Chapter 986 Battle of Chips·Treasure Technology [seeking subscription]

When it comes to hard disk storage technology, the most authoritative expert of Yiming Group is Lin Zhengxue, and the chief authority in China is also Lin Zhengxue.

Therefore, when Xu Zhenming proposed hard disk technology as the three major tasks of Yiming Group, Lin Zhengxue picked up the microphone and stood up to respond, "Xu Dong, our team will definitely complete the R&D tasks assigned by the group company on time. However, IBM hard disks The technology has fallen behind, what good technology do they have now?"

According to Lin Zhengxue's understanding, Yiming Group has overcome GMR giant magnetoresistance effect head technology, and the storage capacity of a single hard disk has reached 5GB.Their team is working on the storage technology of a single disk 10GB, which is not lagging behind in the world.

At the same time, Seagate and Hitachi are currently gaining momentum in the global data storage industry.Although IBM is the inventor of hard disk storage, its focus is long gone.Even if they have good technology, they will not be applied to the actual production process. The technical team has already lost motivation, what else can they do?

While Lin Zhengxue was surprised, the picture on the big projection screen had changed, and the picture being displayed was a silver hard disk storage disc.At the same time, Xu Zhenming turned his head back, smiling and pointing at the projection screen.

"This is the aluminum hard disk disk just made by the Blue Giant Storage Lab. The storage capacity of a single disk has exceeded 10.4GB, the hard disk read and write speed has increased by five times, and SCSI chips are being developed to support it."

"These idiots are actually not optimistic about this technology. So, I took this technology with the least cost. Hehehe..."

Xu Zhenming smiled triumphantly and explained the reason why IBM gave up the technology.

The U.S. data storage industry is very competitive, and Seagate is working on a glass storage disc technology with a speed of up to 15,000 RPM.As a result, Seagate’s hard disks have thrown away IBM hard disks in terms of read speed.

Therefore, how can the Blue Giant’s laboratory allow this to happen, abandon the aluminum hard disks that are about to succeed, and it is said that they have to develop a technology called "Xian Chen" and prepare to make a fuss on the single-disk storage disk , Use storage capacity to counter Seagate's read speed.

At the same time, Hitachi is still developing their vertical recording technology. The scientific research idea is the same as that of IBM, and it wants to achieve technological breakthroughs in storage capacity.

"Ah? Seagate has already produced glass storage discs? Hey..." After hearing Xu Zhenming's introduction, Lin Zhengxue patted his thigh with regret.

At one time, one of his engineers proposed to use composite glass materials for hard disk storage discs.This kind of disc has stable running performance, high-speed rotation is particularly smooth, and no problems were found during experiments.

But Lin Zhengxue always felt that this material was unreliable and easy to break, so he didn't dig deeper.

And now, Seagate has actually locked this material.This kind of thing is a loss, and Yiming Group has missed an opportunity to surpass the Americans.

"Hahaha... it's good to give up!" At this time, Xu Zhenming on the rostrum burst into laughter.

In Lin Zhengxue's stunned gaze, he waved to the next stage, "I don't think it is suitable to use composite glass materials for storage discs. It is the right way for IBM to make this kind of aluminum discs!"

Xu Zhenming very arbitrarily believes that glass storage discs have no future and that there will be accidents of hard disk fragmentation in the future.By then, the reputation of Seagate Data will be greatly damaged.

"Dear colleagues, what is a hard disk? It is the brain storage space of a computer. The speed can be slower, but it must be safe and data cannot be lost!"

Xu Zhenming believes that the big data computing center must first store data absolutely securely, and then solve the problem of data reading speed.Therefore, the hard disk technology of Yiming Group should adopt the aluminum hard disk storage discs abandoned by IBM, and at the same time develop SCSI communication chips to improve data reading speed.

"As for the increase in the speed of the hard disk, we can take it step by step. This technology has a lot to do with mechanical technology and motor technology. It is useless for us to worry. However, I think we can achieve 15000RPM speed technology sooner or later."

Mr. Xu Zhenming is here to point out the development direction of hard disk storage technology of Yiming Group.As a rebirth person, he knew that Seagate Data would succumb to the project of glass disc hard drives. Of course, Yiming Group could not repeat the same mistakes.

Therefore, the next goal of the Lin Zhengxue team is to realize the aluminum hard disk technology and expand the storage space of a single disk to 10.4GB.This is not a small technological breakthrough. Once the goal is achieved, the storage space of a single hard disk can reach 50GB.

Is this okay?

As long as this technology is used, the storage space of the Galaxy III supercomputer can instantly be doubled.The big data center to be built by Yiming Group can be upgraded to another level.

"Wow..." After hearing Xu Zhenming's introduction, applause suddenly burst from the podium.

When Xu Zhenming turned his head, Lin Zhengxue also smiled and patted his chest to promise, "Xu Dong, please rest assured, we will immediately organize elite troops to conquer aluminum hard disk technology and SCSI communication chip technology in the future."

"This idea is necessary. Our group company is not the blue giant, and the vision will not be so short-sighted. They don't want to spend money to experiment, we are willing to spend money to burn, we must make a single 10G hard drive. Not only that, We can also make a 50G hard drive into a civilian version for the PC computer market."

Xu Zhenming promised with full confidence that he would allocate 500 million R&D funds to Lin Zhengxue's team to first build a series of TG-level server hard disk storage units.

After arranging this major R&D task, Xu Zhenming asked Lin Zhengxue's team to immediately increase the manufacturing speed of server hard disks to prepare the company for mass production of Galaxy III supercomputers by Yiming Group.

"Um? Has our company already received a large order for the Galaxy III supercomputer?"

"The Galaxy III supercomputer is an invention patent of the National Defense University Computer Research Institute, and the intellectual property rights belong to the National Defense University Computer Research Institute. Even if we can receive a large order, we must be authorized to produce it."

"This thing... is a bit strange!"

After hearing Xu Zhenming's speech, the employees under the rostrum were very surprised.

Even Lin Zhengxue, who just sat down, thought so, looking at Xu Zhenming on the rostrum with a dazed expression, "The price of a Galaxy III supercomputer is more than 150 million yuan, and several other companies in China can Affordable? How could Xu Dong give this order?"

On the rostrum, Xu Zhenming looked at all the employees under the stands and glanced around.

"Dear colleagues, with the global promotion of big data systems, our country’s Galaxy III supercomputer will go abroad, and it is conservatively estimated that at least 30 units will be sold. Only the computer centers established by our group companies around the world are also Will purchase 6 to 8 units."

Subsequently, Xu Zhenming announced an important piece of good news at the meeting: He has reached an oral agreement with Professor Long of the National Defense University Computer Research Institute, and Yiming Group will soon obtain a production license for the Galaxy III supercomputer.

Not only that, Yiming Group will also cooperate with Professor Long's team to prepare a project to develop the Galaxy IV supercomputer, and strive to occupy the first place in the world's supercomputer again!
