ZDATA Retains Top 10 Spot Among China’s Computing Center Service Providers, Ranked in Benchmark Leader Echelon

On September 2, the 2026 Open Data Center Conference & 1st Computing Expo (ODX) kicked off grandly at Phase II of the China National Convention Center. Under the theme of “Open AI Infra, Empowerment Through Inclusive Computing Power”, the event gathered leading enterprises from the global computing power industrial chain. At the opening ceremony, the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) officially released the Analysis Report on Computing Center Service Providers (2026). With its end-to-end comprehensive strength, ZDATA retained its position among the “Top 10 Computing Center Service Providers in China” and was ranked in the Benchmark Leader echelon.

Kang Nan, Vice President of ZDATA, represented the group at the on-stage release.

As an industry bellwether with 12 editions of development, the Open Data Center Conference (ODCC) has released over 300 industrial outcomes and gathered tens of thousands of industry elites, showcasing cutting-edge technologies and development achievements of the computing power sector. The Analysis Report on Computing Center Service Providers (2026) released at this conference adopts the industry-recognized and authoritative “three-dimensional, four-tier” comprehensive enterprise evaluation matrix, featuring a rigorous, professional and multi-dimensional selection system. The report divides top computing center service providers into four echelons: Benchmark Leaders, Dedicated Competitors, Value Stewards, and Emerging Pioneers, clearly outlining the industry’s competitive landscape. Meanwhile, it conducts quantitative assessment across three core dimensions—breadth of construction layout, height of technological innovation, and market operation capability—presenting each enterprise’s core strengths and differentiated competitiveness in a holistic manner, and providing multi-dimensional capability reference and development guidance for the industry.

2026 marks the inaugural year of large-scale AI inference deployment. ZDATA has completed a computing power network layout covering core hub nodes across China, and built multiple benchmark projects for ultra-large intelligent computing parks. Its rapid cluster deployment and operation capabilities rank among the first tier in the industry, which can efficiently adapt to the scheduling demands of the national integrated computing power network. In terms of technological innovation, ZDATA has deep roots in green low-carbon and intelligent computing technology implementation, and has accumulated profound technical expertise in fields such as liquid cooling heat dissipation, cascaded energy utilization, low-PUE operation and high-performance storage. A number of its practical outcomes have been included in national industrial standards and typical application cases. In terms of market operation, with its full-lifecycle service capabilities for data centers, ZDATA deeply covers customers in core sectors including government and enterprises, internet, and artificial intelligence. With benchmark projects delivered continuously, its industry influence and market recognition have been steadily improving.

Currently, large AI models have entered the trillion-parameter era, and ultra-large intelligent computing clusters have become the core computing foundation supporting the development of the digital economy. With the advancement of the 15th Five-Year Plan’s deployment of high-performance computing power supply, the computing power industry is accelerating its shift from theoretical computing power competition to effective computing power competition. Retaining the title of “Top 10 Computing Center Service Providers in China” is not only a strong industry recognition of ZDATA’s comprehensive strength, but also a full affirmation of the group’s years of dedication to the construction of computing power infrastructure. Going forward, ZDATA will continue to leverage its leading role as a head enterprise, deepen technological innovation and layout optimization, and support the continuous digital transformation and upgrading of industries with a high-quality, green computing power foundation.
