> "Thank you so much Mr. Zhang, by the way, what is your bank account number?" ”

"What do you want your bank account for?"

Zhang Ning was a little strange.

"We've already hired your proposal, so we need to raise money for you."

"Oh, I see."

Zhang Ning patted his head, he just wanted the rent over there to rise, and he didn't think about whether he wanted money to write this plan.

But I didn't think that the rent on that side has not risen yet, and the cost of the program here has already come.

Although he didn't know how much money they would give for the time being, Zhang Ning would not be disgusted with the money, so he sent his bank account directly to him.

"Okay, tomorrow I will inform the finance to transfer your funds to Mr. Zhang. It's late, you go to bed early and don't bother. ”

“ok。”

Zhang Ning also felt very sleepy, turned off the computer, and soon fell asleep on the sofa.

Dell U.S. Corporate Headquarters.

Dell is a well-known PC manufacturer in the world, and at the same time, they also sell computer servers.

In the new round of blade server technology advancement, Dell has also followed the pace of global development.

Today, however, a solemn meeting is being held at Dell's headquarters in the United States.

"Guys, tell me about the current situation on our Dell server."

The CEO of Dell is called Dell, and Dell is also named after his own name "Michael Dell".

"Mr. Dell, at the moment our Dell server is very good in all aspects."

Americans generally call someone by their first name, even if it's their boss.

"yes, we've been selling our blades lately."

Michael? Dell is the CEO of Dell Inc. and the founder of Dell Inc. When it comes to Dell, it's fair to say that no one knows it better than Dell.

"This ......"

There was some embarrassment in the crowd. Still, Dell said, "I know you have a lot of ideas in mind, and you might say that blade servers are just coming out, and sales aren't going to be too good." Or rather, the price of blade servers is too expensive, and now it is the cold winter of the Internet, which also brings difficulties to sales. But, what I want to say is. Blade servers are inevitably the future direction of server development, which is also a sign of technological progress. If we lose in this area, then we will not be able to compete with IBM and HP in the future. ”

Dell is very interested in technological innovation, and he can even be sure that the server of the future will be the world of blade servers.

Because, as he just said, this is the direction of scientific and technological development, and history will inevitably cause such a result.

"Teller, what do you think of being the company's technical officer?"

Teller is the CTO of Dell, and when he hears the boss mention himself, Teller stands up.

"Mr. Dell, I think we can grow dramatically with just one problem by solving one problem."

"What's the problem."

"Compatibility issues."

It's just that this statement caused some people to laugh.

"Mr. Teller, are you telling a joke?"

Everyone in the industry knows that blade servers are the future of servers because they have the most advanced server design technology. The design of combining dozens of hard drives into a single computer case can fully satisfy any very large enterprise. However, there is a problem here. Because the blade server has just been launched, although the technology is advanced. But in terms of compatibility, it has always been criticized.

Of course, they also feel depressed. Because, while satisfying the high performance of blade servers, they can only use some special network cards and special connection devices. As a result, these special devices also cause incompatibility in various systems. At first, users will feel that the blade server is powerful, so they buy it back and try it out. As a result, after a year and a half of trial, he had all kinds of incompatibility problems. In the end, it is not a very technical company, and they dare not buy a blade server. Because, they are afraid that they will accidentally encounter incompatible problems when they buy them back, which will make them unable to deal with it.

"Mr. Teller, haven't you always been in charge of technical issues?"

"yes, what's going on now?"

Of course, Dell has also thought of a solution.

The best way to do this is to work with the big software companies and make them proactively compatible with their own proprietary hardware.

However, the process has been slow. One is that small software companies are generally too lazy to update their software, and the other is that large software companies have the time and energy and money to update, but they will consider whether it is necessary to do so. Not to mention, some software vendors that are hostile to companies like Dell, they will not update if they are killed.

As a result, the problem of blade server compatibility has always existed.

Of course, there is also a way for Dell to be compatible with all kinds of software.

For example, we can develop a driver that is compatible with all kinds of software.

However, if this kind of work is left to the company that produces the hardware, it will have to be exhausted.

With so much software in the world, how many versions do you have to develop?

They only developed some more major drivers, such as drivers for various versions of Windows, Linux drivers, and drivers for Apple...... In addition to these, if they encounter other software or systems, they can only be depressed.

As a result, when Teller only mentioned this compatibility issue, several members of the meeting laughed.

However, Teller did not stop at the laughter of these people, but with a hint of excitement, he said, "Mr. Dyer, I just received an email today that a genius programmer has developed a universal driver. The driver allows us to quickly match our hardware to a wide range of systems without any compatibility issues. ”

"Ah, Teller, really?"

Hearing the news, the founder Dell stood up excitedly.

He knew what this news meant, and what it meant if he could solve the compatibility issue with the blade driver. Then, their blade servers will completely throw off some traditional server giants such as IBM, HP, etc. In the future, they can even become the top storage of the server.

"Yes, Mr. Dale, I've tested it myself."

He replied in the affirmative, and continued, "In addition to testing this driver to match the current popular system, I also tested a lot of software that is not popular in the market. The results showed that the driver worked perfectly with all kinds of software systems, and finally solved the compatibility problem that we had been struggling to solve. ”

"Great, Teller, which programmer developed this driver, and I won a million dollars to him."

"No, no, Mr. Dell, this was not developed by our company's programmers."

"Ah, wasn't it developed by our company's program?"

Everyone looked at each other with an incredulous look.

"How is this possible?"

Generally speaking, a driver is also a kind of software though. However, a driver is more of an interface. An interface program that connects a system to hardware. This kind of program needs to know most of the system's settings, while also taking into account the various parameters of your own hardware. In other words, such a driver can only be developed by a hardware manufacturer.

However, Teller now told him that this driver was not developed by the programmers in the company.

It's just shocking.

Who can have such good technology?

Just now, Teller just said that he had developed a universal drive, and such news had already surprised everyone present. Because of this kind of technology, it has been very rebellious. Otherwise, as the founder of Dell, Dell, he would not have directly said that he would reward the programmer with $1 million. But now, the development of such a driver by an outsider can be said to be against the sky.

"I don't think it's possible, but it is, because that email is from China. And, the guy said. He developed this driver because he wanted to buy our Dell blade servers, but because he felt that the blades had various compatibility issues, he helped write one. Then, he sent the drive to the company's mailbox. ”

"This, this, this ......"

When everyone heard this explanation, they were stunned again.

"My God, we've met someone."

"No matter who you meet, he's a genius, a genius to help us Dell, right?"

At this time, everyone was excited.

With such a universal drive, hehe, IBM, HP, you guys go to die.

"Yes, we should update our drivers immediately on the official website and advertise them loudly."

"Yes, I think it's necessary too. I think this kind of universal drive is very powerful, but IBM and HP are very powerful. IBM, in particular, has more technology than we could have imagined. We should strike quickly and not give them a chance. If we give them a certain amount of time, maybe IBM has developed a corresponding universal driver. And even if the corresponding technology is not developed. But with IBM's relationship with major manufacturers, I believe that they can also work together to solve our one-size-fits-all problem. ”

"Well, you're all right. Teller, you've done a great job this time. ”

Dale was very happy, "By the way, Teller, did that guy ask for anything?" ”

"I mentioned it."

"Whatever the requirements, we will definitely meet."

Actually, he didn't have any requirements. He said that it would be nice to just give him a few Dell blade servers. ”

"That's it?"

"Yes, that's it."

"My God, what a requirement. He wrote back and said, "We fully met his request." ”

"Okay."

"Also, ask him if he'd like to join Dell, and if so, we can offer him an annual salary of $1 million."
