The digital age has seen a rapid shift in productivity, moving from general computing to intelligent computing. This change is essentially an evolution of computing. The emergence of ChatGPT in 2023 and Sora in early 2024 means the beginning of the era of artificial general intelligence, underlined by large model technology.
Vandia Yang, CEO and President of Southeast Asia Region of xFusion Technologies International Co., Ltd., said: “xFusion helps companies foster the application and development of new forces of productivity and quality information technology through of its green IT solutions.
Louis Zhao, president of xFusion International Business, echoes Yang’s sentiment. He notes that “2023 marked significant changes in the computing market. The intense exploration of artificial intelligence has led to an increase in industrial demand for green computing infrastructure. Meanwhile, the current rise of artificial intelligence has driven an increase in demand for diversified computing infrastructure.”
At the end of the third quarter of 2023, China’s total computing market reached 200 EFLOPS, equivalent to 10 to the power of 18. Intelligent computing infrastructure accounted for 25 percent of this total, up 60 percent year-on-year since 2022. .
Meanwhile, between the first half of 2022 and 2023, China’s AI server market grew by 54 percent. The total market capitalization of publicly traded AI companies increased from $3.1 billion to $16.4 billion.
“Data is the future,” says Yang. “We will focus on elevating computing, improving the multi-dimensional heterogeneity of computing, and continuing to improve green computing solutions.”
However, Zhao highlights that the current high electricity demand, computing power density, space and heat dissipation associated with power consumption are part of the current high carbon energy consumption. He says: “These factors conflict with the goal of achieving low carbon emissions or carbon neutrality. The industry consensus is to increase computing power density and transform cooling methods for computing infrastructure. xFusion can contribute in these areas.”
Zhao adds that xFusion’s strategic market positioning and direction ensure that the company’s products and services align with the sustainability requirements of the global ecosystem. “We help establish end-to-end security and reliability, fostering new quality productivity. This allows companies to innovate in their production through efficient application,” she adds.
Boost Hong Kong’s IT market
Hong Kong faces significant obstacles in its bid to become a hub for AI supercomputing, mainly due to a lack of computing infrastructure, a critical component of productivity.
Yang identifies the main challenges for the intelligent computing center in Hong Kong and Macau as a lag in data and applications, an “explosion” of computing and energy consumption, and a gap in talent cultivation and transformation.
Yang is confident that xFusion can offer customized solutions to local businesses undergoing digital transformation. He says: “We have established the Hong Kong and Macao Ecosystem Innovation and Service Center to facilitate rapid innovation and application in Hong Kong’s digital economy.”
Hong Kong is considered the international center of innovation and technology. The city will assist in the creation of an international digital port to meet the requirements of the Greater Bay Area (GBA) digital economy. “Following the principle of ‘value creation, shared faith and mutual growth’, xFusion, in collaboration with partners such as Ms. Maisy Ho of HUISON NETWORK LIMITED and Dr. Peter Lee Ka-kit of The Hong Kong and China Gas Company Limited, will foster the development of new forces of quality productivity and native AI applications, stimulate industrial development and commercialization, and collectively contribute to the prosperity of the GBA,” adds Yang.
Assist in the digital transformation of clients
Digital transformation presents a high threshold for businesses, and the “last mile” poses significant challenges. This complex process requires changes in organizational structure, business processes and technological applications, leading many companies to face a series of obstacles, according to Yang.
A strong and well-structured company, xFusion has developed a deep understanding of IT infrastructure and green IT technology and starts with the origin of the business. “We help clients rebuild the design of their business to achieve optimal end-to-end costs, efficiency and financial outcomes,” says Yang. xFusion has established a Digital Transformation Research Institute and launched the xSee Big Data & AI platform to facilitate end-to-end digital AI operations and decision analysis for clients. Committed to providing a reliable computing cornerstone, xFusion leverages its digital transformation expertise to help customers successfully transform their operations.
xFusion also prioritizes upskilling the workforce. The company has established a Global Training Center targeting Hong Kong and overseas markets. “We offer basic AI courses and labs to cultivate more local IT infrastructure talent in Hong Kong and provide advanced training to overseas users,” adds Yang.
Yang continues: “xFusion is working to establish a global network of supply centers. “We aim to efficiently deliver high quality products to local areas, which not only better serves our customers but also boosts local employment.”
In the IT industry, which is an ecosystem in itself, xFusion actively promotes and integrates industrial collaboration. “We have achieved certification and integration, reference infrastructure, co-innovation and other levels of collaboration with major product and solution partners around the world,” Yang says. In the fields of Multi-Cloud and Hyperconvergence, xFusion has launched the FusionOne all-in-one joint solution with Microsoft Azure Cloud and VMware VSAN.
Continuous innovation
xFusion plans to become a global IT provider, developing a global infrastructure for scientific and energy applications. “To achieve this, our goal is to hire the most competent experts in the world,” Zhao says.
The cornerstone of xFusion is its continued global investment in cutting-edge technological innovation. This investment allows the supply of high quality computer products and services. “Our commitment extends to our clients and partners. Today, xFusion has a team of thousands of exceptional engineers from around the world, who have contributed to our leading IT technology and innovation capabilities,” says Zhao.
The company has established nine core laboratories in specialized fields. These include thermal power (capable of operating at 55 degrees Celsius, compared to other companies’ 40 degree Celsius limit), reliability (particularly in natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, with internal anti-seismic screws that can withstand multiple earthquakes). levels), green energy and smart equipment. “In operations and maintenance, our team has developed artificial intelligence robots to replace manual maintenance of heavy products, each of which weighs several tons,” adds Zhao.
xFusion also collaborates with top institutions and universities to drive core competitiveness through co-innovation. “This collaboration is the reason why many customers trust xFusion products, given our two decades of experience,” says Zhao.
With a global presence, xFusion has established 11 research centers, seven regional offices and six global technical support centers. The company has provided innovative IT solutions to more than 10,000 customers in more than 130 countries and regions, including 221 Fortune Global 500 companies in key industries such as telecommunications, finance, Internet, transportation and energy.
