Insigma and Wasu Team up to Launch Cloud Service for the IDC Market in Zhejiang Province
With more and more Internet applications, cloud computing
has emerged as the main symbols of the new generation of
internet technology. In the next five years, cloud
computing industry will embrace its prime time. It also
means the urgent demand for large scale Internet Data
Centers (IDC) to accommodate the rapid expansion in volume
of business, amount of information and number of users.
Statistics show that China's domestic IDC market value
reached 10.22 billion RMB in 2010, with the compound annual
growth rate of 49% in the past five years, which is much
higher than the global growth rate. It has been projected
that China's IDC market will continue its rapid growth in
the next 2 to 3 years, boosted by the informatization in
many industries such as government, finance, logistics,
manufacture and energy.
Insigma, a leading IT service company backed by Zhejiang
University's comprehensive technological expertise, foresaw
cloud computing as a new trend in IT service and has
explored innovative cloud based business models to advance
its cooperate strategies for Smart City and intelligent
service solutions. Recently, Insigma teamed up with Wasu
(Wasu Netcom Info Port Co., Ltd.) and other business
partners to fund a joint venture, Zhejiang Huatong Cloud
Data Technology Co., Ltd., to develop infrastructure and
platforms for cloud computing.
Wasu Netcom Info Port Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Wasu
Digital TV Media Group (Wasu), is one of the largest
interactive TV/IPTV and 3G mobile TV operators in China.
Through years, Wasu has grown business in three sectors:
broadband data communication, cable TV network and new
media. Having a favorable operating environment for the
development of IDC business, Wasu will bring strong
business support to the Insigma-Wasu joint venture. Insigma
and Wasu have maintained good business relationship for
years. We are confident that the partnership will lead more
future collaborations.
Starting with Wasu's existing 5,000-m2 server farm,
Zhejiang Huatong Cloud Data Technology Co., Ltd. plans to
apply energy efficient technologies, such as the airtight
liquid cooling cabinets featuring high wind throughput with
small temperature differential, liquid cooling using
constant low temperature water and energy efficient
servers, to build and operate a total of 38,200-m2 of IDCs
by 2015. The centers include 8,000-m2 Zhuantang Data Center
at Xihu District of Hangzhou, 16,000-m2 Qiandaohu Water
Cooling Data Center at Chun'an County, 5,000-m2 Jiufeng
Water Cooling Data Center at Jinhua City, and 4,200-m2
Jinqiao Data Center at Pudong New Area of Shanghai, and
etc. The joint venture will focus on the IDC business for
China's broadcast & TV industry, which is not only the
access point and bridgehead for the industry to connect to
the internet, but also a bridge for the internet
enterprises to enter the broadcast & TV business. In
