The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics is a brand new Chinese business card that China has shown to the outside world. In a recent speech to the outside world through Alibaba Cloud Gathering, IOC President Bach was full of praise, he praised Beijing as the first city of the Double Olympic Games, also praised the wonderful opening ceremony, and said that China has created history and achieved the vision of "300 million people on ice and snow".
Interestingly, in his three-minute speech, Bach mentioned Alibaba 5 times and praised it. Bach said that he can share the stage with Daniel Zhang across time and space is a perfect example of Ali's digital transformation of the way he experiences the Olympic Games.
He also said that the magic of the Olympics can be brought to a global audience, thanks to the support of partners like Alibaba.
At this year's Beijing Winter Olympics, Ali is one of the invisible heroes behind it, and the core information system of the Beijing Winter Olympics has achieved 100% operation on Alibaba Cloud, replacing traditional IT by cloud computing, and carrying the organization and operation of the Olympic Games.
Don't underestimate this migration, which is one of the key links of the Green Winter Olympics. Compared with the traditional computer room, the Alibaba Cloud Winter Olympic data center can achieve 100% mechanical-free cooling, reducing thermal energy consumption to more than 70%.
In the face of reporters' questions, Bach could not help but praise Alibaba 3 times, and also thanked Alibaba for its cloud broadcast technology.
At the Athens Olympic Games more than 100 years ago, only photos could be used to leave a wonderful picture of the time; until 1928, there was radio broadcasting; and then, the Olympic Games experienced a revolution in television and high-definition broadband. In this process, the broadcast gradually developed from a delay of several months and weeks to instant broadcasting and instant viewing.
At the Beijing Winter Olympics, all events were broadcast to the world by Alibaba Cloud, with a cumulative broadcast time of up to 6,000 hours. During this period, Alibaba Cloud continuously recorded the event on the spot, and synchronized the image information to countries around the world through data computing services, providing the first time to the global audience with a full 4K level ultra-high-definition broadcast screen. Even some small countries and regions that were not covered before can watch the Olympic Games through cloud broadcasting, allowing billions of viewers around the world to witness every wonderful moment on the Winter Olympics.
If you look at the Olympic Games from this perspective, in addition to being a feast for sports, it is also an excellent stage for China's new technology to appear.
