Big data center to propel Zhongwei's cloud computing industry

A big data center was announced on Wednesday which will be established in the Western Cloud Base in Zhongwei, in Northwest China's Ningxia Hui autonomous region, as the city steps up efforts to further develop its cloud computing industry.
