x86 server market Industry customization is the way to win

"Tenkine Server channel comment" Lenovo eventually put IBM's x86 server business revenue in the bag, that x86 server market in the future can only be a loss to make a yell? In the author's opinion, x86 server if just as a general-purpose server to do the future must be dead, tailored to specific industries of the server is the key to win the market.

In fact, IBM's financial results we can see that the current x86 server market has entered the product recession, homogenization is very serious. Server manufacturers through the price war to fight is the volume of shipments, but now the manufacturer I am afraid even the volume of shipments are difficult to guarantee. The reason is the popularity of cloud computing model, the demand for server procurement is a downward trend. And the Internet provider's data center in the cost of consideration began to design and ODM to purchase the server, which is the most representative of Google. Http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/1560.html ">facebook led the formation of the OCP organization, proposed the Internet server design standards, through standardized module settings, Internet providers can assemble servers by purchasing their own hardware.

Corresponding to foreign countries, the domestic internet giants have also formed a similar standard organization. This is not good news for traditional servers, but it may not be a bad thing to look at in other ways. Traditional server vendors can tailor their production to these standards, which may not be a way to gain market share. Domestic server manufacturers have started to act.

Lenovo offers a variety of Thinkserver servers for the IPDC industry for Internet providers. Wave also for the internet industry launched a smartrack server, and Smartrack machine cabinet server has been in the Baidu Inner Mongolia Data Center deployment completed. Industry customization is the biggest feature of the future server market, followed by the optimization of market segments. For example, 2013 micro-server became a hotspot in the server market, as well as High-temperature server.

The change in the PC market is actually a lesson to the server, we look at the decline of the PC market is too generic, can not provide personalized products, the result of mobile terminals to the PC market squeeze has no living space. Now the PC manufacturers began to change the introduction of ultra-polar and two-in-oneness equipment, server manufacturers should be inspired. The server for the common scenario has not much room to live, only the server market for the feature production environment can win the market.
