Inspur Wins China Telecom Server Tender
Sina Tech, 10/15/14
Chinese electronics conglomerate Inspur Group announced yesterday that the company has won an RMB 8-digit server contract from China Telecom (NYSE: CHA; 0728.HK). Inspur's bid covers several models of high-end X86 servers to be used in data centers along China's eastern coast and in western China.
Inspur has previously won server tenders from both China Mobile (NYSE: CHL; 0941.HK) and China Unicom (NYSE: CHU; 0762.HK; 600050.SH), and boasts a 30% market share among China's three major telecom operators.
Xu Zhen, General Manager of Inspur's server products department, has stated that Inspur's server market share among high-end domestic industries such as finance, telecom and utilities has grown rapidly in the first half of 2014.
Editor's Note: Inspur has reported swift sales growth in its server unit following rumors that the Chinese government would ban critical industries in China from using servers produced by foreign firms.
