China two units join OpenPOWER Foundation or promote innovation

"Tenkine Server Channel Spring Festival", Suzhou Sheng Acer Information Technology Co., Ltd. and Jiangsu Industrial Technology International Research Institute announced today that the two Chinese organizations will join the OpenPOWER Foundation. Suzhou Zhongsheng Acer Information Technology Co., Ltd. plans to use the power architecture to provide customized chip design solutions that drive server innovation in areas such as large data, cloud computing, and next-generation data centers.

The OpenPOWER Foundation, an open source development consortium based on the IBM Power microprocessor architecture, is dedicated to building Advanced Server, network, storage, and acceleration technologies designed to provide more choice, greater control and flexibility for the next generation of developers and cloud computing centers. The OpenPOWER Foundation's first open power hardware and software development, while empowering other manufacturers with power intellectual property licenses, has largely expanded the ecosystem of developers on the platform.

Suzhou Sheng Acer Information Technology Co., Ltd. to develop and promote the server's processor products in China market by obtaining the license of IBM Power Architecture, POWER8 related intellectual property and chip design tools. Jiangsu Industrial Technology International Research Institute will help build and promote the power chip development ecosystem in Jiangsu Province and nationwide.

"Suzhou Sheng Acer Information Technology Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Industrial Technology International Research Institute and IBM's cooperation can help China's innovative enterprises to benefit, in China, banking, communications, retail and transport industries are actively using large data and cloud computing to grasp growth opportunities." "IBM is committed to providing more power-based processor solutions for Chinese it users, while implementing new server innovations on the power platform," said Bradley McCredie, vice president of the IBM Academician, systems and technology. ”

Suzhou Sheng Acer Information Technology Co., Ltd. as part of the Jiangsu Information Technology Ecosystem Development Plan, established recently, the company is located in Suzhou National Hi-tech zone, has begun to work closely with China's leading chip design team.

"We are very excited to work with IBM and to bring new innovations to China through the OpenPOWER Foundation," said Zheng, chief executive of Suzhou Sheng Hong Core Information Technology Co., Ltd. This new model of global cooperation among the members will bring more choices and value space for Chinese it users. We believe that the Power platform's many opportunities in China will drive the development of our, IBM, OpenPOWER Foundation and even Jiangsu province as a whole. ”

In May 2013, IBM founded the first power technology based Linux Development Center--power BAE Linux Center in Beijing. With the help of the center, more than 550 new applications based on the power architecture have been developed so far. The Power Architecture server runs many of the world's most popular electric dealers ' websites, and its servers are widely used by many leading large enterprises worldwide.

Founded in August 2013, the OpenPOWER Foundation, which includes IBM, Google, nvidia, Mellanox and Tyanto, aims to create a new, collaborative ecosystem for IBM Power platform developers.
