From "high-end" financial transactions to "down-to-earth" daily travel, in the digital age, computing power , like water in the agricultural era and electricity in the industrial era, has become a key driving force for promoting the high-quality development of in the economic era.
According to the "2021-2022 Global Computational Power Index Assessment Report" jointly compiled by IDCh, Inspur Information , and Tsinghua University Global Industry Research Institute, on average, for every point increase in the country's computing power index, digital economy will grow by 3.5‰, and GDP will grow by 1.8‰.
As the world's second largest economy, my country's total computing power scale also ranks second in the world. According to statistics, as of the end of June 2022, the total scale of data center racks in my country exceeded 5.9 million standard racks, the server scale was about 20 million units, and the total computing power scale exceeded 150 EFlops (15,000 Beijing times floating-point calculation times per second).
And with the implementation of the " East Number and West Calculation " project, my country's demand for computing power will continue to be released. According to , the average annual growth rate of data center racks will remain at around 20% during the 14th Five-Year Plan period. Especially in key areas such as finance, energy, transportation, electricity, and medical care, servers are not only needed to release high-value computing power, but also to provide high-reliability, high performance, high security and strong consistent computing power guarantees.
builds a good server, a key infrastructure for "production" computing power, so that the whole society can achieve "freedom of computing power" of "get it and use it", and becomes the mission and responsibility of China's server industry.
"In recent years, the technological progress of domestic high-end servers has been very great." Hu Leijun, general manager of , Inspur Commercial Machinery Co., Ltd., pointed out that over the past 30 years, China's server industry has "from nothing to something, from weak to strong", vigorously improving its independent innovation capabilities and striving to break through key core technology thresholds.
Hu Leijun introduced that relying on innovation-driven development, Inspur server has increased its annual production capacity by 4 times in four years, and its manpower investment has decreased by 75%. In 2021, Inspur Server's global market share has risen to second. Today, the computing power of a high-end server can reach the level of processing 1 billion stock transactions in a single day, which is equivalent to serving 200 million shareholders across the country to trade 5 orders per day.

"If an ordinary server is a car, then a high-end server is like a train, not only running faster, but also loading capacity." Hu Leijun took the server for the financial application field as an example. Inspur developed a processor collaborative chip, connecting multiple processors together to form a higher performance server system; at the same time, focusing on the reliability of the system, multi-level systemic high-availability technology from chip level to board level, system level, firmware, operating system and then to applications can make the server reach 99.999% high availability, and the downtime of one year does not exceed 5 minutes.

He also introduced that Inspur K1 Power adopts a 40-layer mixed motherboard design to ensure the integrity of high-speed signal transmission and isolate crosstalk; adopts a multi-dimensional redundant design to minimize the single-point failure rate; 160,000 fault checkers spread throughout the system can monitor the system operation in real time, predict and report the location of the fault occurrence, and automatically trigger the repair mechanism, breaking the high-reliable electronic device and component certification standards, and design guarantees the service life of the components up to 22 years.
"What is the concept of 22 years? Putting aside the reality of super-high speed iteration of the server product itself, it can be simply understood as if this board can be started and used even if it enters the History Museum." Hu Leijun said proudly while holding a K1 Power high-end server motherboard to show it to reporters.
In his opinion, entering the era of cloud computing, the "three highs and one strong" characteristics of domestic high-end servers with high reliability, high performance, high security and strong consistency are crucial to promote the deep integration of digital technology with the real economy and continuously strengthen, improve and expand the digital economy.
Currently, all industries in my country are in the accelerated period of digital transformation , policy favorable policies continue to be released, and related investment layouts are underway. " "14th Five-Year Plan" Digital Economy Development Plan " clearly proposes to accelerate the construction of information network infrastructure, promote the integrated development of cloud network collaboration and computing network, and promote the intelligent upgrade of infrastructure in an orderly manner. In February this year, the national integrated big data center system completed the overall layout of design, and the "East Digital and West Calculation" project was officially launched.
"Inspur's goal is to become the world's leading supplier of IT infrastructure product solutions and services, and lead the server industry to a new peak." Hu Leijun said that Inspur's high-end servers have been widely used in many scenarios such as finance, energy, transportation, electricity, and medical care. At the same time, focusing on customer applications, it will continue to promote the integration and innovation of computing power technology and smart terminal products, help the digital transformation of thousands of industries, and promote the high-quality development of the digital economy and society.
"Next step, domestic high-end servers should be guided by application needs and centered on system architecture design innovation, and embark on a unique path of innovation and development." Hu Leijun said that from chips to system components, to the entire system, and then to applications, domestic high-end servers should also be customized to meet application needs, and through system architecture design and multi-level and cross-level collaborative optimization, new industry standards and systems should be established to dominate the future development of the server industry.
