IBM's nine consecutive quarterly decline, HP, Dell has not been out of the transition pains ... This gives domestic server manufacturers to provide a favorable opportunity for development. After Lenovo completed the acquisition of IBM's X86 server transactions, recently, another veteran server manufacturers also riveting full deployment of cloud computing, the first release of the "wave Group Cloud Strategy", the domestic server market pattern change.

Exerting force of domestic manufacturers

In the recently held Inspur World 2014 Congress, Wave Group chairman and CEO Sun Pi first proposed the Sea of clouds strategy. As a result, the wave will shift to cloud computing service providers.

According to the introduction, the wave of clouds strategy includes four major initiatives, namely, Cloud Center, cloud services, cloud security, Cloud partners. In this respect, the wave formulated a "three-step" plan, the first step, the wave of K1 Mainframe, smartrack overall cabinet, the British letter server, as series of storage, Cloud OS and other hardware and software products to help business users complete the cloud. The second step, through the wave of IOP platform to build open large data processing platform, so as to complete data integration. The third step, the wave already has the enterprise ERP system and the government GRP system, will also work with the partner to build more innovative applications.

Talking about the market pattern of domestic servers, Sun Pi said, "The tide is not afraid of any opponents." Among them, in small machine products, the wave has been similar to IBM, in the general server has even surpassed foreign competitors. He said it is expected that by 2015, the wave will also improve its competitiveness through the acquisition plan.

Beijing Business News reporter learned that the current enterprise-Class Server products can be divided into high-end mainframe, minicomputer and low-end general-purpose servers, X86 servers, cloud servers and so on. Most of the core business of domestic manufacturers concentrated in the latter, and in the competition with international manufacturers gradually advantages, while in the high-end market, is still mainly based on IBM's international brand Monopoly market, the domestic only wave has its own small machine products.

Not long ago, with the acquisition of IBM X86 Server, Lenovo also began to add to the domestic server market, want to occupy a place.

Foreign Giants ' collective resistance

Wave, Lenovo and other domestic manufacturers competing for the force behind, is IBM, HP, Dell and other foreign giants encounter internal and external difficulties, into the throes of restructuring adjustment, this gives domestic manufacturers to provide a running catch-up opportunity.

Among them, IBM's recent earnings continued poor, revenue nine consecutive quarterly decline in the trend, for this reason, the gradual stripping of IBM restructuring business, the beginning of this year to X86 server business to Lenovo, and recently 1.5 billion U.S. dollars to the chip manufacturing business dumped to the competitor global foundries Company.

Internal there are aggression, the domestic "to IoE (that is, the abandonment of the IBM server, Oracle database, EMC storage devices)" The growing voice, coupled with the country's information security strategy to enhance the importance of IBM's related business in the domestic market has been hit.

With the exception of IBM, HP, Dell, the two PC vendors that are transforming into IT service solution providers, are having a hard time. Earlier this month, Hewlett-Packard announced that it would split the company into one, and that the spin-off business was still underway, and that Dell had been privatized for more than a year and that the results were not yet apparent.

This shows that the foreign brand collective resistance, domestic manufacturers ushered in the opportunity for development. At the same time, the continuous impact of the "Prism Gate" event, the state's attention to the information industry is increasing, especially the information security rise to strategic position. Informatization is not only about one enterprise, one industry, but also the important content of national comprehensive strength. In the global environment and domestic policies favorable circumstances, domestic manufacturers should grasp fighter jets, speed up technology and equipment innovation upgrades.

High-end short board to be padded

From Gartner and other Third-party research institutions of data, Lenovo, wave and other domestic manufacturers of equipment sales and market share of the rising state. However, some observers pointed out that domestic manufacturers should not be overly optimistic, and foreign giants still exist a certain gap, especially high-end server areas, domestic manufacturers still need to work hard.

At present in the low-end of the general server domain, domestic manufacturers can be said to be fully mastered the technology, but in the high-end server market, domestic manufacturers still difficult to shake the foreign giants.

One industry expert said that if not able to occupy a certain market share in high-end server areas, only to meet the needs of low-end server users, it is difficult to get rid of the constraints, but also directly affect the implementation of national information security strategy.

From this perspective, how to break the domestic high-end server market, still domestic manufacturers have failed to solve the problem, high-end server technology threshold is higher, which requires domestic manufacturers to increase their independent innovation capacity, speed to hardware equipment + solution mode transformation of the pace, to achieve the reverse attack the dream of foreign giants.
