China Unicom Gui'an Data Center extends computing services

China Unicom's Gui'an Data Center in Gui'an New Area is expanding its intelligent computing capabilities.

The center's upcoming smart computing building is projected to provide a computational capacity of 20.4 EFLOPS.

As a national East Data, West Computing program demonstration center and a key hub for China Unicom's intelligent computing network, the center currently operates 4,600 standard server cabinets.

Its robust computing power supports over 80 clients across various sectors – including government, internet giants, finance and large state-owned enterprises – with its service coverage extending nationwide.

In 2022, the center undertook two significant projects for the National Development and Reform Commission – focusing on autonomous and efficient computing power management – contributing to the nation's digital infrastructure and development.

Additionally, the center is widely said to benefit from China Unicom's national integrated computing power network, featuring ultra-high-speed transmission channels.

The backbone optical cable network stretches about 57,000 kilometers, enhancing Guizhou's internet bandwidth from 4800G to 6600G with latencies between 3-18 milliseconds.

The recently completed direct optical fiber link between Guiyang and Guangzhou is understood to further reduce the latency to approximately 6.2 milliseconds – strengthening connectivity between Guizhou and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao region.
