In 1956, the first ship to modern container ships from the Newark to Houston. This view is now sounds seems simple: use cargo ship carrying large container not small crate, more facilitate people will goods transferred to train, truck or directly to the factories. This kind of container shipping system took years to establish and improve and implement. But, once put into use, the global shipping industry have undergone profound changes.
Container for shipping industry produces a profound change, because they make in port transportation between a large number of cheap goods become more easily. Suddenly, small crate and rely on loading unloading for a living a porter become irrelevant. From a factory is transported to another factory in the long journey, the goods can be kept in a container, so save a lot of time, money and manpower.
Today, a similar transformation is happening: this time, we transport digital products, rather than physical products. We see that it is not the entity factory, but the rise of the digital factory.
Those small crate and by hard for a living a porter like previous data center server manufacturers dell, HP and IBM. Before a lot of enterprises from the three giant buy server to storage and transmission of digital products, and now they choose to create their own server and data center.
Why? Because it is more advantageous to improve efficiency. On the influence of different enterprises concerned, digital "data factory" is similar to the rise of the rise of the entity factory. That is to say, the big enterprise will create their own digital factory. The "crate" will become the history of the past.
We have seen this kind of change is occurring. Small server group has failed to meet the technology industry giants, such as Facebook, Google (micro Po) and the demand of the amazon. Therefore, they have started to build their own faster, more and more agile "data factory". This data center can than server suppliers for a long time solution treatment far more data.
Several months ago, Intel CIO Diane Bryant (Diane Bryant), when being interviewed by the media to share some interesting data, further proof that the above views. She said, in 2008, 75% of the Intel server chip revenue from YuSanDa server manufacturing business: IBM, dell and hewlett-packard. In 2012, 75% of the Intel server chip revenue from eight companies, rather than the above three giants.
Four years ago, most companies are from the three giant server purchased. However, Bryant sharing statistics show that the market is changing. HP deny the validity of these figures, claiming that HP, dell and IBM together still occupy the market share of 73.9%. But, if you carefully study the development and change of the data center, you will find that Bryant's data confirm that the server industry have been affected.
