Huawei Cloud debuted five data centers in China

According to Chinese Media, Huawei Cloud has deployed five data centers in China. Among them, two major Huawei Cloud data centers are situated in Gui’an and Ulannqab. While the three-core centers are established in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao regions of China.

New information reveals that Gui’an data center is planned to develop Huawei’s largest data center with 1 million servers capacity. It is a key bearing node for Huawei Cloud services including Huawei Cloud, Huawei Process IT, Consumer Cloud, and other services.

According to Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily, the first phase of Huawei Cloud is put into use in response to the national “East Number and West Count” project.

Furthermore, the Huawei Cloud data center has three types of layouts – cold, warm, and hot. Wherein, the code service is built in low-cost locations and warm service can be close to low-cost locations along the coast. While the hot service should be deployed in locations closer to customer needs.

Previously, Tencent mentioned that it has layouts in Guizhou, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, and Chengdu-Chongqing hubs. On the other hand, a report reveals that a major data center Ulanqab is located at the inner Mongolia hub node of “East and West”.

According to the plan, around 20,000 10-kilowatt cabinets will be constructed at the Ulanqab data center. After completion, it is expected to support 300,000 servers on the go.

The National Development and Reform Commission, the Central Cyberspace Administration of eight locations, including Inner Mongolia, Guizhou, Gansu, and Ningxia, started the construction of national computing power hub nodes. However, 10 national data center clusters are also planned.
