The cloud
computing center of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region
officially started operations on Tuesday, a key step for the region in building
a regional information hub for Central and Western Asia.
The center,
built by Dawning Information Industry, a national high-tech enterprise,
currently provides cloud computing services for electronic government
platforms, urban management, language and culture, and new energy development.
Xinjiang
named the cloud computing industry as a strategic and new industry in 2011. The
region has invested nearly 30 billion yuan (US$4.9 billion) in the industry
with a number of projects launched.
"The
Xinjiang cloud computing center has not only completed construction in
hardware, but also made breakthroughs in practical use," said Su Guoping,
an official with the Xinjiang Economic and Informatization Commission.
In the next
ten years, Xinjiang aims to realize an annual output value of 32 billion yuan
(US$5.3 billion) in the industry and become the largest data center in western
China, said Su.
Cloud
computing generally refers to services, including software and storage,
accessed by users through the internet.
