Read the Pulse of Data Series One: The Evolving of Data Center in the AIGC Era

Introduction: Artificial intelligence has emerged as the most transformative technology of our time. Generative AI, or AIGC, has gained global popularity over the past year for its ability to use AI algorithms to create innovative and high-quality content. As a crucial infrastructure for AI, data centers are inevitably becoming part of this technological revolution.

In the AIGC era, we are on the brink of a new generation of data centers时代下，新一代数据中心的大门正在徐徐打开

The rise of OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard has accelerated the development of AIGC around the world. The digital economy, driven by cloud computing, big data, and artificial intelligence and other innovations, is increasingly recognized as both a "stabilizer" and "accelerator" of China's national economy. Artificial intelligence, a key component of the digital economy, is influencing various sectors and is expected to drive significant technological and industrial changes over the next 8 to 10 years. According to iResearch, China’s AIGC industry is projected to grow from RMB 14.3 billion in 2023 to RMB 720.2 billion by 2028, and reach RMB 1,144.1 billion by 2030.

However, we often overlook the critical role of data centers in unleashing the full potential of generative AI.

According to Data Bridge Market Research, global spending on AI infrastructure—encompassing data centers, networks, and other hardware essential for AI applications—is projected to reach $422.55 billion by 2029. This represents a compound annual growth rate of 44% over the next six years. JLL's Global Data Center Outlook 2023 indicates that, in 2022, the Asia-Pacific region accounted for 26% of the world’s hyper-scale data center capacity.

As a key player in both the global and Asia-Pacific economies, China’s data center sector is also experiencing rapid growth. Thanks to initiatives like the "East Data West Computing" and "New Infrastructure" strategies, China’s data center construction and overall business volume are expanding continuously. Jin Zhuanglong, Minister of Industry and Information Technology, stated at the China-Africa Digital Capacity Building Cooperation Forum in October this year that China’s data center scale has been growing at an average annual rate of nearly 30% over the past five years.

The industry’s vast scale offers limitless opportunities. The growing demand for AI-driven computing, including training and inference, will fuel the expansion of AI infrastructure. The data deluge generated by AI will require higher processing efficiency across computing, network, storage, and security management.

In this context, Chayora is actively investing in and developing cutting-edge hyper-scale data center parks in China. We are committed to a customer-centric approach, and aiming to be a trusted partner for Chinese companies.
