IDC is the place where enterprises, merchants or web server groups are hosted; It is the infrastructure for the safe operation of various e-commerce modes, and it is also a platform to support enterprises and their business alliances, their distributors, suppliers and customers to implement value chain management.
IDC has two very important characteristics: its position in the network and the total bandwidth capacity of the network, which constitute a part of the basic network resources. Just like backbone networks and access networks, IDC provides high-end data delivery services and high-speed access services.
IDC originated from the demand of ICP for high-speed network interconnection, and the United States is still in the position of world leader. In the United States, in order to protect their own interests, operators set the internet bandwidth very low, and users should put a server at each service provider. In order to solve this problem, IDC came into being to ensure that the servers hosted by customers have no bottlenecks when accessing from various networks.
Several well-known IDC service providers in China include China Wang Wan, Wang Xin, Business China, Star Internet, Haiteng Data Center and China Information Port.
