Cloud data centers and Server innovation in such areas as Big Data: IBM paves its way in China.



We talk about IBM's POWER architecture to provide customized chip design solutions. The goal here is to push server innovation in such areas as Big Data, cloud computing and next generation data centers.
In this momentum, the Suzhou PowerCore Technology Company and the Research Institute of Jiangsu Industrial Technology will join the OpenPOWER Foundation, with Suzhou PowerCore intending to use IBM's
POWER architecture.
If, unfamiliar, Connectikpeople.co recalls that, The OpenPOWER Foundation is an open development alliance based on IBM's POWER microprocessor architecture. The foundation intends to enable advance server, networking, storage and acceleration technology aimed at delivering more choice, control and flexibility to developers of next generation and cloud data centers.
Suzhou PowerCore , recently created as part of an information technology ecosystem development initiative by Jiangsu Province, plans to license IBM's POWER architecture, intellectual property related to POWER8 and chip design tools to develop and market processors for servers in China. The Research Institute of Jiangsu Industrial Technology will promote and help build an ecosystem for POWER development in Jiangsu Province and throughout China.  
In May 2013, IBM opened its first Linux development center for POWER server technology in Beijing. The OpenPOWER Foundation was announced in August 2013 by founding members IBM, Google, Nvidia, Mellanox and Tyan to create a new, collaborative ecosystem of developers around IBM's POWER technology.
