Guian's cloud computing services revenue to top 70b yuan

In the wake of the construction of a national integrated computing network, the Guian New Area – located in Southwest China's Guizhou province – is moving to establish a cloud computing service by maximizing its cross-regional computing capabilities and coordinating computing capabilities, according to a news release held on March 4.

Guian is aiming to offer stable, safe and sustainable cloud computing services by constructing the essential infrastructure, boosting digital transformation in its industries and meeting the cloud computing needs of the government and non-internet companies.

It's expected that by 2025, Guian's cloud computing service's business revenue will top 70 billion yuan ($10.47 billion).

Plans are for Guian to optimize its connections with the national internet network, promote direct connections with China's seven other computing hubs, expand network bandwidth, reduce network delays and realize the efficient coordination of cloud computing and edge computing.

Guian is planning a data center cluster of more than 15,000 mu (1,000 hectares) to develop data centers for finance, government departments and commissions, central-government-owned companies and the internet.

Relying on their geological location and energy resource advantages, Guian and nearby Guiyang city – capital of Guizhou province – will support key data storage and computing as well as digital applications by constructing safe, high capability, high efficiency and environmentally friendly data centers.

Centered on the Guiyang big data sci-tech innovation city, Guiyang and Guian will plan and implement a number of digitalization pilot projects. These will be in the areas of online freight transportation, Huawei products, the digital government, digital finance, the industrial internet, smart tourism, smart medical treatments, Beidou Navigation Satellite System applications, data trading and data security.
