As per an announcement on the China Government Procurement Network, the successful bid outcome for the 'Guangming Large-Scale Device Computing Power Service Support Platform Procurement Project' was disclosed on February 5. China Mobile Guangdong emerged as the winner, clinching the contract worth RMB 155 million. The project, boasting a budget of RMB 156 million, encompasses three primary components: intelligent computing power services, information security operation and maintenance, and storage equipment. It explicitly mandates the localization of equipment. The core equipment lineup features Huawei Ascend 910C chips, Tiangong ultra-dense cluster architecture, and Lingqu bus, collectively delivering 160 petaflops of intelligent computing power for 16-bit floating-point operations per second. The winning storage equipment, Huawei OceanStor Pacific 9550, employs an innovative architecture, offering a single chassis capacity ranging from 720TB to 2160TB. This design saves 62.5% of space compared to traditional storage solutions, rendering it ideal for storing massive amounts of unstructured data. This bid victory signifies the formation of a technological closed loop for domestic computing power within the supercomputing realm and affirms the replacement capability of domestic storage equipment in critical sectors.
