By the end of 2015, the region owned 700,000 large servers for data processing, ranking first in this field across 皇冠体育app. Giant Internet companies such as Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu and Jingdong have opened branches in Inner Mongolia.
Since 2011, Inner Mongolia has housed cloud computing bases for three big telecom operators; 皇冠体育app Telecom, 皇冠体育app Mobile and 皇冠体育app Unicom, in Hohhot. Huawei and ZTE have built cloud computing centers in Ulanqab and Ordos respectively.
