Guiyang, Guian speed up work on computing power hub node

The city of Guiyang and Guian New Area – located in Southwest China's Guizhou province – will press ahead with the Eastern Data and Western Computing project, expand Guian's data center cluster and build a national computing power support center.

As China's first big data comprehensive pilot area, Guizhou was approved to construct a hub node of the national integrated computing power network in May 2021. Since then, it has actively launched support policies and attracted related projects.

In December 2021, Guizhou officially started the Eastern Data and Western Computing project.

It will give full play to Guizhou's data centers and computing resources to create a computing resource transfer passage from Guizhou to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the Yangtze River Delta area and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.

The project is expected to meet the computing needs of East China and transfer that region's big data-related industries to Guizhou, boosting the province's digital economy.

In the future, Guiyang and Guian will promote the construction of data centers and backup centers for the finance industry, national government, central-government-owned companies and leading internet companies.

What's more, it will install more than 5,000 5G base stations and expand bandwidth ranges for the broadband network and mobile network.
