conducive to promoting coordinated regional development. The layout of computing facilities from east to west will drive the effective transfer of related industries, promote the data circulation and value transmission in the east and west, extend the development space in the east and promote the development of the west to form a new pattern.
The relevant person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission pointed out that a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is reshaping the global economic structure. As the core productivity of digital economy, computing power has become the new focus of global strategic competition.
