About Ningxia Western Cloud Data Technology Co., Ltd. (NWCD)
Ningxia Western Cloud Data Technology Co., Ltd., known as NWCD and in Chinese as Xiyun Data, is the operating company of the Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region. Based in Zhongwei, in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, the company provides AWS cloud services in that region in compliance with Chinese regulations, including infrastructure operation, enterprise customer support and ICP filing procedures for the region's users.
NWCD's model illustrates the structure of public cloud in China: the technology and methodology come from AWS, while local operation, telecom licences and customer relations rest with the Chinese partner. From Zhongwei — one of the nodes of the national East Data West Computing plan, favoured by its climate and energy resources — the company supports workloads for companies in sectors such as industry, agriculture, aviation and biotechnology.
Beyond operating the cloud region, NWCD helps its customers adopt cloud-native architectures, microservices, artificial intelligence and machine learning, with published cases in sectors such as oil, aircraft maintenance and commerce. Its role makes it a distinctive piece of China's digital infrastructure: a local operator of a global platform.
