Digital Infrastructure

FAQ

What specific content does digital infrastructure include?

Digital infrastructure mainly includes three categories: first, information infrastructure, such as communication network facilities like 5G networks, gigabit optical networks, the Internet of Things, and satellite Internet, as well as computing power facilities like data centers and intelligent computing centers; second, converged infrastructure, which involves the intelligent transformation of traditional infrastructure using digital technology, such as smart transportation, smart energy, and smart water conservancy; third, innovative infrastructure, such as major scientific and technological infrastructure, science and education infrastructure, and industrial technology innovation infrastructure. In industry practice, digital infrastructure also often includes software infrastructure like data middle platforms, business middle platforms, and AI platforms.

What is the relationship between digital infrastructure and 'new infrastructure'?

Digital infrastructure is the core component of 'new infrastructure.' New infrastructure (new-type infrastructure construction) includes three major areas: information infrastructure, converged infrastructure, and innovative infrastructure, among which information infrastructure constitutes the main body of digital infrastructure. It can be said that digital infrastructure is the 'core' and 'engine' of new infrastructure, while the scope of new infrastructure is broader, also encompassing non-digital new infrastructure such as ultra-high voltage power transmission and intercity high-speed railways. Both emphasize technology innovation as the driving force and are oriented toward digitalization, networking, and intelligence.

How does digital infrastructure empower smart campus construction?

Digital infrastructure empowers smart campuses by building an integrated 'cloud-network-edge-device' architecture: at the cloud level, it establishes educational private clouds or hybrid clouds to provide elastic computing and storage resources; at the network layer, it deploys 5G+WiFi6 converged networks to achieve seamless connectivity across the entire campus; at the edge, it deploys edge computing nodes to support low-latency applications (such as VR/AR teaching); at the device level, it collects data through smart terminals (electronic class boards, smart screens, sensors). On this basis, the data middle platform integrates data from systems such as academic affairs, student services, and logistics, while the AI platform provides capabilities like personalized learning recommendations, intelligent course scheduling, and campus security alerts. The 'Cloud University' project, in which Mangxu Technology participates, is a typical practice of this model.

What key points should enterprises pay attention to when building digital infrastructure?

Enterprises should focus on the following key points when building digital infrastructure: 1) Prioritize top-level design to avoid 'siloed' construction and ensure interconnectivity among systems; 2) Place data governance at the core, establishing unified data standards and quality control systems; 3) Integrate security and privacy protection throughout, adopting mechanisms such as zero-trust architecture, data encryption, and access control; 4) Choose open and scalable technical architectures to avoid being locked into a single vendor; 5) Emphasize operations and iteration, as digital infrastructure is not a one-time project but requires continuous optimization and evolution.

What significance does digital infrastructure have for small and medium-sized enterprises?

Digital infrastructure provides small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with an opportunity to 'change lanes and overtake.' Through digital infrastructure such as public clouds, SaaS services, and industrial internet platforms, SMEs can access computing power, storage, and AI capabilities at a low cost that previously only large enterprises could afford. For example, SMEs can achieve business digitalization through cloud services without having to build their own data centers; by connecting to industrial internet platforms, they can quickly realize the intelligent transformation of production processes. Digital infrastructure lowers the threshold for digital transformation, enabling SMEs to respond more flexibly to market changes.
