Chapter 2937

IBM.

When people think about it, they will think that IBM is a company that produces personal computers, and then the company was acquired by L. in fact, the personal computer business is only a small business of IBM. This company is mainly engaged in servers, and has a longer history.

The company first started with the production of paper tape puncher, and then made continuous progress. Moreover, its technology is almost ahead of the whole world. For example, in the era of the cold war, it first built an integrated air defense network for the eagle air force, and almost all its servers are used in banking and other departments.

The most brilliant thing is that in the 1970s, for example, in 1975, the number of computers produced by IBM was four times that of all other computer manufacturers in the world. It has become a joint enterprise integrating scientific research, production, sales, technical service, education and training.

However, in the 1980s, IBM was declining rapidly because of the rise of Hanxin technology company.

In earlier years, there was a big difference between servers and personal computers. This does not mean the shape of the chassis. The most servers are blade servers, which can be directly inserted into the cabinet, or even many. The most important thing is the internal structure.

The server cannot make any mistakes. A mistake may cause great losses to users. For example, can the data of the bank's server be confused? If there is something wrong with the funds deposited by depositors, who will bear the loss?

Therefore, it has many measures. For example, the hard disk for storing data uses a special array form to back up each other. If one hard disk breaks down, it can directly recover data from another hard disk. For example, its memory module should be specially ECC verified to avoid a wrong bit of data during transmission. For example, its motherboard and power supply should ensure absolute stability, Because once this server is powered on, it may not be turned off until the end of its life.

Hanxin technology company suddenly rose and began to build their servers. Soon, it brought a great impact to IBM. At the beginning, IBM was very angry. These laymen actually used the processor of personal computer on the server. The two were originally different.

Yes, in the 1970s and 1980s, the processor of the server was completely different from that of the personal computer, but now, great changes have taken place. The Han people have mixed them up.

Originally, they were angry with ridicule until Hanshin technology company squeezed out their market share with stronger server performance. At that time, they were surprised that the Han people really did it and succeeded?

As a result, IBM can only transform in the midst of difficulties. They began to use Intel's processors as server chips. Sure enough, they found the benefits, which can at least greatly save their R & D costs.

Moreover, another advantage is the distrust of the government.

After all, in the private market, it is no problem to purchase a batch of personal computers with the same high performance at a high price. It is a personal choice. However, it is absolutely impossible for government organs, especially for the army, to allow this kind of market to be opened to foreign companies. The servers of Hanson technology can enter some companies. However, in terms of the government and the army, etc, It is still the world of IBM.

That's all. It's bound to be very difficult for IBM to regain its lost market share. They have no way to treat Hanxin technology company coldly.

Up to now, the government is going to conduct an antitrust investigation on Hanxin technology company, which makes them very happy to see this result.

"Hum, let the Han people know that they can't do whatever they want. We are against trust." a senior executive sneered: "what we suffered in those years, now let Hanxin technology suffer again."

Yes, the IBM company of that year also suffered a lot. The success of IBM in the mid-1960s led the eagle State Ministry of justice to investigate IBM's violation of antitrust. After all, IBM almost monopolized the whole computer airport at that time. The lawsuit claimed that IBM violated the monopoly of Article 2 of the Sherman law or attempted to monopolize the market of general-purpose digital electronic computer systems, especially commercially designed computers. The lawsuit lasted until 1983, when Hanxin technology began to enter the international market, they abandoned the investigation.

The protracted antitrust investigation can be seen. Of course, it is an investigation against their domestic companies. If it is against a foreign company, it will take several months to make a trial.

"However, we got a message that Samsung Electronics began to contract Hansen 3 processor for them, and the production capacity is very high." at this time, someone also said such a message.

Samsung Electronics? IBM has also used Samsung's memory and is very familiar with this company. How can such a company with faith and R & D ability suddenly become a part-time worker?

"Really? What about themselves?" someone asked.

"Their own company may no longer produce Hanxin 3 processor."

"That is to say, they will try their best to produce Hanxin 4 chip?" at this time, a voice with incredible: "in this case, the price of Hanxin 4 chip will also come down?"

The economy of the whole world is in line with the law of the market. When the quantity of a commodity is huge, it will inevitably bring the price of this product down. The relationship between supply and demand in the market determines the price of the product, which is naturally a very normal thing.

"It seems that Hanxin is making a tit for tat layout for our antitrust investigation. What effect does this layout have on us?"

For a company, it is necessary to analyze national policies and how to benefit itself. Now, they vaguely see another business opportunity.

Hanxin technology company doesn't intend to take the high-end route. They are resisting in their own way. This resistance is to distribute goods in large quantities, then lower the market price, and then continue to occupy the eagle market. Even by smuggling, many companies will take risks. After all, Intel is not competitive.

In this way, Intel's intention to strive for more market share after antitrust investigation has become a joke. If you can choose, who won't choose the one with better performance? The price used to be high, but now the price has been reduced. They will naturally choose Hanxin products.

So, what about us?

Even competitors, however, should take advantage of this good opportunity. After all, the performance of Hansen 4 is too powerful, which directly improves the main frequency to 2GHz!

Such high-speed computing capability is quite beneficial to the server. In particular, one chip of others has two cores. It can be said that one chip is enough for the lowest level server.

"We also have to do it. We will develop a super server using Hansen chip 4 as the processor, and then purchase as many chips as we can before the anti-monopoly investigation is pronounced, so as to meet our production needs for at least one or two years!"
