Chapter 149: Blade Server Release on
Ling Shizhe has lived in Canada for a long time, and this is his second long-term residence in Canada since 70 years. ¤Top¤Dot¤Small¤ said,
Ling Shizhe was very busy, not only did he personally participate in the performance testing of the blade server, but also wrote software and fixed various bugs with programmers, and in the afternoon, he had to find time to discuss with Allison, Foster and others how to open up the blade server.
Each discussion is time-consuming, and the technical openness associated with blade servers is much more complex than the previous technological openness of computer cameras and scientific function calculators.
Everything has to be taken into account, and the plan must not be too rigid, and there must be a certain amount of flexibility, plus various backup plans to prevent all kinds of unexpected situations, which add up to boring and annoying.
Fortunately, Ambrera has accumulated a wealth of experience in the technology of opening up computer cameras and scientific function calculators, otherwise everyone would be blind if such a complex system was opened up directly.
The open idea proposed by Ling Shizhe is the Intel model of later generations.
Before Intel's involvement in mainframes, all computer companies around the world were operating in closed mainframe computers.
The characteristic of this model is that the mainframes produced by this company cannot be used with the mainframes produced by other companies, and the software cannot be used universally.
It wasn't until Intel got involved that they changed this model, and they put forward the idea of open servers, and opened up their own server architecture and technology to the world, which led to the vigorous development of the world's mainframe industry.
China is the world's largest demand for large servers, and the annual demand for large servers is more than the combined demand of the United States and the European Union (there is no way to have too many people), before the arrival of open servers, developed countries have been embargoing on mainframes to China, until the emergence of Intel development servers, which finally broke the ban.
It was at that time that Intel established its dominance as the world's largest semiconductor.
I'll open up the mainframe technology to you for free, you can produce it yourself, I just sell the CPU, this is Intel's global semiconductor hegemony strategy back then.
This strategy has been recorded as a classic case in MBA business schools in later generations.
The creator of the open server is none other than Andy Grove, who sat opposite Ling Shizhe, who first proposed the idea of open server in history, and it was he who first promoted the open server to the market and finally changed the world.
Whenever people in later generations talk about Andy Grove, they will always say that without Andy Grove, there would be no global Internet now.
The Internet is extremely dependent on servers, and the role of servers in the Internet is similar to that of telephone exchanges. Servers are also needed for corporate intranets; Online games are inseparable from servers; E-commerce is inseparable from servers, in short, the position of servers in the Internet is irreplaceable, which shows how great Andy Grove's contribution to the Internet is.
Reborn into a new time and space, the idea of an open server was first mentioned by Ling Shizhe, but it did not hinder Andy Grove's ingenuity, he immediately realized the huge business opportunities contained in it, and made a lot of valuable suggestions to Ling Shizhe and others, and everyone present was impressed by him.
Looking at Andy Grove who was talking eloquently in the center of the venue, the people around him applauded his wonderful speech from time to time, and everyone was happy with his various wonderful ideas, Allison turned to Ling Shizhe and said with emotion: "He is a good young man, he deserves a higher position to play his talent." ”
Ling Shizhe thought to himself, of course it's good, this plan was the first one he proposed in history, and I just robbed him of his results.
"Alison, he is Foster's future successor, I plan to give him an equity incentive, what do you think?"
Alison nodded and said, "Such a good young man must stay in the company, allotment is due, boss, how about giving him 0.25% of the shares?" ”
"I agree." 0.25% is already very high, now is not the beginning of Ambrera's business, now she is already a large international company with global marketing of more than 10 billion US dollars, 0.38% is already considerable, if the blade server can be as successful as in the previous life, it is not impossible for Ambrella's business to rise to 20 billion or 30 billion US dollars per year in the future, don't forget that Ling Shizhe still holds PC computers, game consoles, operating systems, database application software, spreadsheets, solid state drives, floppy drives, digital cameras, LCD monitors and other gold-absorbing tools.
Once these things are released from the market in a planned way, what will Ambrera swell into, Ling Shizhe himself doesn't know, think about the Oracle company in his previous life, just by virtue of the database, it has developed into a super large company with a market value of up to 150 billion US dollars, Nvidia or ATI graphics card companies have a market value of tens of billions of dollars, Microsoft is even more terrifying, with a market value of more than 3,000 US dollars, these gold-absorbing weapons are now all concentrated in Ling Shizhe's hands, 0.25%, and definitely not bad to Andy Grove.
"Alison, when the blade server is successfully opened to the market, it is time for us to start Ambrera's go-to-market plan."
"Do you have any plans, boss?"
"Hong Kong's economy is growing rapidly, and although he is now suffering a very serious stock market crash, I am now able to recover quickly, and in the future she will become the world's third largest financial center after Wall Street and London. I don't think we need to go near and far, just list in Hong Kong, what about AB shares. ”
"It's a good idea, the A shares are in our hands, and the B shares are given to those financial vampires, so that they don't cause trouble for the company." Alison agreed.
"Okay, then it's decided." After discussing the future listing plan with Alison, Ling Shizhe threw himself into the discussion of the blade plan.
After more than a month of back-and-forth discussions, the master plan for the open technology of the blade server was finally determined, and the rest of the specific details will be completed by the following people.
Three months later, all the planning plans were completed, and the countdown to the launch of the blades began.
In October of '73, the graphical operating system of the blade server was completed, and several software such as Oracle and Server were also developed, and the blade server began to prepare for the market.
Ambrera sent invitations to a number of third-party manufacturers and announced to the media that it would hold a new product launch on October 20, and a new type of revolutionary calculator was born.
The media in the United States and the computer circles in the United States have shown great interest in the revolutionary computer proposed by the Ambrai Company, and they have inquired about what this revolutionary new computer is, but after inquiring for a long time, they have not received any relevant information, and the Ambrela Company is too strict about the secrecy of the new computer.
Journalists who can't find any news can only wait until October 20, when the truth will be revealed.
