Centrin: Wuhan Supercomputing Center

The Wuhan Supercomputing Center was the pilot project of the National Cybersecurity Talent and Innovation Base and the first stage of Centrin's Wuhan Digital Valley project. Centrin built it as a transitional facility while it planned the larger Digital Valley campus, on a plot the Linkonggang zone provided in a management committee compound beside the base. It uses container and micro-module data center technology, holds about 100 racks for more than 2,000 servers, and follows TIA-942 Tier 3 and GB 50174 Class A standards.

The center runs the Centrin Wuhan e-government cloud, built with Huawei, which hosts systems for Wuhan city and district agencies. Wuhan named it a new symbol of the city's smart city program in 2019.
