Chapter 1814 IBM collapsed

It is now around 1:9 a.m. London time, and domestic time is about [-]:[-] a.m.This is the morning, and it is a cold period for group buying on campus, and generally there will not be too much traffic.

Yesterday, Suning.com survived the lunch session and the evening session, which shows that their current ability to withstand pressure is already very strong.It broke down in the morning session today.

This had to make Zhou Buqi think about it, and it is likely that Ziweixing made an early move!

This was not in the pre-plan.

From the perspective of the overall situation, Zhou Buqi has to balance the interests of various business units, and the cooperation between Xiaonei.com and Suning.com has made a lot of money.After taking down IBM, Ziweixing Engineering Institute can also make a lot of money from Suning.Such a big piece of cake, after all, should be given to the Chinese and Taiwan business department.

If you start early, won't this affect the income of the middle and Taiwan business?
It is estimated that some other changes have occurred.

Zhou Buqi was not in a hurry, he just finished the matter at hand first.Let Sun Guanran go to the study to wait for him first, then pull Tang Yixin over and work for a while.

After taking a shower, putting on pajamas and going to the study, it was already half an hour later.

According to Zhou Buqi's guess, it may be pressure from JD.com.

After all, when Suning turned to the online platform, the first slogan he shouted was to kill JD.com.Now Xiaonei has helped Suning.com add 1000 million new users in one day, which is equivalent to cultivating a strong opponent for JD.com.

Seeing him coming, Sun Guanran first rolled his eyes, and said old-fashionedly: "When is it, you're still playing with women there, are you addicted? Men should put their career first, don't you know?"

Zhou Buqi waved his hands indifferently, and said as he walked, "It's just a trivial matter. I call Mount Tai collapsed in front of me without changing my face."

Sun Guanran sneered, "You're lustful, aren't you?"

"Do you owe a beating?"

Zhou Buqi glared at her.

Sun Wanran curled her lips, and stopped talking back to him, and quickly said: "I asked just now, it seems that this matter has nothing to do with Suning.com."

"Jingdong, right?"

This is Zhou Buqi's little guess.

Sun Guanran was slightly taken aback, "What Jingdong? What does it have to do with Jingdong?"

Zhou Buqi was surprised, "What is that?"

Sun Wanran said, "It seems that IBM's cloud computing platform has collapsed."

"What?"

Zhou Buqi was taken aback.

While communicating with him, Sun Guanran made a phone call, "I don't know too well, you can talk to Cheng Binghao... Well, it's connected, here it is."

Zhou Buqi took it and said directly: "Old Cheng, what's going on? How did I hear that IBM's cloud computing platform crashed?"

Cheng Binghao laughed loudly, "Yes, this time it really has nothing to do with Suning. It was IBM's backyard that caught fire, which affected Chi Yu and Suning."

"what happened?"

Zhou Buqi was a little excited, not much worse than when he was hanging out with Jiang Shuying and Tang Yixin in the bedroom just now.

Cheng Binghao said with a smile: "Suning is a big customer, and the IBM headquarters issued a death order, requiring IBM Greater China to keep its cooperation with Suning. In order to cope with this Double Eleven shopping event, IBM really broke the boat. Suning.com has been connected to IBM's not-so-mature IBM cloud computing platform, and connected to nearly 2 servers in the data center."

Zhou Buqi knew the premise information, "Well, yesterday's effect was good, and it withstood the afternoon and evening peaks of group buying on campus."

Cheng Binghao said: "However, the concept of cloud computing is not mature at all, and IBM has no elastic algorithm at all, and the distributed fault tolerance mechanism is also very poor. Let alone IBM, Amazon Cloud has had two major accidents this year. , didn’t something happen to Ziweiyun too?”

During Ziweiyun's cooperation with Netflix, a serious accident happened.

Fortunately, for Zhou Buqi, Ziweiyun and Netflix are the right and left hands, and he can easily suppress the negative information.Therefore, in the global cloud computing industry, Ziwei Cloud has a better reputation than Amazon Cloud.

As for IBM's cloud computing... Don't talk about it, there is no qualification for comparison.

Even Amazon Cloud and Ziwei Cloud will fail, let alone IBM's immature so-called cloud computing system.

Zhou Buqi said: "So, we don't need to take action at all. Is it IBM's self-destruction?"

"Yes, their set of things is not mature at all, and they hurriedly dragged Suning.com into the horse. An accident is certain. It will happen one day sooner or later. Moreover, it is not just Suning.com who made a big fuss this time."

"What do you mean?"

"IBM is the world's largest outsourcing service provider, and it is also the second largest outsourcing service provider in China. IBM's data center not only serves Suning.com, but also hundreds of other outsourcing partners. The data The center collapsed, and so did the hundreds of other partners."

"I'll go!" Zhou Buqi was stunned, "This time it's a big mess?!"

Cheng Binghao said: "Yes, it's a big mess. Now IBM may have to pay hundreds of millions in liquidated damages. The little money earned from Suning may have to be vomited."

Then, he briefly talked about the development history of IBM's outsourcing business.

IBM has a long history. In the constant changes in the technology industry, IBM is also undergoing continuous business upgrading and strategic transformation.

In the past ten years, a very important transformation has been to abandon the manufacturing industry and develop the outsourcing industry.

This is closely related to the domestic industrial development.

Since 2002, IBM has wanted to transform, faded out of the manufacturing business, and initiated the prelude to the transformation to services.If you want to transform, you need to spend money.

Coincidentally, at that time, the Pengcheng government promoted a policy to make the service outsourcing industry the focus of the next industrial upgrading.

However, at that time, the technical level of the domestic IT industry was backward, and many outsourcing projects could not be undertaken by domestic companies, so they could only rely on foreign companies.

It is not impossible for the IT industry to want to overtake in a corner, but it can only exist in the Internet field, because the Internet has the nature of open source.

For example, a technology develops from 0 to 100.

If it is Internet technology, all technological developments from 0-99 may have been open sourced and released to the world for free.Domestic Internet companies only need to learn all the previous stages of 0-99, and then they can start researching the stage of 100, and have the possibility of overtaking.

可是传统的IT技术就不太行了,都是保密的。国内是0基础,就要一点一点地从0-10、从10-20、从20-30慢慢地学习、研究、发展,这玩意做不了假。

The outsourcing industry in the past also belonged to the traditional IT field, and it was difficult to overtake in a corner.The Pengcheng government has introduced policies, but domestic outsourcing companies can't keep up.

Just in time, IBM appeared.

The two sides hit it off.

The Pengcheng government took the lead in organizing a number of companies, spending a total of more than 20 billion US dollars to buy the storage manufacturing business under IBM. This part of the business is relatively low-end, and domestic companies can also do it.

IBM got rid of the low-end business and got the money, so it can make great strides to develop into the IT outsourcing industry.Reciprocating, IBM put the global execution center of the Outsourcing Division in Pengcheng.

Subsequently, IBM's cooperation with China continued to deepen.

IBM reached a cooperation with Lenovo again, sold the PC business to Lenovo, and further sold low-end assets... Then, there will be more cooperation with China.

Now, IBM has placed its software outsourcing global headquarters, global procurement center, and IT service outsourcing execution center in Pengcheng.

And the deep layout of the Pearl River Delta has increased from a simple business branch to multiple business organizations including procurement, production, customer order fulfillment, software business support, and global service execution centers. The Pearl River Delta has become a strategic point for IBM's global integration. land.

Coupled with the backward technology in the domestic outsourcing market in the past few years, except for China Enterprise Power, which can obtain index outsourcing orders from state-owned enterprises, governments, and public institutions through hard relationships, almost no one in the domestic outsourcing market is IBM. opponent.

Especially in the field of high-end outsourcing.

Even Huawei, ZTE, Haier, Gree, TCL and other giants of national glory also have to find IBM to purchase outsourcing services.Suning is not surprised to find IBM to cooperate, because this is a common phenomenon in the industry.

IBM places approximately 170 million outsourcing orders each year, targeting 650 million customers, and produces more than 78000 products each year, of which the domestic market accounts for 5%.

At first glance, the proportion of 5% is very low, far less than IBM's emphasis on the Chinese market.

However, what IBM has obtained in China are all high-end outsourcing projects with extremely high interest rates.Those low-end projects are generally divided up by domestic outsourcing companies and related households.

For example, there has been a phenomenon of bragging in the domestic and foreign outsourcing markets in recent years.

It is said that Baidu defeated Google, QQ defeated MSN, Taobao defeated eBay, etc. This is a glorious victory for domestic technology companies to defeat Silicon Valley giants.

Similarly, China Enterprise Power, a domestic outsourcing giant, also defeated IBM, which is also very honorable.

In fact, this is not the case at all. The market share of China Enterprise Power in the field of outsourcing is indeed higher than that of IBM, but China Enterprise Power has received orders from the government and state-owned enterprises, and it is a pure relationship.Moreover, they can only do low-end projects, and when they get high-end projects... they are often subcontracted to IBM for the second time.

It can also be seen from public opinion that cases such as QQ defeating MSN, Taobao defeating eBay, and Baidu defeating Google can be freely discussed in the open, and it cannot be overstated. These companies are indeed powerful.It is better not to let the outside world know that China Enterprise Dynamics defeated IBM.

However, if Ziweixing defeated IBM, it can be publicized openly.

IBM currently has three data centers in China, and because of the Suning incident, one data center collapsed.This means that one-third of IBM's domestic outsourcing customers may have been implicated.

"This time the bull broke."

Zhou Buqi opened his eyes wide, a little dazed.I thought it was a wave of IBM through Suning, but I didn't expect the matter to become a big mess, implicating hundreds of thousands of companies.

Well, good thing!

Both public and private are good things!
In recent years, the domestic IT industry has developed rapidly.Domestic companies can do well in projects that seemed very high-end in the early years.Domestic policies have also been promoting the autonomy of the technology industry. This time, IBM defaulted, and those partners had a reason to withdraw voluntarily.
