Occupying an area of 7.6 hectares, the phase II project has a total investment of 1.25 billion yuan ($197.46 million) and is planned to be put into operation in December 2023.

After being completed, the project will improve the internet data center's business services, enhance its ability to reduce network errors, increase the security of its network structure, and provide better communication for Gansu's digital economy.

The park is now the largest and most advanced data center in Gansu province and offers professional hardware operation and maintenance services for the local government and enterprises.
