It is understood that this is also China Mobile in Heilongjiang and outside of Inner Mongolia, the third warehouse-type IDC.

At home, China Mobile because of lack of infrastructure, in the business development also lacks the attraction of content providers, in the IDC market has lagged far behind China Telecom, and therefore, to strengthen the IDC construction has become China Mobile's important task at this stage.

It is understood that China Mobile Chengdu Data Center will be in accordance with the construction model of warehouse-type computer room, is expected to be completed in 2019, will form more than 25,000 racks of trusteeship capacity and more than 1000G of Internet export bandwidth, will attract more than 20,000 Internet enterprises settled in Chengdu information industry will play a huge pull role.

According to China Mobile Planning, the center occupies 400 acres and plans to invest 6 billion yuan. Among them, the first phase of the project covers an area of 200 acres, the total building space of 58,200 square meters, investment 1.8 billion yuan, the second phase of the project covers an area of 200 acres, the total construction floor of 138,000 square meters, investment 4.2 billion yuan.

In the data center construction planning, at present, China Mobile focus on the first level of IDC construction.

Level two IDC, including other provinces according to the province's business needs of the construction of IDC, the main task is to meet local content hosting and group customer application requirements, at the same time as a kind of IDC supplement, provide mirroring, content distribution and other functions.

Industry analysts say Chengdu Data Center as a group-oriented data center, but also covers China Mobile Central and western regions of the data center, the first bearer of the China Mobile group will be the IDC business, but also take into account the Sichuan provincial network centralized IT support platform, core network, business platform needs.

Due to the rapid development of Internet business in recent years, the Internet (network games, integrated websites, E-commerce, video sites, etc.) customers use IDC business accounted for up to 71%-72%, so the Chengdu Data Center will focus on the introduction of Internet content business. In addition, the Chengdu Data Center will share some of the group's functional business (such as Group Call Center network management, IT Support Center and other business) and Sichuan Province Mobile company's related business, as well as the new technologies and business including cloud computing.

Compete with China Telecom's "eight Cloud"

China's IDC market is showing rapid growth. Forecast data show that 2005-2010 years, China's IDC market size increased 6 times times, the average annual growth rate of more than 30%. 2011 China IDC Market size has reached 12.86 billion yuan (hereinafter), is expected to reach 17.62 billion yuan in 2012. At the same time, different enterprises to the network requirements of the difference, but also to the operators of IDC services to put forward higher requirements.

At home, China Mobile in the IDC market layout has been significantly behind China Telecom. Taking Sichuan as an example, Sichuan Telecom's existing broadband users about 4.1 million (of which group users 600,000), 21 cities in the province have a computer room, the total of nearly 2000 racks, its western Information Center, the universal data Chengdu Data Centre, Wingiang neutral data center has been built into the operation. Compared with the weak foundation of China Mobile in Sichuan area, IDC engine room construction is still in its infancy stage.

Importantly, China Telecom's distribution in the IDC area is still advancing rapidly. Recently, China Telecom has published eight cloud computing products and solutions together with Chengdu City, Chengdu Cloud Computing Innovation Application public service platform officially unveiled, and put forward to build "cloud host, Cloud computer, cloud security, Cloud call, Cloud Software supermarket, wing disk, Enterprise cloud storage and Virtual cloud data Center" "Eight Cloud" plan.

Facing the double pressure of market demand and competition, China Mobile has become the urgent task to accelerate the development of IDC. The construction of the Chengdu Data Center will help China Mobile develop its ability to compete with China Mobile in the IDC field. Ding, a German telecoms analyst, said the Chengdu Data center would likely host China Mobile's cloud services and combine with the content services of the Chengdu Wireless Music base in order to play a differentiated advantage and compete with China Telecom's ' eight cloud ' plan.

At present, China Mobile is rapidly promoting the construction of IDC, the future, the gap with China Telecom will be further reduced. China Mobile said that by 2015, China Mobile will develop 63 large-scale enterprises and enterprises 1890 racks, the introduction of 2,200 sites 22,000 racks, the public service cloud accounted for the traditional IDC-scale 10%;IDC machine room total area needs will reach 547,000 square meters. By 2020, the development of 198 large-scale enterprises and enterprises 5,940 racks, the introduction of 2,600 sites 26,000 racks, the public service cloud accounted for the traditional IDC-scale 18%;IDC machine room total area needs will reach 733,000 square meters.
