"East Data and West Calculation" Accelerates the Promotion of Xinyi Network and Firms the Network Foundation

  

With the in-depth promotion of digital industrialization, the new generation of information technology such as 5G, cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence and other in-depth integration applications, the demand for computing power in various industries is increasingly urgent. As the core of the digital economy, computing power has penetrated all fields and levels of society. In recent years, China's "East Data and West Computing" project has been launched in an all-round way, with 8 national computing hub nodes and 10 data center clusters designated, and the overall layout of the national integrated data center ecosystem has been carried out to optimize computing resources as a whole, orderly guide the demand for computing power in the east to the west, enable data elements to flow across regions, organize a national computing network, and accelerate the process of digital transformation.

The development of new computing infrastructure under the "East Data West Computing" has accelerated, and a new computing network system integrating data center, cloud computing and big data has been built, which involves the support of multiple resources, including power, water, land, etc. At the same time, network connectivity and transmission are also indispensable.

New Requirements for Network from "East Data to West"

The network is the core base to support the construction of the data center. The "East Data and West Computing" project will further promote the strategic layout and connectivity of the data center, and also put forward new requirements for the network. Specifically, it is mainly reflected in three aspects:

First, high-quality network performance in national computing hub nodes. The national computing hub node needs massive network transmission to store and process data, and has extremely high requirements on network latency, stability and security, especially the eastern hub node, which deals with key applications such as industrial Internet, financial securities, disaster early warning, telemedicine, video call, artificial intelligence, and needs to optimize the communication network structure, Improve the quality of network transmission.

Second, the eastern and western regions strengthened the integration of computing and network, and efficiently connected to achieve interconnection and interworking. The main purpose of the launch of the "East Data and West Computing" project is to coordinate the western region's demand for computing power from the eastern region, promote the efficient complementarity and synergy of computing power between the eastern and western regions, and enhance the connectivity between national computing power hubs. However, there was a bottleneck of small network bandwidth and high trans provincial data transmission costs before, and the west could not effectively meet the needs of the east. Therefore, the construction of "East Data West Computing" needs to build a data center direct network around clusters, improve the network node level of the national data center cluster, increase network bandwidth, and improve transmission speed, so as to open up the high-speed data transmission network in the east and west.

Third, promote the integration of computing power, data and energy. "East data and west computing" is the national integrated layout of computing power. Under the two-level computing power architecture of clusters and urban areas, it is necessary to promote data centers in all industries to strengthen integrated connectivity scheduling, promote resource linkage between clouds, between clouds and data centers, and between clouds and networks, and build a computing service resource pool. At the same time, it can flexibly and intelligently match and call the optimal computing resources through the network to meet the demands of multi-party computing power in real time and improve service efficiency.

Network construction and development needs multi-party coordination under the "East Data West Calculation"

The "East Data and West Computing" provides an important background and foundation to promote the innovation of network technology, improve the degree of cloud network integration, change the network pattern, and form new network nodes. At the same time, the demand for the network of "eastern data and western computing" involves multiple entities, and the realization of network upgrading also needs the collaborative promotion of these entities.

First, it must be completed under the national and local overall planning. The "East Data and West Computing" is a national project, which needs to be integrated in network construction, including establishing a reasonable network settlement mechanism, improving transmission speed, reducing transmission costs, and steadily and orderly promoting the construction of new Internet switching centers and Internet backbone direct connection points around clusters. The country and various places have also carried out a positive layout and made policy guidance.

Secondly, telecom operators are required to carry out a series of planning and construction. The resource layout of telecom operators basically covers the strategic requirements of the East Data and West Computing, has the differentiation advantage of cross regional Internet access, can adjust the network structure, improve the network delay, reliability, etc., and is the main force to create a new direct connection channel. Moreover, telecom operators can build multi-level transmission networks, cooperate with the construction of national Internet backbone direct connection points, effectively improve the efficiency of long-distance data transmission, and accelerate the integration of cloud, network, and edge.

More importantly, data center service providers need to fully play a synergistic role with telecom operators. The industrial chain of "East Data and West Computing" takes the data center as the core. The upstream extends to computing related infrastructure through network construction, and the downstream connects terminal customers through cloud computing. The data center service provider is an important subject to accelerate the construction of the "East Data West Computing" project, and will play a huge role in computing power construction and network development. Hong Kong is a strategic connection hub in the Asia Pacific region, and Xinyi Network is the largest data center service provider in Hong Kong. Taking advantage of the interconnection of its MEGA Campus, it extends the efficient network connectivity of MEGA-i, the world's most intensive data center for telecommunications, to data centers in other parks through dedicated dark optical fiber networks and submarine optical cables, Including the newly completed data center MEGA Gateway, the new large-scale data center MEGA IDC, and high-end data center MEGA Plus and MEGA Two. Telecom operators, cloud service providers, Internet service providers and content delivery network service providers are interconnected in MEGA Campus, forming a data center ecosystem with about 15000 internal lines. In addition, the submarine optical cable network contacts located in the park can provide leading infrastructure and services, and efficiently and reliably connect to hundreds of service providers. Xinyi.com provides unparalleled network connectivity to meet the capacity, energy power and connectivity needs of the future national IT infrastructure, meet the needs of the layout of "data from the east to the west", and strengthen national and regional connectivity.
