/ Asahi/Guangzhou, February 14, 2022 -- Gartner released the Hype Cycle for Cloud Computing (Cloud Computing Technology Maturity Curve Report). Cloud computing, as the current mainstream computing model, is the basis of IT as a service delivery. The report analyzes the cloud technologies that are currently the main applications in the industry and the innovative technology directions that are emerging to meet the future needs, so as to help users understand the maturity cycle of different technologies and provide more references for the development of the cloud computing industry. In terms of hardware, Gartner points out that cloud-optimized hardware innovations for large-scale cloud data centers are developing and will enter large-scale mature applications in the next two to five years. Four vendors, Inspur Information and AWS, are recommended by Gartner as Cloud-Optimized Hardware benchmark.
With the outbreak of digital technology and business demand driven by the pandemic, cloud computing benefits from its agile and flexible advantages, pushing the ultra-large scale cloud services to the limit. In the infrastructure space, the Gartner report notes that ultra-large cloud service providers need more agile and innovative products and services to reduce energy consumption and operating costs in data centers, as well as more optimization for specific workloads. Currently, large-scale cloud service providers are working with equipment vendors to adopt cloud-optimized hardware devices, and more and more enterprise IT is also starting to use cloud-optimized hardware in their large-scale data centers.
These cloud optimized hardware include servers, networking, storage, and custom chips. On the server side, cloud-optimized rack and server designs can reduce power consumption based on load, simplify physical installation and increase delivery speed, Gartner noted. For example, the Open computing project (OCP) in which Inspur Information, Meta and others participated continuously defined the whole cabinet server standard for data centers. According to the data, after using the cloud optimized open computing whole cabinet, Inspur Information achieved 30% power saving, 90% system failure rate reduction, 33% investment return increase, and more than 3 times operation and maintenance efficiency With a delivery rate of up to 10,000 units per day. At present, Internet companies representing the highest development level of data centers, such as Meta and Microsoft, have applied open computing technology on a large scale, and leading enterprises in key industries such as communications, finance and energy have also joined open computing organizations and put it into practice in the construction of data centers.
As the only member of three open computing organizations (OCP, ODCC and Open19) in the world, Inspur aims to join the upstream and downstream industries to explore innovative solutions for the sustainable development of large-scale data center infrastructure through open computing, a global collaborative innovation mode. High-speed network communication, intelligent operation and maintenance.
Thanks to its significant contributions to the Open Computing Organization, Inspur has been the Gartner cloud-optimized hardware benchmark for two consecutive years and continues to grow its market share. Gartner has released its global server market data for Q3 2021. Inspur Information retained the second place in the world with a market share of 11.3%. Its global business grew rapidly and its market share in many industries continued to increase.
