In recent years, domestic high-end server to server vendors frequently market impact has not shaken the foreign server, the Big Three's dominance.
But with the steady growth of domestic demand for high-end market, high-end server architecture to an open technological changes, the situation is expected to be exceeded in 2006.
Open-end barrier was washed
According to relevant statistics, in 2005 the domestic sales of high-end server market accounted for 11.04% of sales, its sales accounted for about one-third of total sales.In 2006, the domestic high-end server market in the telecommunications, finance and other industries to promote effective demand, will continue to have greater growth, the market entered a stable growth stage.
Currently, the market has formed a high-end Itanium to gradually replace the RISC-based situation.Itanium for domestic manufacturers rushed to open the high-end server market, high barriers to the formation of RISC architecture, contributed to reshuffle the domestic server market.New platform, the new starting point, ushered in a domestic server vendors out of the old pattern of high-end competition for the rare opportunity.
Into high-end eco-chain
In 2006, as domestic manufacturers compete for high-end server market breakthrough action, Pao and the French Bull "married."Proudly market feedback information, it also shows a good start this cooperation.The two sides to launch a 8-32 road PowerScale5000, 6000 series high-end SMP servers.
"Marriage" is only the first step in Pao-chi high-end development effort.To really break the deadlock in the high-end long been monopolized, industry standards must be applied to the channel to promote win-win and so go hand in hand, the real integration into the high-end eco-chain.Proudly Group President Ruijie gave away the secret: "Now Proudly chess is in the next." In 2006, Pao joined the ISA (the Itanium Solutions Alliance) international organizations, to become the only region of the local organizationserver vendors to participate in developing and promoting industry standards.
Eliminate the "three high disease"
In the Chinese market, the high-end servers should be monopolized by foreign companies, 4% to 5% of its sales were accounted for nearly 50% of the market sales.And its products using proprietary architecture and more, resulting in a "three-high disease", namely high cost, high maintenance, high risk.If the domestic professional server vendors to break the monopoly of international brands, product price and maintenance costs will be substantially down, open system architecture to bring better choice.
But the industry pointed out that domestic high-end server in addition to technical barriers faced by reversing the past caused by the high-end users of the difficulties of state-owned brand of prejudice, but also must provide to meet the real needs of the user's overall solution and applications.
It is understood that, as a member of ISA, Pao and operating systems, middleware, database and other software vendors work closely to launch a series of key industry application solutions.At the same time, Prudential has established a strong support system of experts to help customers deploy their critical applications and high performance computing (HPC) applications.
