Eastern Data and Western Computing: Building New
WANs act as channels connecting data in eastern China with computing power in western China, bearing hundreds of services for massive enterprises. Each service has unique requirements
China's ambitious “ Eastern Data, Western Computing" strategy reshapes its digital infrastructure landscape. It addresses the growing demand for computing power in economically thriving eastern regions while leveraging the abundant renewable energy resources in western regions.
To address these challenges, the “Eastern Data and Western Computing” initiative was launched in 2022 as a national project. This initiative aims to leverage the advantages of land, energy, and lower mean annual air temperature in the western regions to build a robust computing infrastructure .
Under the East Data West Computing initiative, larger data centers will be strategically located in western regions with abundant renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and hydropower, further benefiting these already well-developed renewable energy industries.
BEIJING, Dec. 26 -- China has released an implementation plan on further carrying out the "east data, west computing" project and speeding up the construction of a national computing power network, according to the national data bureau.
