What does "east counts west" mean? 1 reporter 17 It is learned that the National Development and Reform Commission, the Central Network Information Office, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the National Energy Administration jointly issued a document recently, agreeing to start the construction of computing hub nodes in countries such as Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Chengdu-Chongqing, Inner Mongolia, Guizhou, Gansu and Ningxia, and plan Zhangjiakou cluster and other 10 national data center clusters. At this point, the overall layout design of the national comprehensive big data center system has been completed, and the project of "calculating east and calculating west" has been officially launched.
According to the layout of the national comprehensive big data center system, eight national computing hub nodes will serve as the backbone connection points of China's computing network, develop data center clusters, and carry out collaborative construction among data centers, networks, cloud computing and big data. As the strategic fulcrum of the national "Dongdian West Computing" project, it will promote the orderly transfer of computing resources to the west, which will help solve the imbalance between supply and demand of computing power in the east and west.
"The' number' in' east number and west calculation' refers to data, and' calculation' refers to computing power, that is, the ability to process data." Sun Wei, deputy director of the High-tech Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that the western region of China is rich in resources, especially renewable energy, and has the potential to develop data centers to meet the computing power needs of the eastern region. "Like the South-to-North Water Transfer Project and the West-to-East Power Transmission Project, we should give full play to the advantages of China's system and mechanism, integrate the layout from a national perspective, optimize the allocation of resources, and improve the efficiency of resource utilization." He said.
Computing power, like water conservancy in the agricultural era and electricity in the industrial era, has become the core productivity of digital economy development and an important infrastructure for national economic development. The implementation of the "East Computing and West Computing" project to promote the rational layout, supply and demand balance, green intensive and interconnection of data centers will enhance the overall computing capacity of the country, promote green development, expand effective investment and promote regional coordinated development.
It is understood that the national level will promote the hub nodes to establish and improve the work coordination and promotion mechanism as soon as possible, strengthen the green development requirements of data centers, and promote the transfer of more data centers to the western region where renewable energy is more abundant. At the same time, strengthen policy support in network, electricity and energy consumption, and lay out new Internet exchange centers, Internet of Things backbone direct connection points and other network facilities around the hub nodes, so as to promote the hub nodes to formulate practical and effective construction schemes and supporting measures.
What does "east counts west" mean? 2 Reporter 17 It was learned from the National Development and Reform Commission that recently, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Central Network Information Office, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the National Energy Administration jointly issued a notice, agreeing to start the construction of national computing hub nodes in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Chengdu-Chongqing, Inner Mongolia, Guizhou, Gansu and Ningxia, and plan 10 national data center clusters. At this point, the overall layout design of the national comprehensive big data center system has been completed, and the project of "calculating east and calculating west" has been officially launched.
The "number" in "east number and west calculation" refers to data, and "calculation" refers to computing ability, that is, the ability to process data. "East-West Computing" is a new computing network system integrating data center, cloud computing and big data, which guides the demand for computing power in the eastern region to shift to the west in an orderly manner, optimizes the layout of data center construction, and promotes the coordinated linkage between the east and the west.

According to the responsible comrades of the High-tech Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, at present, most data centers in China are located in the eastern region. Due to the increasing shortage of land, energy and other resources, it is difficult for the eastern region to continuously develop data centers on a large scale. 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. Therefore, we should give full play to the advantages of China's system and mechanism, integrate the layout from a national perspective, optimize the allocation of resources, and improve the efficiency of resource use.
The reporter learned that the "East Computing and West Computing" project has laid out eight computing hubs throughout the country, guiding large and super-large data centers to gather in hubs to form data center clusters. At the same time, in order to resolutely avoid the blind development of data centers, at the current initial stage, 10 data center clusters have been set up in eight computing hubs, and physical boundaries have been delineated, and development goals such as green energy saving and shelf occupancy rate have been defined. Through multi-index constraints, we will promote high-standard and strict clusters and minimize the start. The western data center handles services that do not require high network requirements, such as background processing, offline analysis, storage and backup, while the eastern hub handles services that require high network requirements, such as industrial Internet, financial securities, disaster warning, telemedicine, video calling and artificial intelligence reasoning.
The implementation of the "East Computing and West Computing" project will promote the rational layout, supply and demand optimization, green intensification and interconnection of data centers, help improve the overall computing capacity of the country, promote green development, and absorb green energy in the west nearby. At the same time, the construction of computing hubs and data center clusters will effectively promote upstream and downstream investment in the industry. In addition, the responsible comrades of the High-tech Department of the National Development and Reform Commission introduced that "from east to west" will drive the effective transfer of related industries, extend the development space in the east, and promote the development of the west to form a new pattern.
It is understood that in the next step, the state will further strengthen overall planning, give play to the superposition effect of policies, make overall plans to promote the optimal layout of computing power and the reform and innovation of institutional mechanisms, and accelerate the promotion of the influence and agglomeration of the eight computing power hubs. Accelerate the opening of direct data channels between the east and the west, and create a number of demonstration lines of "east calculation and west calculation"; Strengthen the integrated design of data center and power grid, and promote renewable energy power generation enterprises to supply power to data center; Encourage technology and model innovations such as energy saving and carbon reduction in data centers, renewable energy power supply, heterogeneous computing integration, cloud network integration, cloudy scheduling, and safe data circulation; Support the western computing hub to develop labor-intensive industries such as data processing, data cleaning and data content services around the data center.
What do you mean by counting east and west? In the Year of the Tiger, investment in new infrastructure should be strong.

The so-called "east number and west calculation", "number" refers to data and "calculation" refers to calculation power. In layman's terms, "it is to transmit data from the east to the west for calculation and processing, just like the South-to-North Water Transfer Project and the West-to-East Power Transmission Project." Calculating data from the east to the west is another important strategic project of the country. " Li Jie, deputy director of the Institute of Cloud Computing and Big Data of China Information and Communication Research Institute, told the shanghai securities news.

Sun, a senior engineer of China Mobile Communications Group Design Institute Co., Ltd., told the reporter that the "Dongdian West Computing" project, based on the high-speed intelligent communication network, realized the balanced distribution of computing power between the east and the west of China and optimized the cost of computing power, which was the capacity foundation for the rapid development of China's digital economy during the Tenth Five-Year Plan period.
Invest hundreds of billions of yuan every year to incite 8 times investment in related industries.
What upstream and downstream industrial chains will be developed and how much investment will be driven by the construction of "East Calculation and West Calculation"?
According to estimates by authoritative organizations and experts, the annual investment of the project of "calculating the east and calculating the west" will reach hundreds of billions of yuan, and the pulling effect on related industries will reach 1:8. This also means that the project will greatly exceed the "West-to-East Gas Transmission" and "South-to-North Water Transfer" projects. This is precisely the power of China's "digital economy".
"The data center industry chain includes not only traditional civil engineering, but also IT equipment manufacturing, information and communication, basic software and green energy supply. The industrial chain is long, with wide coverage and great driving effect. Optimizing the overall layout and promoting the precise development of data centers will effectively drive upstream and downstream investment in the industry. " The relevant person in charge of the new high department of the National Development and Reform Commission said.
According to the quantitative data of relevant research reports, the digital economy and GDP will increase by 3.3‰ and 1 .8 ‰ respectively for every increase in the computing power index.
With the rapid development of new technologies such as 5G and artificial intelligence, China's demand for storage, calculation and application of data resources is growing day by day, which has led to the rapid growth of data center scale: in the past five years, the average annual growth rate of data center racks in China has exceeded 30%.
"The western region has natural resources and cost advantages. The construction of data centers can not only bring local investment, help local industrial restructuring and economic transformation, but also incite the drainage and development of upper-level applications through the construction of computing infrastructure. " Li Jie said.
