had great success in the hardware market, HP,Gucci Wallets 154184 9761, Dell, have entered service with the acquisition market, with IBM the market leader in a showdown.

13.9 billion U.S. dollars despite the large amount of money on the acquisition of EDS Electronic Data Systems Corp. Sound effects suspect has ceased, but the integration of HP out of the current health Parkinson's altogether effort,Gucci bag Classic 145857-9699, only 3 months to complete the acquisition of EDS: EDS, the maintenance of the existing executive structure will remain basically unchanged, while the majority of HP's existing services capabilities integrated into the EDS. Fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, HP's services business revenue reached 8.9 billion U.S. dollars, up by 8%.
this number enough to cause the attention of IBM Global Services boss. Despite the economic recession, IBM Global Services revenue remained the fourth quarter reached 147 million, more than the sum of hardware and software revenue, up 2%, for 15 years, the global IT services market occupied the throne first.
acquisition constantly
to face old rivals IBM, HP, strong expansion in the services market,Gucci Wallets 141412 9711, and the pressure of their own performance, Dell CEO Michael? Dell finally hold back any longer, and in 2009 in September to around 3.9 billion acquisition of the world's largest IT service provider of medical Perot Systems,Gucci bag Classic 169961 1000, Dell is also the largest acquisition in history.
The idea that Dell will soon be upon completion of the acquisition from the United States directly benefited from the economic stimulus plan - the plan for healthcare IT in the field of funds invested 20 billion U.S. dollars, while the main customers Perot Systems including the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, half of sales come from hospitals, clinical practice and medical insurance.
the other hand, Dell also hopes to enter the medical market indirectly promote the PC and server sales. 2000, EDS signed with the U.S. Marines in a 15-year service contract,Gucci Wallets 74209 1000, Dell will provide 60,000 desktop computers and notebook computers; in 2004, EDS signed with the British bank Barclays seven-year IT services agreement Dell sold 41,700 under this agreement desktop computer. EDS acquired by HP, the natural means Dell's alliance with EDS to end as HP themselves have a great server and desktop distribution channels.
In any case, compared with the hardware vendors, IT services companies with higher margins and stable revenue to help technology companies to ward off recession. In the past 10 years, IBM through active mergers and acquisitions, growing the world's largest IT ISP, despite decline in revenue, but the company has a gross margin through a transition Tigao. IBM showed a profit, as the services sector and the systems and technology sector to improve profitability, IBM Corporation in the fourth quarter 2009 gross margin was 48.3%, 47.9% higher than the same period last year.
HP service is now also tasted the sweetness of the high gross margins. figures for the card - the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, HP's PC business,Louis Vuitton handbag M95120_5569, operating profit from the 616 million U.S. dollars last year fell to 460 million U.S. dollars, while HP's services over the same period operating profit was amazing rapid increase from the 945 million U.S. dollars to 1.4 billion dollars.
IT services market from the current Council term, mergers and acquisitions led directly to snatch IBM Hewlett-Packard has clout in the IT services market, the first position. According to Gartner's data, in 2007 the global IT services market, IBM with 7.2% market share came out top, EDS ranks No. 2, share of 3%; HP for the first five, share of 2.2%.
2008 �� 5 �� �� 13.9 billion U.S. dollars to buy EDS, HP to over 5% market share jumped to second only to IBM's IT services giant. While IBM and still there is a gap between, but this market as being the company's impact on India and other low-cost, the current competitive; customers tend to choose different items to different companies outsourcing, resulting in increasingly fragmented market. In addition, the international IT services contract for the hundreds of millions of dollars more than the project-level - the fourth quarter, IBM signed a service agreement in the global value reached 18.8 billion U.S. dollars, of which 22 the amount of more than 100 million U.S. dollars contract - most likely 12 customer choice changes in ranking on the impact the new changes in this market.
integration strategy
2010 began, the HP out of the following AE Adaptive Enterprise, Adaptive Enterprise and BT. Business Technology, Business Technology after the new blueprint - the strategic integration of infrastructure CI. The strategy incorporates HP's existing computing, storage, networking, and support facilities, and through virtualization technology, will they come together. So also in the industry as HP made cloud computing power of specific initiatives. China Hewlett-Packard Co. vice president, Enterprise Business Group, Technical Services Division, Mr Ip Kin-Biao Shi, integration is based Sheshi business base through more Tanxing the IT architecture to enhance its business competitiveness an important way from the HP Technology Services Tuandui data center, virtualization, network, infrastructure optimization, cloud computing, and the six areas of personnel training support enterprise IT transformation.
to the virtual resource pool, to the flexible network architecture and infrastructure of the operation and optimization, HP can help enterprises fully virtualized, pooled, so that their overall IT architecture more flexible. supplier is still in theory stage when HP had started, and effectively help customers to implement cloud computing. In the orientation,Gucci Wallets 141421 9711, the HP is in the cloud of management; Finally, HP itself is a cloud computing provider for small and medium enterprises as a service to use as the use of cloud.
in the data center, most leaf health is advocated by HP to provide the chip from the bricks to the full life cycle services. Many domestic enterprises begin construction in the data center when not doing the overall planning,
HP form, including three overseas experts, more than 40 local experts and thousands of people to implement operations team, completed the design in China has more than 50 million square meters of data center; and to the user's designed to meet the actual situation in the next ten years now and business needs of data centers, while maintaining a green energy saving and high availability data center than domestic energy efficiency over the same period increased by 30% to 40% or higher. Has been completed for the data center island isolated from each other, no coordination, space constraints, power shortages and other common problems, HP's technology services department also provides integration infrastructure based on the professional advisory services.
in the past to consider the application of the new data center, we must consider the server, storage, networking equipment, multiple bidding, multiple deployment, and integration of the concept of infrastructure from the outset to put all predictions are good, and ultimay shared service management.
achieve virtualization, convergence of the IT system, managers do not need to consider which servers, which switch corresponds to which application, all of the resources the way through virtualization readily available. Before the deployment of a new kind of application a few months time the situation will no longer exist and new infrastructure needed for applications within a few minutes, automatic alarm immediay, and call the idle resources to add, after the end of the application life cycle,
to HP's technical services team has recently done for a carrier cloud computing and virtualization consulting projects, for example, because of virtualization, resources can save 50% or more, including the CPU, rack and power, virtualization is fairly obvious difference between before and after.
addition to the overall solution, HP's technical services team can also address the unique needs of customers in different industries to provide packaged services, especially for the highly competitive retail market,Gucci bag Classic 144388-9699, in accordance with uniform standards and professional project management process for customers to quickly complete the store's network deployment, saving the customer's overall cost, but also to ensure that the network technology and security. In China, HP has helped many well-known retailers to deploy,Louis Vuitton handbag 6287_4418, manage their network infrastructure,Balenciaga handbag 084361A, HP recently undertake the project cycle across a network of 30 months, including 18,000 retail points, a total of 2,000 engineers involved in the deployment, which means Most of China's rural areas, national highway have HP support Web services and operation and maintenance.
If you selected the most popular annual IT word, or the most profound influence on the future of IT,Louis Vuitton wallet M93744, cloud computing will undoubtedly selected. Just a year ago, they also have dubious enterprise CIO. But long after that, think of how they have faded when the financial crisis better use of this new trend in the.
This allows cloud providers are excited,Gucci bag New arrival 145859, and as a veteran of the U.S. hardware vendor EMC Corporation : EMC; NYSE: EMC is no exception. EMC information storage is a information technology company founded in 1979, the main business of information storage and management products, services and solutions.
that we are in July 2006 in Shanghai, when a team is the first study of cloud computing.
addition to setting up a dedicated R & D team, internal management, EMC also made a corresponding adjustment to the framework. Late last year, the company under new CEO two COO, one is responsible for all EMC storage products, the information infrastructure products, another is responsible for services and cloud computing.
servers, middleware and database software, turned to thinking what kind of service levels to their needs, how to take a flexible platform for distribution at any time for business computing and storage resources? and this corresponds, EMC, which sells equipment and software and hardware, today it is are selling the whole architecture platform solutions. In Mei Minling view, the past sales patterns more or less fall into the whirlpool of a price war,Gucci bag Classic 192756-9791, this competitive environment of the factory is not ideal. Once the program becomes available after the calculations,
then, EMC enterprise customers prefer to sell this type of cloud service?
I hope to meet its short-term needs, and then slowly transition to private cloud platform. Ying Li believes that the short term, companies building private clouds than in the past when the input is indeed great,Louis Vuitton wallet M58014, but in the long run, this transformation improved resource utilization, reduced hardware and software procurement and management costs, . In addition, when the company originally intended for equipment replacement,Balenciaga handbag 084824, the cost of such replacement can be integrated into the new platform.
2008 ..,Gucci bag Classic 139260, EMC launched the world's cloud storage platform Atmos, it uses policy-based management system to create different levels of cloud storage. For example, users of data used is defined as data compression, copy the backup saved in fewer places. Atmos online delivery via the Internet is a cloud storage service. Last year in May, EMC and ecom operators began to AT & T co-operation provided by the EMC infrastructure, AT & T responsible for the operation, the user can use the AT & T network cloud to hold, distribution,Louis Vuitton Monogram Denim bag M95211, and retrieve data.
Last year by the end of September, EMC and the Shanghai branch of China ecom jointly launched a family-oriented and individual users information services cloud Shanghai branch of the Encounter data corruption when the computer, users will be able to resume any moment at any point where the data.
in Mei Minling view, the structures of public cloud the company opened a new battlefield. The original focus EMC large enterprise customers,Gucci bag Classic 189833-9674, their data centers often have certain scale, while the Atmos, E cloud is for personal users and small and medium enterprises, , on a great opportunity for us.
but at the same time, it also means that to some extent to the original EMC's business model, You know, cloud computing for IT companies to set up over the past several decades the industrial chain and business model facing the rewrite. After all, EMC was originally a one-time sale of hardware and software by revenue, and build public clouds,Gucci bag Classic 141471 9773, companies need to make the equipment investment,Louis Vuitton wallet M93638, and further follow-up service charges from.
However, EMC cloud computing to the challenge of transformation is not all. While IT cost reduction is a good thing, but not every enterprise IT staff really care about how well done. Therefore, EMC not only to inculcate this vision, but also allow enterprises to understand and are willing to surmount the various obstacles.
On this basis, the cloud is not only necessary to convey the concept to clients, internal communications from it, EMC need to encourage this strategy to all employees, as well as technical and channel partners. On the Acadia, the EMC and Cisco employees for long-term coherence is not easy work, in addition to staff appraisal, remuneration and superior-subordinate relationship, how to make a shared vision for implementation throughout the organization, decided to try this success or failure.
