East Counts West Counts, or East Counts West Counts Project, refers to the new arithmetic network system that integrates data centers, cloud computing, and big data to guide eastern arithmetic demand to the west in an orderly manner, optimize the layout of the construction of data centers, and promote east-west synergy and linkage.

East-West Computing, or East-West Computing Project, refers to the construction of a new type of computing network system integrating data centers, cloud computing, and big data to guide the eastern computing demand to the west in an orderly manner, optimize the layout of data center construction, and promote synergistic linkage between the east and the west.

In February 2022, the construction of national arithmetic hub nodes was launched in eight places, including Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Chengdu-Chongqing, Inner Mongolia, Guizhou, Gansu and Ningxia, and 10 national data center clusters were planned. At this point, the national integrated big data center system to complete the overall layout and design, the East counts West computing project officially launched in full.

Simply put, it means that the arithmetic resources in the west can more fully support the computing of data in the east, and better empower digital development.2022 In September, the White Paper on the Development of New Arithmetic Infrastructure under the East Counts and West Counts was released.

Project significance

The Eastern Digital and Western Computing project puts forward high requirements for data center design, PUE, network operation and maintenance, etc. Companies that meet the relevant standards and have strong comprehensive strength can fully grasp the Eastern Digital and Western Computing market opportunities, and focus on the opportunities for the development of the entire industry chain upstream and downstream of the entire life cycle of the data center.

Such as data centers, networks, power supply and distribution equipment, refrigeration equipment, ICT equipment, data services and other markets. Each link is complementary, synergistic development, are to a certain extent favorable. The implementation of the "East Counts West Counts" project is of great significance in promoting the rational layout of data centers, optimizing supply and demand, green intensification and interconnectivity.
