Recently, the "Action Plan for the High-quality Development of Computing Infrastructure" issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and relevant departments has attracted wide attention. The number of standard racks in China's data centers exceeds 7.6 million, and the total scale of computing power reaches 197 trillion exaflops. The computing power structure has been continuously optimized, and the scale of intelligent computing power has increased by 45% year-on-year.
With the vigorous development of the digital economy and the rapid development of computing infrastructure, Hotwon Group provides a stable and reliable foundation for the digital economy.
In an interview with reporters, Wang Haifeng, chief operating officer of Hotwon, said that following the long-termism, Hotwon has made reserves in technology, resources, partners, etc., practiced internal skills and strengthened the layout.
Hotwon has always adhered to the strategy of developing first-line business and eastern data and western computing simultaneously, on the one hand, it has increased the layout and construction of data centers in first-tier cities to provide high-quality IDC services for first-tier cities.
The layout of first-tier cities is one of Hotwon's strategic plans, and its data center layout is mainly based on the first-tier cities in the north, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and most of them are highly scarce first-tier city resources, such as Beijing No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 cloud computing bases, Guangzhou No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 cloud computing bases, Shanghai Jiading cloud computing clusters, etc., which can fully meet the deployment of large-scale users such as the Internet, government and enterprises, and finance.
Among them, Shanghai Jiading cloud computing cluster is one of the important strategic layouts of Hotwon in the Yangtze River Delta region, which is located in a green, energy-saving and high-availability cloud computing cluster that uses photovoltaic power generation, which will help the development of the digital economy in the Yangtze River Delta regionOn the other hand, we will increase the layout of data centers in the western region, build a total of five data centers in Zhongwei City and Chengdu City, greatly increase the proportion of green energy use, and continue to optimize the energy efficiency of data centers through technological innovation.
There is an imbalance between supply and demand in the data center industry, as well as challenges in capital market valuations, new technologies, and new businesses. Wang Haifeng said, "When a market enters a state of relative stability and maturity from a fast-growing prosperous market, a step-by-step approach is an inevitable trend, which is a gradual process." ”
Enabling a sustainable digital economy
As the underlying facility of the digital structure, the data center plays a crucial supporting role in the national "dual carbon" goal. High energy consumption is a typical characteristic of data centers, and green environmental protection has become the goal pursued by the industry.
Sustainable development puts forward higher requirements for corporate ESG, Hotwon has enhanced its sense of social responsibility, and strengthened corporate compliance governance, data governance and other work.
Wang Haifeng said that the development of any industry from 0 to 1 and from 1 to N is a process of amplitude and sustainable development. For the data center industry, the importance of sustainability cannot be overstated. Hotwon has introduced green energy into its data centers in Chengdu, Guangzhou, Ningxia and other places, and has carried out technical exploration in energy efficiency.
In Wang Haifeng's view, the design and construction of data centers should take into account the changes in technological evolution, as well as the risks and technical routes of design planning and long-term operation, and if you want to maintain competitiveness, you must have your own roadmap. Hotwon invests in large-scale data centers, focusing on the matching between business and infrastructure.
As an emerging field, AI has attracted much attention, and the demand for computing power is also increasing, so higher requirements are put forward for the construction of new infrastructure such as data centers.
Hotwon Guangzhou No. 2 Cloud Computing Base, positioned as an AI computing base for intelligent manufacturing, is the first large-scale commercial liquid-cooled data center in South China, supporting a power density of more than 8 19kW and a single-system PUE of 11. Provide a reliable digital infrastructure foundation for the high-quality development of intelligent manufacturing and AI supercomputing in South China.
"In order to seize the opportunity, Hotwon adheres to long-termism, focuses on building core competitiveness, introduces talents, upgrades and reserves technology, and cooperates with all industry partners to create more complete solutions and achieve business breakthroughs." ”
