Wave breakout High-end market logo blade server

All along, China's server market has been showing a two-point pattern. Many domestic brands although dozen years, but still gathered in the low-end market, the overall share of less than half, even if the wave, Lenovo and other domestic leading brands, in the global rankings are also squeezed out of the top 10. In the high-end server market, although the tide and other efforts, through the localization of services and markets, such as the promotion of a slight gains, but overall, IBM, HP, Dell and other foreign manufacturers have been the high-end server market dominance.





in front of the wave and other manufacturers seem to have only this choice-breakthrough. He also mentioned the word several times in 2007 when he interviewed a senior person in the wave. But when does it break out? Where is the breakout point? All kinds of problems, people can't help not for domestic server Khanyi.





In fact, we have also noticed that over the past two years, the tide has been working actively in various aspects, trying to break through.





first of all, in terms of products, the wave has increased its strategic partnership with Intel, which has basically achieved the latest and most sophisticated server platforms with Intel, and has hit the latest platform and spec record. Two or three years, when this "follow up" to form the normal, the wave has been basically adapted to the top server market game rules, and gradually become a high-end server market. At the same time, the wave and SWsoft, XenSource and so on to establish a virtual application alliance, so that their own solutions to provide the ability to step up. Today, the wave not only has a single, dual, four-way and other traditional general-purpose server products, but also quietly achieve High-performance server (HPC), energy-saving servers, security servers and other products of the overall layout, although it can not be said that all reached the international cutting-edge, but gradually complete the product chain, has made the wave basically in the high-end market has a certain foundation.





second, in the market, the tide in 2007 for a period of time to practise "internal strength", and its personnel adjustment has even caused controversy. But in any case, what people find after the adjustment is a surge in sales performance. Looking back 2007, the tide has continued to expand itself in government, higher education, the army and other markets, in addition to the "basic disk" in the Internet and other markets have "unexpected" gains-of course, the tide certainly does not agree that this is "accidental"-In the CDN (Internet content distribution accelerated) market to win more than 5000 servers in the big single! The significance of this list is not only sales, but more importantly, the tide has accumulated experience, but also won confidence.





years of accumulation and layout, just like the number of sniping on the string, now, to the time of the hair.





There are three breakthrough points in this breakthrough: key applications, High-value-added markets and high-tech value-added markets. Specifically, the choice of the Internet (such as search engines, E-commerce, etc.), government and other High-value customers, through the provision of high-end server products and energy-efficient servers, security servers and other functional server products, while providing high-value solutions and services, thereby boosting sales profits.




The 2008-year goal of the
wave is still the normal extension of the previous years ' work, but the extension of quantitative change to qualitative change; the reporter boldly predicts: the real symbol wave in the high-end market foothold, will be blade server market expansion and stability!





is well known, Blade Server current market expansion is not ideal, the global server market blade only accounted for 10% of total sales, and the Asia-Pacific region shipments are only about 4% of the overall. However, it must be noted that, because of the high density of the blades, and so on, in the high-end market, Blade server has become an indispensable product; Similarly, because the blade server behind also represents the high complexity of design, production, maintenance, so whether the introduction of a complete blade server products and solutions, Also become a test server vendors an important measure. IBM, HP and other international manufacturers, has been sparing no effort to promote the blade, especially to promote their own blade server standards, not only in order to simply pursue higher sales and profits, but also to see they stand in the upstream product, the entire product ecological chain leading and control.





Similarly, for high-end industry users, Blade server is also a lingering temptation. Although for most of China's current users, as a result of their own computing needs are not strong, especially blade server price is still in a high position, the current domestic enterprise blade server demand is not exuberant, but can think, with the blade of the server itself gradually improve and the user needs of the gradual uplift, It should be a logical thing to extend further to the blade server from multiple multi-core servers.





Wang Hongli said in the long run, "undeniable blade will replace the original rack-type products, the new product form to the customer is the stability, customers will feel that this is more cost-effective, plus this product will help to expand the wave of new customers, because the Internet customer is very practical, Brands are not the biggest hurdle for them, and the most important thing is to be practical and to meet greater needs. ”





The tide has made some preparations. Not long ago, the wave has released the positioning in fast-growing enterprises entry-level blade server nx660d, and high-density blade server nx7140d. In announcing the "high-end strategy" at the same time, Wang Hongli revealed that the wave will be launched this July or August new Blade products nx7100d, which will be the world's first 5400 platform High-performance Blade Server, will also be a new Wave application server integration platform.





Wang Hongli Introduction, the current wave in the blade server focus on products or nx7140d. This product is designed to create a new trend for Chinese users, each blade is designed with low-power memory and supports low-power processors, making performance power consumption one-fold higher than the original product, with a power consumption of only 1400 watts-the only blade server currently in the market that can be controlled within 1500 watts. Reduced energy consumption so that the original in the cabinet can only put a blade chassis, can be realized in a cabinet inside can put two blade chassis, to the customer province a large number of rental space costs.





in the face of IBM, HP and other companies already in the high-end market foothold, Wang Hongli not to say that the competitiveness of rivals, she said, the tide is now doing is aimed at market segments, with innovation to win market opportunities.
