Chapter 417 Undercurrent surging (4)

Not long after hanging up the phone, Zhang Yang received a call from the finance department of the Star Group. After confirming with Zhang Yang, he told Zhang Yang that he had placed an order, and when the order was brought to the company's finance department, they would pay the other party. After answering the call, Zhang Yang thought for a while, picked up the phone and checked the branch of IBM in the city, and made a direct call.

When they heard that Zhang Yang was the technical director of Xingkong Group and wanted to buy a large number of servers, the person in charge of the other party was very enthusiastic. Needless to say, the popularity of the Star Group, now the whole world knows that the Star Group is rich.

Although Chapter 417 The Undercurrent Surge (4) cannot be said to be the acquisition of Apple's shares out of thin air, there is basically no difference between obtaining Apple's shares out of thin air. At least the Star Group did not pay any financial price, 40% Five shares, according to the current market value of Apple at about US$83 per share, as long as the Star Group sells even one percent of the shares, it will be a terrifying amount of funds.

"It's like this. I want to buy your company's er series servers. How much discount can I get?" Zhang Yang thought for a while. In his memory, IBM's er is more suitable for the current Star Group. Er is not a blade server group, nor is it the same as an ordinary tower server.

Strictly speaking, er is more like a component of a supercomputer. According to IBM's latest er server, it can support a maximum of 128 u arrays and hard drives in its small size. and memory are not too much, but in terms of the performance composition of the u array, the er series servers are quite good.

Such a server composition is also more suitable for the use of the Star Group, especially if the infected bug wants to call the data of the Star Group, a huge u performance is a must. Ordinary blade server groups are more suitable for use as software client servers. Data exchange and storage requirements are relatively high, so the use of blade servers is undoubtedly the most suitable.

But if you want to run a part of the infected system, then such a server will not work. The most direct impact on the infected system is the computing performance of u. The huge u array is the key to ensure the infected system. There is no way, with logic Analytical supercomputer systems are big eaters of performance!

"Mr. Zhang, I don't know if Director Zhang has time. I'll treat Director Zhang to a meal, and then give Director Zhang a quotation for the server." The person who answered the phone was the sales manager of IBM China. Seeing Zhang Yang asked the most expensive A server, the manager's eyes lit up, and he immediately spoke.

"There is no need to eat,

I'm still in a hurry here, how about this, I will give you a QQ number, you can send me the quotation of the server, and then I will give you a detailed data, what do you think? Zhang Yang thought for a while and said.

"Okay, no problem." The manager didn't hesitate, seeing Zhang Yang's straightforward words, he immediately agreed readily. Throwing his original qq number to him, the other party soon sent over IBM's latest server quotation, Zhang Yang checked the ER series of servers, and sure enough there was the server in Zhang Yang's impression, but the price made people feel a little heartache.

Each group of servers is configured according to the standard, that is, 64 u, and the price is about 100,000 US dollars. If it is a 128 u configuration, its price will probably reach 150,000 US dollars per set. After thinking about it, Zhang Yang entered the configuration data of this server into the Infector and asked the Infector to calculate it. Calculated based on the simultaneous translation of 5 million people, without affecting other functions, about 300 sets of servers are needed.

Three hundred sets, that is, an u array composed of 38,400 pieces of u. Thinking about this number, Zhang Yang is a little speechless. If calculated according to the blade server, this is more than 30,000 sets of blade servers. 45 million US dollars, if this figure was the previous Star Group, it would definitely not be able to afford it, but for the current Star Group, this price can only be said to be a drizzle.

After doing some calculations, Zhang Yang directly sent the data in his hand to the department manager of IBM: "I need 300 sets of this latest server, 128 pieces of u configuration, 40 million US dollars." Seeing Zhang Yang send over The manager's eyes lit up immediately, but Zhang Yang's bargaining was really ruthless, and he directly cut off the price of five million US dollars.

But this price is still very profitable for IBM, but seeing the server Zhang Yang chose, the manager thought for a while and said, "Director Zhang, does your company want to build a computing center? If so, I think your company It is more suitable to buy this product from our company." After speaking, the manager directly sent a separate list to Zhang Yang.

Seeing this latest list, the first thing Zhang Yang saw was its price. Seeing the price of 500 million US dollars, Zhang Yang almost vomited blood. Damn, this guy doesn’t have to sell so hard. Well, but Zhang Yang still took a look at the detailed content later, after seeing it, Zhang Yang couldn't take his eyes off.

The most exciting thing for those who engage in technology is the more advanced technology, and the second is the luxurious hardware facilities equipped with this technology. Zhang Yang is no exception. To be honest, Zhang Yang was very moved when he saw the order from the manager of this department. mlbgd, this guy is a little smart, he caught the most critical part of himself in a flash.

nnd, Zhang Yang is a little depressed. Strictly speaking, this guy is not a server, but a supercomputer! In other words, ibm engineers will help you design and install a supercomputer according to your company's requirements! And the 200 million-dollar supercomputer computing core sent to Zhang Yang is composed of a total of 65,536 u, and its calculation speed can reach 9 trillion times per second. The computing speed is high, and it is equipped with a high-definition image processing system of 60 trillion times.

sister! Zhang Yang is a little confused. To be honest, the price is a bit high. Although this supercomputer looks amazing, Zhang Yang clearly remembers that if I remember correctly, IBM will successfully research a newest supercomputer in 2007. The calculation rate is about 12 trillion operations per second, which is much higher than the order given to Zhang Yang, but its price seems to be only more than 100 million US dollars in memory.

"The price is a bit high!" Zhang Yang thought for a while, and replied to the manager. IBM probably has at least a few hundred percent profit at this price. Generally dark.

Seeing Zhang Yang's recovery, the sales manager was almost convulsed with excitement. As a professional salesperson, he certainly understands that when a customer makes such a statement, it only proves one message, that is, the other party intends to buy, but is only dissatisfied with the price That's all! What people in sales are most afraid of is that the other party will simply refuse. As long as the other party's tone hesitates, they have more than 50% chance.

"Mr. Zhang can give me a price in my mind. If the price is right, of course we want a discount for a big customer like Mr. Zhang." The sales manager thought for a long time, and finally threw the topic to the other party. Zhang Yang did not reject such a supercomputer, but Zhang Yang had never been in contact with IBM's business in his previous life, and it was impossible to contact him. He didn't know that IBM would directly customize a supercomputer for the other party.

Although it seems that its hardware and so on have increased, in fact its volume may not increase much, because a lot of hardware of this kind of specially customized supercomputer can naturally optimize a lot of volume compared with a single server group, such as u array, 65,000 A thousand u seems to be a lot, but based on the calculation of a cabinet with a height of more than two meters, its footprint is not much.

"Two hundred and fifty million." Zhang Yang thought for a while, and cut off half of it directly. This price is also profitable for IBM. After all, the current supercomputer cannot be compared with that of a few years later. Although the impact of Moore's Law on supercomputers is not as good as It's as big as a normal computer, but the price drop is for sure.

In terms of performance, a supercomputer with 1 petaflops may currently need more than 60,000 yuan to achieve it, but in more than two years, it may be 10,000 yuan or even less than 10,000 yuan to achieve such a computing speed. block will do it.

Seeing the price sent by Zhang Yang, the sales manager almost gave up, even if it was a bargain, it wasn't so good, right? Just cut it in half? A server array composed of ordinary servers is not comparable to a supercomputer. It is impossible for an ordinary server group to achieve such a high computing efficiency even if you buy one hundred thousand u, because it has a problem of delay in integrated data transmission.

While waiting for the manager's reply, Zhang Yang provided the performance data to the infected bug. Infector soon replied to Zhang Yang that if this supercomputer was really bought, it would be enough to allow the Infector system to perform at 50% of its performance.

"Mr. Zhang, this price is too low. The last customer in China did not have this price, and he paid about 400 million U.S. dollars." The manager replied to Zhang Yang, and Zhang Yang was taken aback by what the manager said. RO! ! ! \u003c/p\u003e;
