🌿 China's Data Centers Level Up with 80% Green Energy! 🚀
In a move that would make Mother Earth proud, some of the Chinese mainland's leading national data centers are now running on approximately 80% green electricity! 🌎💚 This eco-friendly news was shared by the National Data Administration during a press conference in Beijing on Monday.
Rewind to February 2022, when China kicked off a massive project to build an integrated national big data system. This ambitious plan involves setting up eight national computing hubs and ten national data center clusters. Think of it as building the ultimate tech playground! 🖥️🎢
Fast forward to March this year, and the numbers are in: those ten clusters have over 1.46 million standard racks in operation. And the coolest part? They're soaking up green energy like a sponge! 🧽✨
\"We will continue to promote the integrated development of computing power and electricity,\" said Du Wei, director of the Department of Digital Technology and Infrastructure Construction under the National Data Administration. \"By supporting data centers in central and western regions rich in green power resources, we'll boost the national integrated computing power network.\"
What's next on the agenda? The National Data Bureau plans to speed up building this nationwide computing network, harmonize different types of computing power, and funnel resources into the national hubs. They're also set to guide telecom operators to amp up efficiency, foster collaboration between industrial data and computing power, and enhance data processing and governance capabilities. Talk about leveling up! 🎮📶
This green tech leap not only marks a significant step for China but also sets an example for the rest of the world. With sustainability and innovation hand in hand, the future looks bright—and green! 🌟🌱
