Global monopoly of technology

The underwater data center in Qinghai Lake at the bottom of the sink will not start construction until 2015 according to the layout sequence of the "Kunpeng Plan", with an investment budget of 4.1 billion yuan, ranking last among the four underwater data center construction plans in the first phase Of one.

One is the problem of demand. The country’s large western region is open, but the population and demand are actually very limited. On the one hand, the delay in construction is to wait for the further development of the western region’s economy and further increase in demand before providing corresponding cloud services. .

On the other hand, the development of coastal areas is extremely rapid, and the demand is also rising rapidly. Naturally, investment and construction are given priority.

The change in the sequence is also an optimization method to save investment costs. After all, this is a very large investment.

From the perspective of investment and construction costs, it is more expensive to build a large submarine data center than land, and the life expectancy is only about 5 years.

But this is only one aspect. First of all, the current high budget cost is largely due to the fact that Wah is a server that accounts for a large proportion. The technology is not the most advanced, and the cost is also expensive.

However, this also shows that the current high cost does not mean the future. The future submarine data center has great cost-saving space, especially the saving of energy consumption costs. The high electricity consumption of the data center is scary, and the "Kunpeng Project" creates submarine data. The biggest vision of the center is to facilitate the use of natural renewable energy to form a cycle. In five years, a data center can save more than one billion in electricity costs.

It also saves on land costs, and at the same time can provide customers with better cloud computing solutions, thereby gaining higher international competitiveness.

Whether this transaction is to make a profit or to lose money, the large group has naturally undergone strict argumentation, and no one will do a loss-making transaction.

Luo Sheng has never been a person doing short-term deployment.

...

There were no moths on the Qinghai Lake inspection team for the last three days. Everything went well. People from the Geological Bureau visited again, hoping to share a copy of the data, but the team leader decisively refused.

He really does not have the right to decide. This is precious data obtained by the company's budget of nearly 30 million yuan and has the right to refuse.

Although the other party expressed regret, it did not cause any trouble. The local area attached great importance to this because it could not afford the consequences. Bluestar Technology wants to invest in high-tech industries on a large scale here, and it is warmly welcome wherever it is changed.

To scare away such a large-scale technology conglomerate, the lungs may blow up.

Time flies, and the world officially enters 2012. This year is more special than in previous years. Various doomsday theories are on the rise. It must be said that the Hollywood disaster film "2012" released in 2009 has contributed a lot.

However, the days are still going to pass. After the New Year's Day, Bluestar Technology + Cote d'Azur organized the annual grand annual meeting carnival, and other companies have successively held their own annual meeting activities.

However, there is no joint annual meeting of Bluestar Technology + Côte d'Azur that has attracted attention, and it is praised by domestic netizens as the most international annual meeting.

Today, this strong corporate culture is no longer confined to the inside of the company. It has already radiated outside the company. Netizens who eat melons across the country and even the world will be onlookers, and it will be a hot topic for a period of time.

...

On January 10, 2012, the semiconductor industry focused on the new product launch conference held by Lens Semiconductor today.

The technology community and the media have attracted much attention.

At the press conference, Luo Sheng was on the list, sitting in the chief position. His appearance was naturally the focus of the audience. This was the second time he appeared in public view during the new year except the annual meeting.

However, today's protagonist is not Luo Sheng, he also came here as a guest.

Sitting next to him were executives from Huawei and a global vice president of Arm. There were about 1,800 people at the press conference.

The Silicon Valley technology circle also attaches great importance to Lens Semiconductor's conference.

"First of all, I want to announce the first good news. Lens Semiconductor has signed a permanent license for the ARM-v8 architecture with Arm. This is the first milestone." Xu Zhijun, who hosted the press conference on the stage, said vigorously.

The cooperation agreement with Arm was reached very smoothly and efficiently. Two months ago, in November 2011, Arm released some technical details of the latest generation processor architecture ARM-v8. This is Arm. The first processor architecture to support a 64-bit instruction set.

The ability to sign orders so quickly is still inseparable from the FinFET process technology mastered by Lens Semiconductor. It is precisely because of mastering this key core technology that it has today's bargaining power and negotiation power.

"Our years of multi-node cooperation with ARM will continue to provide advanced and high-quality technologies to realize market-leading SoC applications in mobile, server and enterprise infrastructure, and promote the innovative semiconductor design industry."

Luo Sheng was a quiet audience with great interest, and he was happy when he watched the sincere Xu Zhijun on the stage.

Some people have misunderstood their cooperation with Arm on the surface, and are already working on their own instruction set behind the scenes.

Immediately afterwards, Old Xu went straight to the topic: "Today we will release the second-generation server chip'Kunpeng 0611'. The implementation of this Arm-based processor paves the way for us to make full use of 45-nanometers for our common customers. The optimized performance and power efficiency of FinFET process technology, and the joint efforts of ARM and Xiongxin Electronics’ OPI design ecosystem partners have proved their firm commitment to provide customers with high-quality technologies in the industry."

With Xu Zhijun's in-depth introduction of "Kunpeng 0611", people in the industry were surprised. Although it is not the first-class level in the industry, the advanced technology gap with IBM and other established server manufacturers has been shortened to two or even one generation in such a short time. Half the gap.

It is important to know that Huawei’s server department has always been regarded as an edge business, not a core position. It was only planned to enter this field in 2004. 2006 was a turning point. Luo Sheng’s deployment of cloud computing in this year gave Huawei’s server department the rise Opportunity, in the most difficult time, won a valuable order from Bluestar Technology Group.

At that time, only Luo Sheng would buy this rotten and expensive product.

But until now, the server department of Huawei has only gone for seven years.

And what about the "master" of Huawei, who is known as the "blue giant"?Founded in 1911, it is the world's largest information technology and business solutions company with 310,000 employees worldwide and operations in more than 160 countries and regions.

The growth rate of this "student" surprised IBM. If this goes on, it may happen that the church apprentices and the masters starve to death.

At the end of the conference, Xu Zhijun announced the last big news: "I am very happy and honored to announce that the server based on the Kunpeng 0611 processor has ushered in the first and most important customer partner, Bluestar Technology Group. ."

The audience at the scene looked sideways, and a large number of media shots also focused on Luo Sheng who was present at the meeting.

Xu Zhijun, who hosted the press conference on the stage, said with a bright smile: "Our server business would not be today without the strong support of Bluestar Technology, and we will continue to support us as always. We cherish such partners. The second generation server chip is named 'Kunpeng' presumably many people have thought of Bluestar Technology's'Kunpeng Project' submarine data center project."

"Yes, our second-generation server will be used in submarine data centers to provide our technical solutions for the Bluestar Technology Group's cloud computing service strategy."

As soon as this remark came out, the industry insiders were all moved.

what?

Is it to provide technical solutions for the "Kunpeng Project" of Bluestar Technology?

International friends and businessmen were shocked when they heard the news clearly from Xu Zhijun's mouth, and soon couldn't calm down.

Has Bluestar Technology’s submarine data center put commercial plans on its schedule?

Shet!

When Luo Sheng was interviewed by the media last year, he also vowed to say that he had no commercial idea. This liar was indeed a smoke bomb against the outside world!

In fact, few colleagues would trust Luo Sheng's remarks in the interview too much, at most half of them. At the same time, they also believed that Bluestar Technology should not be able to enter the commercial stage so soon.

However, the facts tell everyone that Bluestar Technology's R&D output efficiency is so terrifying.
