Build a national data element circulation data infrastructure for the large market of national unified data elements

01 Overview

(1) Data infrastructure has become a new foundation for economic and social development

First, the construction of new data infrastructure is imminent. With the rapid development of the digital economy, data has become an important factor of production, and the demand for data resource aggregation, sharing, circulation and application is increasing rapidly, and the requirements for storage, computing, network and security are also getting higher and higher. Traditional infrastructure can no longer meet the requirements, and the construction of new data infrastructure has become an inevitable requirement for economic and social development. Second, the new data infrastructure is designed to support digital development. In a broad sense, the new data infrastructure is an institutional system and system facilities with the goal of supporting digital development, mining data value and ensuring data security as the basic point, and realizing the collection, aggregation, transmission, storage, processing, development and application of data elements as the main content (as shown in Figure 1). In a narrow sense, the new data infrastructure refers to various hardware facilities and software platforms that support the circulation of data elements. Third, the new data infrastructure should have "five high" characteristics. In order to give full play to the role of data productivity, the new data infrastructure should have the characteristics of "high storage, high computing power, high transport capacity, high security, and high energy efficiency".

(2) Survival has become a new scale for the construction of new data infrastructure

First, retention represents a comprehensive performance with data storage as the core. Storage capacity (1) is the storage capacity of data, which is the core of storage capacity, including performance, reliability, green and low-carbon comprehensive ability. With the support of survival, collaborative computing power "calculates fast" and the network "transmits steadily", data infrastructure can give full play to the dividend of data elements and enable the high-quality development of the digital economy. Second, the all-flash data center has become a typical representative of "high memory". All-flash data center is a new type of data infrastructure based on advanced flash storage media, high-performance Ethernet storage network, data disaster recovery and other technologies, which gathers high-quality storage resources, combines green and low-carbon technologies, builds high-speed network transmission, integrates multi-dimensional data protection, and provides multiple, efficient, safe and green storage services. The all-flash data center has the characteristics of media flash storage, network IP, three-dimensional data protection, storage and computing decoupling, intelligent management, etc., and can carry the high-value data of thousands of industries, providing a key driving force for the construction and development of the data element market.

02 Development status

The construction of new data infrastructure in China is developing rapidly

1. Strategic planning and layout to guide the construction of data infrastructure

In March 2020, the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee clearly proposed to "accelerate the construction of new infrastructure such as 5G networks and data centers." The "14th Five-Year Plan" Big Data Industry Development Plan, the Implementation Plan of the National Integrated Big Data Center Collaborative Innovation System Computing Hub, and the Three-year Action Plan for the Development of New Data Centers (2021-2023) clearly propose to speed up the construction of the national integrated big data center system, and build a number of national hub nodes and big data center clusters. And accelerate the construction of new data centers.

2. Strengthen independent innovation to ensure the security of core technology supply chain

First, the ability of independent research and development of basic software has been greatly improved. For example, Huawei Open Euler operating system, Hongmeng operating system, Alibaba Cloud database RDS and other domestic basic software have been launched, and independent research and development capabilities have continued to increase. Second, the independent supply of core chips continues to strengthen. Such as chip design, manufacturing, packaging, testing and other whole process technology supply capacity continues to improve, according to statistics, China's computing chips, memory chips and other core chip self-sufficiency rate has been close to 5%.

3. Accelerate the construction layout and improve the supply capacity of data resources

First, the trend of large-scale and intensive data center construction is obvious. For example, large data centers show a rapid growth trend, accounting for more than 80% of data centers. Second, the number of government data open platforms has surged, and the data supply has increased rapidly. According to statistics, the number of open government data platforms increased from 3 in 2012 to 193 in 2021, an increase of 63 times. Third, communication technology continues to innovate, leading the world in data transmission capacity. Communication technologies represented by 5G and 6G are developing rapidly, the construction and deployment of all-optical networks and IPv6 are accelerating, and optical fiber and mobile broadband networks are leading the world.
