Brand Server market Crisis dark

Today, the global server market is in a good position.　　At the end of August, Garnter, a market research firm, reported a global server market survey in the second quarter of 2011, with "Global server market revenue growth 19.5%, shipments growth 8%", with the top 5 suppliers accounting for 86.1% and 69.1% per cent of market revenue and shipments respectively.　　In this great situation said the brand server market crisis dark, not to garnter with the dry, or grandstanding. Market forecasts are always the hardest at both ends. With Moore's Law, Gauden Moore's unparalleled insight lies in the fact that only over 30 transistors on the chip were available for Moore's conclusion. For nearly 40 years, the number of transistors on the chip has been exponentially increased, so to know the number of transistors on the chip two years later, simply Square today's data.　　But to know 10 years later, the data is not 10 times so simple, because at that time Moore's law may have been due to the semiconductor process limit failure.　　If there is no subversive factor involved, the competition in the mature market is mostly from the internal market, the embodiment of the form is only the fluctuation of market share of participants, the overall market trend is not much impact-reflected in the current server market, is that everyone's income growth.　　However, subversive factors have been in the server market, this is the author last week in the title of the "Markov Law" in the review article mentioned: The enterprise development is to continuously encapsulate complexity, and through the Open interface and external interconnection.　　Brand servers are expensive, because the brand is loaded or packaged with advanced and sophisticated technology, quality service, therefore, in stand-alone applications represent high quality and high reliability.　　And with cloud computing, the brand advantage will be greatly weakened. The virtualization technology that is widely used in cloud computing will significantly improve the utilization of the server, and one server can complete the work of the original three or four servers.　　The cluster architecture used in cloud computing also ensures the reliability and usability of the system, or cloud computing encapsulates the technical and quality differences between individual server vendors. Once a media peer asked Lee Kai-fu li Google how many servers, kai-Fu Lee said, if the annual output to calculate, Google should be in the server market ranked very close to the front. However, these servers are Google's own based on the x86 architecture design to find Taiwanese manufacturers, Google's storage is so the prescription.　　Google is doing so in the cloud. Why can't Microsoft do what Google can do to invest billions of dollars in building data centers and getting arm-mandated? Telecoms operators such as China Mobile have been favored by overtime for cloud computing, why can't Huawei and other telecoms equipment manufacturers do it?　　Even in an interview with the author in Hangzhou, Silver Electronics also said that it would use its own server in the cloud computing solutions provided by the company. Cloud computing for the brand server market subversion is reflected in: Virtualization improves the utilization of the server to reduce the server market demand, the cluster architecture weakens the server's brand effect.
