Isikhungo sedatha, etholakala esifundazweni eseningizimu-ntshonalanga yeGuizhou, iqale ukusebenza kuleli sonto, ngokusho kwamaphephandaba asendaweni. Isikhungo sedatha sizosetshenziswa yiGuizhou-Cloud Big Data (GCBD) futhi sizosetshenziselwa ukugcina idatha ye-iCloud evela kumakhasimende aseChina ezweni lonke.
