How large is the amount of data produced by Hou Yin on earth every day? Figuratively speaking, every 18 months can be comparable to the distance between Earth and Pluto data accumulation. Data has also become the core content of enterprise competitiveness. As the "factory" of data centralized processing-server, its competition degree is not inferior to the Internet. China's server industry started late, technology is relatively backward, in the 90 's, this field is almost completely monopolized by foreign manufacturers. Especially in the high-end market which carries the key business, the international brand once has the dominant advantage. From the initial to follow, to do OEM (licensing), and now have their own brands, "a foothold in China, overseas", the development of domestic servers in the quiet work in the meditation and practice the way of survival. Comparative advantage "water flow because of the ground, the soldiers win because of the enemy." So the army is impermanent, the water is impermanent. The winner of the enemy's change is God. "Grandson's wisdom is equally effective in the domestic server market. Data show that the Chinese server market (including x86 servers and x86 servers) reached $2.62 billion trillion in the third quarter of 2009, up 2.4% from a year earlier. The first three quarters of the x86 architecture server market size of 1.32 billion U.S. dollars, year-on-year growth in the first three quarters-1.3%. Non-x86 servers reached 1.3 billion U.S. dollars in the three quarter of 2009 years ago, up 6.4% per cent in the first three quarters of last year. The server market mainly divides into the X86 and the X86 two main categories. The former was dominated by IBM, HP and the Sun's three giants, which were bought by Oracle. According to IDC 2009 in the first half of the data show, whether it is shipments or market value, the total market share of these three are more than 97%. Telecom's investment drive helps the UNIX server consolidate its position in the high-end application market. "Because telecom operators want to build a base station, to buy a lot of network equipment and servers, and 3G built, wireless applications also need more investment." "Internet age, video sharing, online games, animation rendering, search engines and other rich Internet applications to X86 server has brought huge market opportunities." In fact, telecoms and the Internet are also the fastest growing areas of the server market. "Online gaming is almost half the market for servers," he said. Online games are large number of people, for data processing capacity requirements higher. "IDC China Enterprise class system and software Research Department research manager 周震刚 to" internet weekly "said. And the video industry because of the demand for storage space growth quickly, on the one hand, to do some video sites such as reading and writing IO optimization, and so on. In addition, domestic server manufacturers with foreign people do not have the unique advantages. The first is the price advantage. Compared with foreign manufacturers, domestic server prices are relatively low. "The technical skills of the Internet companies are strong, and many companies even develop their own operating systems on open source Linux." Do not need a provider to provide much good service, the pursuit of the lowest price and higher reliability. 周震刚 said, however, the Internet area is lower than the average profit margin, to expand enough market share to have a comparative advantage, only high shipments, production costs can be relatively low. Second, domestic manufacturers closer to the market, rapid response. They can quickly adjust the program to provide customizable products, at the same time, domestic manufacturers more attention to the Government and education, it is because the government's branches are many, foreign manufacturers can not penetrate the county-level county, the domestic wave, the dawn, Lenovo and so are able to penetrate. Domestic server manufacturers can explore the market tentacles of small enterprises, while foreign manufacturers are mainly concentrated in telecommunications operators and large enterprises such as PetroChina. Server market has never "ceiling", unwilling to downstream domestic manufacturers began to advance high-end. Wave at the high-end product level formed 8 Road, 16 Road, 32 Road, 64 road four series of products planning. 8 Road products will be developed and released in the first half of 2010. The 32-way products will be developed and released at the end of 2010, and will be tested in the midst of major, focused customers, and 64-way products are to be developed from 2010 onwards. Soft and soft Oracle 7.4 billion dollar acquisition sun, Hewlett-Packard 3.7 billion dollar acquisition 3Com, the traditional enterprise-class manufacturers are trying to make themselves into an aircraft carrier. IBM and HP have successfully integrated the hardware software and services in the long product line, Dell stressed the determination to transition to the overall solution, and its newly established service department has further enhanced its role in the acquisition of BearingPoint China Consulting business, and officially launched a service war to enter China. "End users don't really care about the technical details of the server, they care about how to achieve business and cost savings." "IDC analysts told our correspondent that" the role of server vendors from hardware providers to the overall solution provider is not nearly one or two years, and this trend is related to the profitability of the server, especially the net profit margin of the x86 server. In this case, it is necessary to replenish profits by adding value. As a result, many large manufacturers have been the past independent server, storage, software departments completely disrupted, into an industry solution model. "The Wave group chairman Sun Pi has" become China's largest software and hardware integration of IT service provider "as the company's future goals." "IBM, HP, Oracle Three can represent a global industry trend." I personally think that the IBM model is more worthy of our learning. We feel that doing IT services is more promising, one is because the customer binding, to provide customers with comprehensive solutions and IT services, customer understanding will be more and more in-depth, customers are not willing to frequently change suppliers, enterprise sustainability is good. On the other hand, it services have a high profit margin. "From a longer-term perspective, the server industry is maturing and the scale effect is more prominent, so it is a trend for server vendors to switch to solution providers," he said. Founder for thisKind of trend is more convinced. "From the perspective of domestic and international industrial development, if the application model of cloud computing opportunities for change, China's enterprises do not seize the opportunity for such a change, it is likely to be behind for a long time again dragged away." This is a very sad thing. "The company said that in the cloud computing research, applications, including industrialization, China's enterprises are not dominant, so must seize the opportunity to avoid future passivity." "In terms of cloud computing, the dawning future hopes to provide a complete solution to the design, construction, and operation of the entire cloud computing center, because the dawn is now in addition to the application, under the application, excluding those special middleware, we have a lot of our own technology underneath that layer, How to bring the efficiency of the cloud computing center higher, like the server more efficient, more power saving, lower operating costs, in this regard we have accumulated a lot of experience, this is our future direction. "The army said," through the breakthrough of a number of management technology, so that we launch the entire product line becomes possible, next we will do Tower server, do High-tech computer firewall, we do 4 road to do 8, rack to tower, from the firewall to the server, do a good technical reserve. Compared to the "independent Road", a few international enterprises, one is a relatively large brand influence, the 2nd is the industry's understanding and accumulation of richer. At present, domestic brands have done very well, they start from the local area, and then slowly refinement, the market to do more solid. In the long run, local brands have begun to focus on customer needs in the past two years, and then make differentiated products. "Yan said. First of all, foreign server manufacturers control the process very closely, for different mainstream software for different certification, and from the hardware, the international manufacturers from hardware to production, many are done in Taiwan, rely on this research and development process to control and production. "Glass House" experience has been a generation of computer workers in the heart Forever "pain", despite the rapid development of China's high-performance industry, but the lack of independent intellectual property rights of the CPU products have made China in the CPU technology market with foreign enterprise giants have an insurmountable technology gap. Although most of the domestic server manufacturers are "technology industry and trade" model started, but in the face of foreign market encroachment, but also continue to add technical input, godson is a microcosm. "First godson blade server, is the first SMP structure, based on the server System godson, godson in my opinion, the most important thing is that it is our first to release the SMP structure of the machine, that is, there are two processors." Past godson products, including godson notebook, firewall, are a processor. Second, it has epoch-making significance because our country's IT industry in the past based on foreign vendor processors, the core technology has no processor. Now we have a choice, this is critical. "The Calendar Army thinks, now godson blade from the performance can not be with AMD and the BritishTurley compared to, "but we have their own characteristics, we have to make the blade, we meet the specific needs of certain industries, the autonomy is money can not change." Third, the godson is characterized by a low power consumption, in 15 watts/core, we now see the x86 CPU, according to 80 watts an average, is 4-6 core, for energy-saving emission reduction, we do green calculation, this power consumption is very critical. "Godson 3 a Blade Let calendar army to see as upstream and downstream industry chain important one of the confidence, he said," in the development of godson and the promotion of the process we hope to be able to form a domestic independent technology industry chain, this industry chain is very important, because now any one enterprise can not be covered by the entire industrial chain, So there must be the support of partners, we find in the domestic operating system in the security, in the database of the enterprise, of course, are autonomous, will everyone come together to do this thing. "Godson did ten years, the whole industry chain built very hard, Dawn joined in, because there is the Dawn godson Blade Server This platform, only the server's operating system, only the people's Congress of the Gold Warehouse database, network security software, these things will be possible in our program, it is possible to do cloud computing. "The army said. Obviously, the godson's symbolic meaning is bigger. It marks a shocking change in the national server. There is analysis that, if the Chinese processor to become mainstream, it is necessary to move the godson laboratory from the field of scientific research to the commercial field, to accept the market experience and testing. For domestic servers, too.
