IDC: China's backbone to expand the east to the impact of cloud computing far-reaching

October 24, the Ministry of Industry and Information technology in China 2013 years ago in the three quarter industrial Communications Industry Development Conference announced that will be in the original Beijing, Shanghai, Sui backbone network nodes on the basis of increasing the backbone of the direct connection point. At present, the Ministry has made clear the addition of seven national backbone network directly linked to the city-Chengdu, Wuhan, Xi ' An, Shenyang, Nanjing, Chongqing and Zhengzhou. The industry generally believes that the national backbone of the construction of direct-linked points will be conducive to improve the communication quality of our backbone network, optimize the entire backbone of the layout of the network.

China's IT industry, driven by the rapid development of the Internet, a large number of IT business relies on China Telecom and Unicom's backbone network, both carrying more than 80% of China's data traffic, covering more than 90% users, while the current backbone of the direct link only Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou 3 nodes, international exports, Operators interconnection, inter-provincial traffic long-distance around the problem has always plagued China's enterprises and users, seriously affecting the development of IT industry and user experience, bandwidth issues have become the impact of data centers and cloud computing and other http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/ 32719.html "The unfavorable factor of the reasonable layout of the new industries >.

IDC's research on China's data center market shows that the total size of China's data center market in 2012 amounted to $11.93 billion trillion, with more than 4,000 medium and large data centers covering more than 500 square meters, accounting for about 8% of the total and about 50% of the overall investment; nearly 70% Middle and large data centers are distributed in the eastern coastal developed areas with Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou as the core, and the distribution and investment of the data center show obvious aggregation effect. IDC's market research data on Chinese servers and enterprise-class external disk storage also shows that more than 55% of China's enterprise-class hardware purchases in 2012 years are from Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong.

However, from the industrial layout and data Center location principles, focus on the core city is not necessarily the most ideal choice. January 11, 2013, the Ministry of Industry and other countries of the five ministries issued the "Guidance on the construction of data centers," to encourage enterprises in high latitudes and energy-rich areas to build data centers. This guidance is helpful to optimize the overall layout of China's data center, but the bandwidth factor will undoubtedly affect the user's final choice.

IDC believes that under the background of the great development of the West and the transfer of manufacturing to the Midwest, the choice of the new backbone node of the Ministry of Industry has also shown a marked tilt to the Midwest, with 7 nodes in Chengdu, Wuhan, Xi ' an, Chongqing and Zhengzhou as the core cities of the Midwest. With the rapid development of Internet in China, the reform and expansion of Internet backbone is imperative, and the interconnection problem of operators will be solved. The backbone of the expansion of the West is a good start, the new backbone of the deployment of key nodes to promote local information construction and it investment growth, the future will be the data center location, cloud computing industry layout, and even the entire ICT industry development and layout has far-reaching impact and positive significance.

Notes：

IDC divides the data center into five levels in different sizes, the study of the market includes a variety of data centers from server cabinets to thousands of square meters of enterprise-level data centers, as well as tracking and analyzing the overall data center market from different perspectives such as end-user it investment and service provider outsourcing services.
