    Chapter 417: Undercurrent (4)

    Not long after hanging up the phone, Zhang Yang received a call from the Finance Department of Star Group. After confirming with Zhang Yang, he told Zhang Yang to place an order and take the order to the company's Finance Department and they would pay the other party.  After answering the phone, Zhang Yang thought for a while, then picked up the phone and checked the IBM branch in City H, and made a call directly.

    When I heard that Zhang Yang was the technical director of Star Group and wanted to buy a large number of servers, the person in charge of the other party was very enthusiastic. There was no other way. It was difficult not to be enthusiastic. What a big customer. This is a big customer.  Needless to say, Star Group is very popular. Now the whole world knows that Star Group is rich.

    Although it cannot be said that it obtained Apple's shares out of thin air, it is basically the same as getting it out of thin air. At least Star Group did not pay any financial price. For 45% of the shares, according to Apple's current market value of about US$83 per share  , as long as Starry Sky Group sells even 1% of its shares, it will be a terrifying amount of funds.

    "That's right, I want to buy the latest power server from your company powww.piaotia.com. In its small size, it can support a maximum of 128 CPUs.  The array, hard disk and memory are not too many, but in terms of the performance of the CPU array, the power series servers are quite good.

    Such a server composition is also more suitable for Starry Sky Group, especially if the infected bugs want to call Starry Sky Group data, huge CPU performance is necessary.  Ordinary blade server groups are more suitable for use as client servers for software, such as game clients, etc. Because such servers do not have high requirements for computing performance and have relatively high requirements for network data exchange and storage, blade servers are used.  Undoubtedly the most suitable.

    But if you want to run 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 the CPU. A huge CPU array is the key to ensuring the infected system. There is no way, but with logic  Supercomputer systems with analytical capabilities are performance-hungry!

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

    "There's no need to eat. I'm in a hurry here. Let's do this. I'll give you a QQ number. You can send me the quotation for the server, and then I'll give you detailed data. What do you think?" Zhang Yang thought for a moment.  He spoke.

    "Okay, no problem." The manager didn't hesitate. Seeing that Zhang Yang said it simply, he immediately agreed readily.  Throwing his original QQ number to him, the other party soon sent IBM's latest server quotation. Zhang Yang checked the power series servers and found that the server in Zhang Yang's impression was indeed there, but the price made people feel a little heartbroken.

    Each set of servers is configured according to standard configuration, that is, 64 CPUs, and the price is about US$100,000.  If it is configured with 128 CPUs, its price will be approximately US$150,000 per set.  After thinking about it, Zhang Yang entered the configuration data of this server into the infection bug and asked the infection bug to calculate it.  Calculated based on running instant translation for 5 million people at the same time, without affecting other functions, approximately 300 sets of servers are needed.

    Three hundred groups, that is, a CPU array composed of 38,400 CPUs. Thinking about this number, Zhang Yang was speechless. If calculated according to blade servers, this is more than 30,000 groups of blade servers.  45 million US dollars, this figure would definitely not be affordable by the previous Star Group, but for the current Star Group, this price can only be described as drizzle.

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

    But this price is still very profitable for IBM. However, 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 saying this, the manager directly sent a separate order to Zhang Yang.

    Seeing this latest order, the first thing Zhang Yang noticed was its price. Looking at the price of up to 500 million US dollars, Zhang Yang almost spit out a mouthful of blood. Damn it, this guy doesn't have to be so hard-selling.  Yeah, but Zhang Yang still took a look at the details behind it.??At this sight, Zhang Yang couldn't take his eyes away.

    The most exciting thing for those who are engaged in technology is more advanced technology, and the second is the luxurious hardware facilities equipped with this technology.  Zhang Yang was no exception. To be honest, Zhang Yang was very excited when he saw the order from the department manager.  mlbgd, this guy is a bit clever. He immediately grasped his most critical point.

    nnd, Zhang Yang is a little depressed. Strictly speaking, this guy sent this 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!  The supercomputer computing core worth 200 million US dollars sent to Zhang Yang is composed of a total of 65,536 CPUs. Its calculation speed can reach 9 quadrillion times per second.  computing speed, and is equipped with a high-definition image processing system of 60 trillion times.

    ***Sister¡¯s!  Zhang Yang is a little confused. To be honest, the price is a bit high. Although this supercomputer looks awesome, Zhang Yang clearly remembers that if he remembers correctly, IBM will successfully develop a new supercomputer in 2007.  The computing speed is about 12 quadrillion times per second. The preparation is not sure how much higher than the order given to Zhang Yang, but its price seems to be only more than 100 million US dollars in my memory.

    "The price is a bit high!" Zhang Yang thought for a while and replied to the manager. At this price, IBM probably has at least a few hundred percent profit. Although IBM's own domestic sales and external prices are certainly different, this price is no longer the same.  Generally dark.

    Seeing Zhang Yang's recovery, the sales manager almost convulsed with excitement. As a professional salesperson, he certainly understands that when a customer says something like this, it only proves one message, that is, the other party intends to buy, but is just not satisfied with the price.  That¡¯s all!  What sales people fear most is that the other party will refuse without leaving any room. As long as there is a slight hesitation in the other party's tone, they have more than 50% chance.

    "Mr. Zhang can give me a price that's in 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 refuse such a supercomputer, but Zhang Yang had never been exposed to IBM's business in his previous life, and it was impossible for him to do so. He did not know that IBM would directly customize supercomputers for them.

    Although it seems that its hardware and so on have increased, in fact its volume may not have increased much, because this kind of specially customized supercomputer has a lot of hardware that can naturally optimize a lot of volume compared to a single server group, such as a CPU array, 65,000  Thousands of CPUs may seem like a lot, but considering a cabinet over two meters high, it doesn't take up much space.

    "Two hundred and fifty million." Zhang Yang thought for a moment and cut it in half. At this price, IBM was making money. After all, current supercomputers cannot be compared with those in a few years. Although the impact of Moore's Law on supercomputers is not as good as  It is as big as an ordinary computer, but the price is definitely going to fall.

    Taking performance as an example, a supercomputer with a petaflop may currently require more than 60,000 CPUs to achieve it. However, in more than two years, it may take 10,000 CPUs or even less than 10,000 CPUs to achieve such a computing speed.  Blocks can do it.

    Seeing the price Zhang Yang sent, the sales manager almost vomited blood. Even if he was bargaining, he couldn't cut it that hard, 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 array to achieve such high computing efficiency even if it has 100,000 CPUs, because it has a delay problem in integrated data transmission.

    While waiting for the manager¡¯s reply, Zhang Yang provided the performance data to the infected bug.  The infected bug soon replied to Zhang Yang. If this supercomputer was really purchased, it would be enough to allow the infected bug system to exert 50% of its performance.

    "Mr. Zhang, this price is too low. The last customer in China didn't have this price, and he paid about 400 million US dollars." The manager replied to Zhang Yang, and Zhang Yang was stunned by the manager's words.
