The Wuyuan Cloud Computing Data Center Project has been launched, marking China’s first county-level cloud computing data center landing in Wuyuan, Jiangxi Province.
With a total investment of 500m CNY, the data center will be constructed by Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT), a branch of the Chinese Academy of Science (CAS) in South China.
It is planned to break ground this January and be completed in June next year. The data center will have a computing speed of 300 trillion times/second, with its storage capacity reaching PB level upon completion.
It is said that it will become the largest headquarter data center and supercomputer data center of the Chinese Academy of Science in East China, providing supercomputing and storage services for many industries including banking and education and provincial governments of Jiangxi, Hubei and Anhui.
Beijing’s Super Cloud Computing Center infrastructure built
The Beijing Super Cloud Computing Data Center, a cooperative project between the Beijing Municipal Government and the Chinese Academy of Science, has completed its infrastructure construction and will be put into commercial use this June.
Its initial computing speed will be 100 trillion times/second and will increase to 500~1000 trillion times/second by the end of this year, according to the Chinese Academy of Science.
Phase 1 of the Beijing Super Cloud Computing Data Center will cover an area of 18,000 sq m, with the whitespace being 11,000 sq m. In Phase 2 another 50,000 sq m will be added with 30,000 sq m new whitespace, according to data center operator Beijing Beilong Super Cloud Computing Co.
It is said that the data center’s targeted industries will move from education and research to high end manufacturing, new energy and biological medicine as its computing capacity improves.
China Mobile puts Xingye Cloud into use
China Mobile’s Xingye Cloud, a transaction platform between corporate customers and information service providers, was put into use in the Hubei Province.
It is the first provincial-level enterprise cloud platform in China.
The information service providers that have stationed in the Xingye Cloud platform include Huawei and UFIDA Software. They can provide a wide range of information products and applications such as cloud infrastructure, communication service, enterprise office, production control and IDC products.
To ensure the smooth operation of Xingye Cloud, China Mobile has built core IDC data centers in Wuhan and Huangshi and reserved data center space in Wuhan and Xiangyang for building cloud computing resource pool.
Inspur builds first public security cloud computing data center
The Jinan Public Security Bureau and Inspur, one of China’s leading cloud computing solution providers, signed a strategic cooperation agreement for the Jinan Public Security Bureau’s cloud computing data center, which is now in use.
It is the first public security cloud computing data center that will be operated on a large scale in China.
With Inspur’s six TS850 8-way servers as the core, the new cloud computing platform uses Inspur’s operating system for cloud computing data centers - OS V2.0 - for concentrated management. It integrates 104 old applications running on more than 500 servers in the data center and deploys more than 50 new applications.
By migrating 3bn pieces of data and about 200 applications of old servers to the new cloud computing platform, Jinan Public Security Bureau can save about 70% space, 50% management cost and 700,000 CNY in terms of IT system power consumption, according to sources of Jinan Public Security Bureau.
It is said that the two parties will also have comprehensive cooperation in “big data applications”.
They will construct Big Data Platform based on the new architecture and provide in-depth data analysis and mining service to all departments for enhancing public security service.
