Release date1993 - Present

Inspur Server Series is a series of server computers introduced in 1993 by Inspur,[1] an information technology company,[2] and later expanded to the international markets.[3][4] The servers were likely among the first originally manufactured by a Chinese company.[5][6] It is currently developed by Inspur Information and its San Francisco-based subsidiary company - Inspur Systems, both Inspur's spinoff companies.[7] The product line includes GPU Servers,[8] Rack-mounted servers,[9] Open Computing Servers and Multi-node Servers.[10]

Timeline of server production

Technical characteristics

Inspur follows technical standards and protocol specifications of a number of computing organizations, including OIN (Open Invention Network),[22] SPEC (Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation, joined in 2014), OpenStack (joined 2014), OCP Open Compute Project (joined 2017), ODCC (Open Data Center Committee), and Open19.[23][24][25]
