Nasrollah Jahangard who was speaking during a visit to Gilan provincial data center, said that the province was among the 8 provinces having their own data center. He highlighted operation of provincial data centers as major infrastructures of national information network; with operation of data centers and traffic switch inside the country, many services will be provided to public through a cloud network.
"Considerable efforts had been waged to transfer digital data hosting; currently, we host a domestic data traffic amounting to 40 percent of the foreign traffic, with catapulting Iran to the top of Middle East countries in terms of hosting data traffic,” Jahangard told reporters.
"In past four decades, countries which had initiated renewal and modeling based on information technology have now long outfoxed other countries; for example, South Korea has been using information technology for development, with Samsung Electronics contributing 2 percent of the GDP,” he said.
He also said by 2020 the "internet of things” would be a reality: "The next big wave of information technology will be ‘internet of things’ and data transfer. It is estimated that there will be about 50 mobile users.”
