2023 APCA AWARD Annual Award

In 2022, the "East Digital West Computing" project and the construction of Digital China achieved significant results, with an accelerated increase in the scale of computing infrastructure and preliminary results in the collaborative transformation of digital and green technology. Data, algorithms, and computing power are the three major elements of the development of the digital economy. In 2023, the digital economy is booming, and AIGC, big models, and other industries have undergone profound changes in office, e-commerce, entertainment, education, media, and other industries. Traditional cloud platforms are gradually evolving towards computing power cloud platforms. As an important digital infrastructure, new data centers, intelligent computing centers, and supercomputing centers are indispensable, and green, low-carbon, sustainable, and high-quality development remains an important direction.

On September 7, 2023,   2023 APCA Summit Green Data Center Innovation Forum, jointly hosted by   Asia Pacific Cloud Application Alliance, China Optical Expo, and DTDATA, and supported by the Digital Infrastructure Branch of the Shenzhen Digital Economy Industry Promotion Association, was successfully held in Shenzhen.

Meeting site

As a concurrent event of the 24th China International Optoelectronics Expo, this forum is based on data centers, focusing on emerging information technologies such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and 5G. Combining with hot topics such as AIGC and big models, we will share the opinions, advanced technologies, innovative solutions, and practices of numerous experts in the industry. At the same time, we will further increase the promotion and promotion of typical cases of national new data centers, and promote the high-quality construction and application of computing infrastructure, Better support digital transformation in various fields of the economy and society.

The meeting was opened by DTDATA General Manager Zhong Shaomei, who introduced the situation of the meeting to the attending guests.

At the meeting, Yang Hong, Vice President of Shenzhen Digital Economy Industry Promotion Association, expressed warm congratulations on the convening of the forum in his speech. He pointed out that with the acceleration of the construction of Digital China, digital infrastructure and new data centers have become important foundations for the construction of Digital China and the high-quality development of the digital economy. Yang Hong stated that the deep integration of emerging information technology, digital technology, and the real economy will generate an increasing demand for computing power. How to consolidate digital infrastructure and provide safe, reliable, and high-quality support for high computing power, green, low-carbon, and sustainable new data centers are the development path. The Shenzhen Digital Economy Industry Promotion Association is a government enterprise bridge and platform that focuses on the field of digital economy. With the purpose of "focusing on the digital economy to promote industry empowerment", the Digital Infrastructure Branch gathers senior industry experts and excellent enterprises to actively carry out research and promotion of related technical topics for new infrastructure such as data centers. We hope to work together with industry experts and upstream and downstream industry chain enterprises, Together, promote the green, low-carbon, sustainable, and high-quality development of new data centers, and contribute to the deep integration of digital infrastructure and the digital economy.

Liu Hejun, Deputy General Manager of Shenzhen Yixin Technology Co., Ltd., stated in the article titled "Development Trends and Challenges in the Construction of High Computing Power Green Data Centers" that the current data center intelligence is increasing, PUE requirements are becoming stricter, computing power businesses are emerging, and the demand for single cabinet power is constantly increasing, leading to the development of high computing power and high power. At the same time, it is facing challenges such as high reliability and high energy efficiency. Yixin Technology has achieved many innovations and practices in energy conservation and efficient refrigeration in data centers, such as indirect evaporative chillers, fully natural cooling systems for downdraft air conditioning between trains, and terminal secondary pump systems. It has been selected in the "National Catalogue of Energy Saving Technology Products for the Communication Industry" for five consecutive years; The Baiwangxin Cloud Data Center can support efficient cooling of 50kW for a single cabinet, meeting the high computing power needs of chip design, artificial intelligence, and other fields. In terms of green computing power center layout, Eason Technology has completed the deployment of Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area (Shenzhen Data Center, Huizhou Data Center, Guangzhou Data Center), International Free Trade Port (Hainan Data Center), Chengdu Chongqing Region (Chengdu Data Center), Central China Region (Dongjianghu Data Center, Zhengzhou Data Center), and Beijing Tianjin Hebei Jin Region (Yangquan Data Center). In the future, Eason Technology will rely on self built and cooperative computing centers throughout the country to provide services such as "data storage", "disaster recovery backup", and "intelligent computing platform" for industries such as the internet, finance, artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and transportation logistics.
