In addition to its own positioning aimed at high-end international market, ChinaCache Atecsys features unique customized service in computer room construction and customer service. The key reason why traditional data centers can not fully match demands of corporate customers is the rigid mode of computer room construction and without full consideration into the needs of involved enterprises. On the contrary, ChinaCache Atecsys adopts the construction method of secondary design, leaving space for early-stage transformation in the computer room after completing the construction design. After confirmation of sales leads, the design team of ChinaCache Atecsys will conduct 2-month in-depth communication with customers, listen to their demands on technology, equipment brands and product levels, and then make a secondary design for the computer room. In general, production and equipment installation and commissioning are completed as per customer requirements.

Wang Jinfeng mentioned that the next step for ChinaCache Atecsys is to support the national big data development strategy to build new data centers in areas of big data development potentials such as Guiyang, Chengde and Changchun. It’s estimated in the next step planning that in the next five to ten years ChinaCache Atecsys would build about ten data centers in seven large and medium sized cities in China. In the future, ChinaCache Atecsys will develop strategic cooperation with domestic and overseas customers with its professional standards of international level and high-end customized operating modes.

How to Solve Power Outage? ChinaCache Atecsys Data Center Opens Security New Era

This summer is destined to be unusual. Industry insiders have called last May as “Black May” since Momo, Netease, Alipay and Ctrip all suffered from power outage one by one. But this disaster did not come to an end. Qingcloud and Ali Cloud experienced power failures too last Jun. Although the causes for these accidents are not the same, the same outage results send alarms to Internet enterprises in terms of operating safety. Disaster recovery capacity, which was not popular in the past, returns back to people's horizon now.

Many Internet users commented that even great Internet companies are not as great as the evacuating machines from Lanxiang Vocational School. Well, is this the case? The Internet and mobile Internet has deeply integrated our life, causing quantity and calculated quantity to explode exponentially. Entering into 2015, the Internet has come to a new turning point - "Internet +", which is the real big data era. As one of the era approaching symbols, all data and information will be stored within the cloud. Yet, most of domestic Internet companies are in lack of data backup experience and practice, unprepared especially in case of emergencies. Once the power failure happens, recovery operation is behind the international level. From this perspective, market opportunities lie right there.

It’s known that ChinaCache Atecsys International Data Center (hereafter referred to as ChinaCache Atecsys), China’s first and Beijing’s biggest cloud computing based service platform,  is a cloud computing industry base tailored for China's Internet industry, mobile Internet industry and traditional industry, based on ChinaCache’s several years of IDC and CDN operating management experience advantage, Internet resource integration advantage, and business resource advantage.

ChinaCache Atecsys is equipped with the best hardware infrastructure: from the design point of view, ChinaCache Atecsys inherits single-building-enterprise design concept, in accordance with market demands of data centers at enterprise level; its data center computer room floor design refers to National Class A Computer Room Standard and the U.S. Telecommunications Industry Association T3 + / T4 Standard; modular design plus N + 1 redundancy configuration ensure safe and continuous equipment operating, being a high-grade data center in line with international standards. At the same time, the data center combines individual needs. Each data center is independent from each other and without interference in terms of building structure, power supply, water supply, air conditioning, and monitoring. This not only meets privacy and security requirements of high-end customers, but also ensures customer demands to be tailored for design and construction during marketing promotion, fully catering to customer application requirements. Meanwhile, interference can be avoided in operating and maintenance management in the future, achieving high quality differentiated service.

When the society comes into the era of data, the Internet has begun to connect everything. The IT security, which forms the basis of the Internet era, becomes the commanding height for national strategic security and enterprise survival and development. On July 1, President Xi Jinping signed Presidential Decree No. 29 to grant and release the new national security law. This means that the localization, security, and specialization of the IT industry are irreversible. The outages of the Internet enterprises have called for professional cloud data centers to guarantee data and network security. The new era of Internet + needs a new type of industrial base represented by ChinaCache Atecsys.

ChinaCache Atecsys Attended Guiyang International Big Data Industry Expo, Super-large Scale Data Center Right in Time

Guiyang International Big Data Industry Expo and Global Big Data Era Guiyang Summit was held on May 26, 2015, as the highest-level big data technology and application expo in Southwestern China by far, receiving great attention from the state and Guizhou government, attracting domestic and foreign heavyweight big data enterprises with ChinaCache included to attend.

What kind of data centers will be needed in the future?

Mobile Internet will surely replace traditional Internet and become mainstream information consumption. A large amount of data in Internet of Things applications and network requirements are pressing needs for high-grade super-large scale data centers. In addition, with the starting of the big data era, the demand for data centers will increase explosively.

Data centers are all over the country, but the application models of the data centers mostly are by self construction or by renting. The former has very high requirements towards enterprise upfront capital investment and subsequent technology investment, while the latter has certain application restrictions in some special industries. Therefore, to meet the needs of super-large scale data centers, ChinaCache Atecsys property-right data center has become the new model in data center development. At present, ChinaCache Atecsys is leading in the exploration and application of property-right data centers.

It’s introduced by the Head of ChinaCache Atecsys that ChinaCache Atecsys is located in Shunyi Tianzhu Tax Free Zone, covering a total construction area of 80,000 square meters, including nine data center buildings and one content-aware experience center, accommodating 7500 cabinets. Besides, ChinaCache Atecsys offers four major advantages. The first is the advantage of scale: the construction level is T3+ / T4 level and the design capacity is 10,000 cabinets. The second is electric service advantage: dual-power-source double-utility-line, to ensure the electrical supplying of the data center. The third is geographical location advantage: convenient for employees and customers to access, within airport tax-protected zone, high security guarantee. The fourth is protective tax and tax return advantage: free import tax, export tax rebate, to lower operating costs.

In 2014, ChinaCache Atecsys had two data centers purchased successively by the People's Daily and the Beijing Municipal Supply and Marketing Cooperative, two pioneering enterprises using property-right data centers.

Property-right data centers, to assure enterprises to have long-term and stable development

For some specific industries, the leasing of data centers is not a long-term solution for the development of the enterprises. The demand of the enterprises to large scale data centers has increased, and purchasing property-right data centers has become popular application method at present. It’s believed by industry expert that there are four main reasons for the enterprises to purchase data centers:

First, for data-dependent enterprises, such as Internet, finance, some government departments, data centers are the core of their strategic assets. No matter from the perspective of development, security or usage reliability, it is necessary to possess a data center. Compared with rigid demands in these aspects, cost is considered secondary factor.

The second, the construction and maintenance of data centers require a lot of expertise and professional personnel, with long term good relationship with local government departments to be maintained. Except top companies in each industry, medium and large enterprises generally don't have the capacity of self construction. If a data center with independent property right can be purchased, this will have important strategic significance to their data center security and usage convenience.

The third, large-scale high-grade data centers, as scarce resource of the industry, will cause higher and higher occupancy costs. From long-term perspective, the total cost of ownership by possessing such data centers has very obvious cost advantage.

Finally, possessing data center property right also offers certain investment and leveraged finance function, and can enjoy industry bonus due to asset appreciation. For investment-oriented customers, this leads to long-term stable returns.

Besides, according to expert analysis, ChinaCache data centers have become a platform basis to carry the future development of the enterprises and industries. With the increase of domestic data centers, improving data center investment and usage patterns has become the foundation for positive development of the data centers. The appearance of ChinaCache Atecsys at Guiyang Big Data Industry Expo has revealed the practical significance of super-large scale data centers, playing a demonstrative role in the exploration of property-right data centers. For many corporations, it is a right time to choose a super-large scale data center, while proper-right data centers will be the first choice to meet the actual demand of the enterprises.
