Development of the cloud data center by Huawei Technologies Co in Guian New Area, Southwest China's Guizhou province, is going smoothly, according to a construction update released on Jan 9.

Construction on the cloud data center began in August 2017. Once completed, the facility will include three main sections: the data center, the Huawei global IT maintenance engineering base and a training base for college students.

With a total construction area of 300,000 square meters, the cloud data center will store approximately 800,000 servers and provide cloud services for users in 170 countries after its completion in June.

The project is one of the major data centers in Guian and aims to become an industrial park that serves as a global management data storage center and a base to train talents.
