Balancing regional computing resources is at the heart of China's plan to build a national system of data centers.
By Li Jun, Chief Architect, Data Center Networks, Huawei
In May 2021, China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC), Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), and National Energy Administration (NEA) jointly issued the Implementation Plan for Computing Hubs of the National Integrated Big Data Center Collaborative Innovation System. The plan proposes a new computing network system that integrates data centers, cloud computing, and big data, as well as Eastern Data and Western Computing demonstration projects that will enable high-quality, green data centers.
Overall, the project will create an integrated national system of big data centers and strengthen the planning and intelligent scheduling of computing power in line with China’s National Economic and Social Development and Vision 2035.
