Guizhou transforms from a data storage base into a national intelligent computing powerhouse, boasting 85 Eflops of computing capacity and 25EB storage.

Computing power is becoming the main factor propelling industrial progress as the digital economy grows quickly. Guizhou province has made significant progress in China's "East-Data-West-Computing" strategic plan by utilizing its forward-looking layout plan and distinct resource advantages. Today, it is a cutting-edge hub and innovation highland of computer power supply, having transformed from a back base of data storage.

Since the start of this year, the need for intelligent computing has rapidly grown due to the rapid development of AI. Guizhou has taken the initiative to establish a computing power highland to rise to the top of the intelligent computing sector. It contains 85 Eflops of processing power, of which over 98% is attributed to intelligent computing, with a homemade rate of about 90%. One of the Chinese regions with the most potent homegrown intelligent computing capabilities is Guizhou.

This enormous intelligent computing capability is supported by a strong digital foundation. In Guizhou, there are currently 48 significant data centers under construction or already in use, including 28 large data centers with a total storage capacity of up to 25EB, or 5 billion HD movie files of 5GB each. This indicates that Guizhou can effectively handle the volume of important data resources, including texts, photos, and videos, needed for AI training. With an emphasis on intelligent computing, it is completely reorienting the big data sector to move from being a storage hub to a manner of combining computation and storage.
