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.
