Action plan for high-quality development of computing infrastructure

What is computing infrastructure?

Computing power is a new type of productivity that integrates information computing power, network carrying power and data storage power, and provides services to the society mainly through computing infrastructure such as computing power center. As an important part of the new information infrastructure, computing infrastructure presents features such as multi-ubiquitous, intelligent and agile, safe and reliable, green and low-carbon, which is of great significance for promoting industrial transformation and upgrading, enabling scientific and technological innovation and progress, meeting people's needs for a better life and realizing efficient social governance.

2. What is the background of the Action Plan?

 With the full opening of the digital economy era, computing power is injecting new momentum into the digital transformation of all walks of life in a new form of productivity, and becoming an important driving force for high-quality economic and social development. As the main carrier of computing power, computing infrastructure is an important resource and infrastructure to support the development of digital economy, and plays an important role in realizing digital transformation, cultivating future industries, and forming new driving forces for economic development.

At present, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is evolving in depth, the importance of computing infrastructure is increasing, and countries continue to increase investment. China's computing infrastructure development has achieved remarkable results, but compared with the goal of promoting the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy, achieving high-quality economic and social development, and coping with the requirements of the fierce competition in the international market, there is still a certain gap. In order to further gather industrial consensus, strengthen policy guidance, and comprehensively promote the high-quality development of China's computing infrastructure, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other six departments jointly issued the Action Plan.

3. What are the basic principles and main contents of the Action Plan?

"Action Plan" combined with the status quo and development trend of the computing infrastructure industry, clear "multiple supply, optimize the layout; Demand traction, strengthen empowerment; Innovation-driven, pooling force; The basic principle of "Green, low-carbon, safe and reliable" has formulated the main development goals by 2025, and put forward six key tasks, including improving the comprehensive supply system of computing power, enhancing the efficient carrying capacity of computing power, strengthening the efficient and flexible support of storage power, deepening the application of computing power enabling industry, promoting the development of green and low-carbon computing power, and strengthening the capacity building of security security. We will strive to promote the high-quality development of computing infrastructure.

What are the specific goals for computing infrastructure development in the next three years?

The Action Plan puts forward quantitative development indicators by 2025 from four aspects of computing power, carrying power, storage power and application empowerment to guide the high-quality development of computing infrastructure.

In terms of computing power, the scale of computing power exceeds 300EFLOPS, and the proportion of intelligent computing power reaches 35%. In terms of carrying capacity, the national hub node data center cluster has basically achieved direct network transmission with no more than 1.5 times the theoretical delay, the coverage rate of optical transmission network (OTN) in key application sites has reached 80%, the backbone network and metropolitan area network fully support IPv6, and the use of new technologies such as SRv6 has reached 40%. In terms of storage capacity, the total storage capacity exceeds 1800EB, and the proportion of advanced storage capacity reaches more than 30%. In terms of application empowerment, more than 30 application benchmarks have been created in key areas such as industry, finance, medical care, transportation, energy and education.

5. What are the key tasks in the Action Plan?

A total of 25 key tasks are deployed in the "Action Plan" to improve the comprehensive supply system of computing power, from the aspects of construction layout, computing power structure, heterogeneous collaboration, and standard system. In terms of improving the efficient carrying capacity of computing power, the deployment is carried out from the aspects of carrying quality, access network, computing power scheduling, etc. In the aspect of strengthening the efficient and flexible guarantee of storage power, it will be deployed from the same aspects of storage technology, storage industry and storage and computing network cooperation; In terms of deepening the application of computing power empowerment in the industry, the work deployment was focused on industry, education, finance, transportation, medical care and energy. In terms of promoting the development of green and low-carbon computing power, it has been deployed from the aspects of improving the carbon efficiency level of computing power, guiding market applications, and empowering the development of the industry. In terms of strengthening security guarantee capacity building, deployment is carried out from the aspects of improving network security, strengthening data security, and recommending supply chain security.
