Today, the country has attached unprecedented importance to the digital economy. In the "14th Five-Year Plan", the country clearly proposed to increase the proportion of the added value of the core industries of the digital economy in GDP from 7.8% to 10%. This also means that the entire computing industry will usher in greater demand in the future, and computing power will also become the core production factor in the era of digital economy.
In this process, the importance of key computing in industrial upgrading and industrial smart upgrading has been further highlighted. Especially in the huge new applications and new services spawned by the digital economy, the requirements for high security, high performance, high stability, and strong data consistency (three highs and one strong) of core applications and core data have not changed substantially. On the contrary, with the increase in the scale of business applications, more industry users have raised their demand for key computing to a new level.
In this context, at this year's IPF2022, as a representative of high-quality innovation in the key computing field, Inspur K1 Power will continue to rely on its own technical advantages, product performance and industrial ecology to create "three highs and one strong" key computing power, help thousands of industries to build a complete new core application upgrade solution, and further consolidate the cornerstone of intelligent computing for digital-real integration and industrial smart upgrade.
Just as Hu Leijun, General Manager of Inspur Commercial Machines Co., Ltd. said: "With the shifting speed of industrial upgrading, the increasing scale of industrial applications, and the continuous increase of the entire digital economy, in fact, the entire market has formed a relatively strong demand for key computing. This will also be the growth opportunity and development direction of Inspur K1 Power in the future."
Key computing power under industrial upgrading
We know that computing power, as a key productivity factor in the digital economy era, has become the core support and driving force for mining the value of data elements and promoting the development of the digital economy. Especially with the rapid evolution of technological progress and product innovation represented by 5G, artificial intelligence, and big data, the deep integration with vertical industries has been further accelerated, and scene applications have been continuously optimized and innovated.
At the same time, the application of each new technology is bound to be supported by huge computing power resources. With the support of powerful computing power, thousands of industries are experiencing rapid development today, including not only traditional industries such as finance, medical care, government, and subway transportation, but also integrated emerging industries such as industrial Internet, smart manufacturing, Internet of Vehicles, and platform economy.
More importantly, since the core business systems in these industries continue to generate a large amount of high-value-density core data, which plays a core supporting role in the digital transformation of the entire enterprise and the intelligent upgrading of the industry, once these data are damaged or lost, it will cause huge losses to the core business, and this also makes key computing more "indispensable".
Hu Leijun, General Manager of Inspur Commercial Machinery Co., Ltd.
It can be seen that in the field of traditional industries, the demand for "Mission Critical" (business-critical applications) is still in a steady "slightly rising" state. The reason behind this is that although the critical computing is growing with the enlargement of the entire economy and application scale, the improvement of the performance of a single machine has offset the growth of this part of the business and sales. However, the entire domestic industry is currently upgrading. The growth effect is very obvious. For example, in the fields of equipment manufacturing, electronics manufacturing, and engineering machinery manufacturing, Inspur K1 Power It has broken through several large-scale customers in a row. In the future, with the further upgrading of the domestic industrial field, the key computing power demand in this field will also usher in new growth, and the sales of Inspur K1 Power will also reach a new level.
In the field of emerging industries, more and more enterprises have become more "urgent" in the demand for key computing based on the demand for the input-output ratio of information systems, which also allows Inspur K1 Power to achieve growth and progress in the field of emerging industries.
Hu Leijun said: "Many customers in emerging industries have no habit of using key computing before, and they are not familiar with Inspur K1 Power, but after the in-depth cooperation between the two parties, many industry customers can feel a kind of pressure release, especially when they build a core system platform based on Inspur K1 Power, they will find that the support efficiency of this long-term information system becomes more efficient."
It can be seen that, with the acceleration of industrial digital transformation, the demand for key computing power will further surge, and at the same time, the application scenarios will become more complex and diverse, and these new applications, new formats and new models will promote the key computing power represented by Inspur K1 Power to become a solid computing power base in the process of industrial upgrading, and play a more important role in the development of China's digital economy.
Hard core strength "escort"
Then, why can Inspur K1 Power win the recognition of customers in traditional industries and emerging industries? The "secret" behind it can be summarized as: three highs and one strong, advancing with the times and adapting measures to local conditions, and this is also an important manifestation of Inspur K1 Power's "hard core strength". Specifically:
First of all, "three highs and one strong" means that Inspur K1 Power itself has the characteristics of high reliability, high performance, high security and strong real-time consistency of data. It is not only the cornerstone of the enterprise's core information system, but also the guarantee for the stable operation of key applications of new core businesses. It can provide the ultimate security, reliability and stability for core assets such as high-value density data that are the lifeblood of future development.
In Hu Leijun's view, Inspur K1 Power is a typical representative of higher quality requirements in servers. In pursuit of high quality, Inspur K1 Power has very "strict" requirements both in terms of system capabilities and design standards. For example, in terms of system capabilities, Inspur K1 Power has always been an industry-leading system platform and a high-performance system in terms of CPU process technology and architecture, as well as in the field of system I/O capabilities; in terms of design standards, Inspur K1 Power also pursues the ultimate in performance, reliability and safety. Tide K1 Power also uses more stacks to isolate different signals to prevent tampering, and uses more advanced boards and so on.
In addition, in the field of key computing, Inspur K1 Power has become the "best practice" in the field of key system engineering through its own strength. In particular, Inspur K1 Power can ensure the stable operation of key businesses of enterprises, and this stability and reliability also give Inspur K1 Power a more obvious advantage in overall application costs compared with distributed systems. "From this point of view, every penny an enterprise invests in system reliability will be exchanged for greater benefits in the total cost of ownership of information systems, as well as more efficient and safer benefits in the entire commercial business." Hu Leijun said.
Secondly, keeping pace with the times means that in the face of the development trend of digital native and cloud native business ecology, Inspur K1 Power also continues to increase technical investment, comprehensively optimizes from the level of technical code to the level of digital processing tools, improves solution capabilities, supports multiple cloud architecture deployment modes, and creates a "core in the cloud".
Currently, Inspur K1 Power private cloud and container cloud solutions with higher container deployment density and total throughput can efficiently support applications such as containers, distributed databases, and distributed storage. Virtualized resource pools can realize flexible scheduling of resources, create a high-standard, high-reliability, and highly virtualized flexible interworking architecture, and ensure that the Inspur K1 Power platform can have a better fit in the cloud. It has helped enterprises achieve a stable, smooth, and even "moisturizing everything silently" digital transformation without subverting or breaking reconstruction.
Finally, adapting measures to local conditions means that Inspur K1 Power is always oriented to the actual needs of customers, and provides customers with full-stack solutions for cloud cores and integrated solutions for key computing.
Among them, the cloud core-oriented full-stack solution includes a hardware platform based on Inspur K1 Power server, centralized storage, and distributed storage, as well as various cloud management platforms and system software. At the same time, it can launch "adapted to local conditions" industry solutions according to different industries; while the integrated solution for key computing has the characteristics of "mature solutions, safe and reliable, excellent performance, unified management, and unified support", which can better provide "escort" capabilities for the core business of industry customers.
Hu Leijun emphasized: "Whether it is a full-stack solution or an integrated solution, what we want to reflect is the differentiated capabilities of Inspur K1 Power. For example, for key applications, we hope to help customers better use open source software stacks in both private cloud environments and hybrid cloud environments. Through our solutions, customers will not cause efficiency, security, and reliability erosion to their core systems due to the use of more open source technologies; In addition, for cloud-native applications, Inspur K1 Power can better utilize our processor manufacturing process. The characteristics of technology, architecture, memory level and other fields will bring more unique value to industry customers."
Wang Qiang, Deputy General Manager of Product Marketing Department of Inspur Commercial Machinery Co., Ltd.
According to Wang Qiang, deputy general manager of the product marketing department of Inspur Commercial Machines Co., Ltd., facing the future, Inspur K1 Power is also continuing to develop a new generation of products based on Power10 processors. The new generation of products will greatly increase AI reasoning capabilities by 20 times, and change the current limitation that AI applications must be run across systems and dedicated computing clusters. By integrating business applications into the system for execution, it provides effective computing support for non-intensive AI computing in financial core business applications such as identity recognition. power infrastructure.
It is not difficult to see that although the times are constantly changing, Inspur K1 Power has the ability of "three highs and one strong, advancing with the times and adapting to local conditions" to enable Inspur K1 Power to achieve continuous iteration and evolution, not only to meet the diversified needs of industry users for core business and cloudization, but also to make it truly long-term rooted in the core and key business systems of enterprises, becoming the "new core" of digital and intelligent upgrades for thousands of industries.
To be the "new core" of thousands of industries
Indeed, Li Xinwei, deputy general manager of Inspur Commercial Machines Co., Ltd., "felt the same way". It can be seen that Inspur K1 Power has left an active figure in the digital transformation process of both financial and non-financial industries today.

For example, in the financial field, Inspur K1 Power has completed the localization and replacement of the core systems of major state-owned banks, leading joint-stock banks and most rural commercial banks through customized development and in-depth optimization of leading ISVs in the financial industry; and in the securities industry, many securities industry customers have also realized the upgrade of the new generation system by using Inspur K1 Power. The data also shows that in the core application system market in the financial field, the market share of Inspur K1 Power is as high as 90%.
In non-financial fields such as the Internet, medical care, and rail transit industries, Inspur K1 Power has also achieved rapid penetration and large-scale implementation, and has opened up new market growth points in the high-end electronics manufacturing industry. Among them, the rail transit industry is growing rapidly, and about 40% of the subway lines adopt the Inspur K1 Power platform as the structural support.
On this basis, Inspur K1 Power also continues to expand its own ecological "circle of friends". Duo Yuanyun, general manager of the channel promotion department of Inspur Commercial Machines Co., Ltd., said that at present, Inspur K1 Power has established long-term and stable cooperative relations with leading ISVs in vertical industries such as Shenma Rongxin and Changliang Technology in the banking industry, Zhongke Soft in the insurance industry, Hundsun Electronics in the securities industry, and Donghua Medical in the medical industry.

At the same time, Inspur K1 Power has also actively created more than 40 joint solutions for financial and non-financial industries through joint development with ISVs and establishment of joint laboratories, involving new core applications and innovative applications in the financial industry, new core applications such as taxation and social security in the government industry, new core applications such as HIS and PACS in the medical industry, new core applications in the manufacturing industry, retail industry, subway transportation industry, and water conservancy industry, constantly accelerating the application of Inspur K1 Power in new core applications in various industries.
Looking forward to the future, Hu Leijun said that, on the one hand, with the acceleration of digital and intelligent transformation and upgrading, more and more industry users are gradually realizing the value of key computing, and at the same time they are more inclined to choose key business systems that are most suitable for their own development. The "best practice" accumulated by Inspur K1 Power in the past and the pursuit of high quality all the time, I believe that Inspur K1 Power will occupy a more important position in the field of key computing; The supply chain is also very stable, so Inspur K1 Power has the confidence and ability to meet the needs of users in various industries to build new cores and create new applications.
In general, the pace of China's digital economy centered on digital industrialization and industrial digitization is accelerating in an all-round way, and both the digital economy and the digitization of thousands of industries will generate massive amounts of data, and data can only generate value if it is safe, reliable, and stable in key business systems. From this perspective, the reliability of key systems and the security of core data directly determine the effect of digitalization, and the inherent hard-core strength of Inspur K1 Power will undoubtedly provide new momentum for the digital and intelligent transformation and upgrading of thousands of industries, and I believe it will also drive and lead the digital economy to a broader new future.
