The company started in Shandong, but in the early 2000s moved its marketing center to Beijing, and expanded its operations to the national level.[citation needed]

In 2005, Microsoft invested US$20 million in the company.[2] Inspur announced several agreements with virtualization software developer VMware on research and development of cloud computing technologies and related products.[3][4] In 2009, Inspur acquired the Xi'an-based research and development facilities of Qimonda AG for 30 million Chinese yuan (around US$4 million).[5][6] The centre had been responsible for design and development of Qimonda's DRAM products.[6]

In 2011, Shandong Inspur Software Co., Ltd., Inspur Electronic Information Co., Ltd. and Inspur (Shandong) Electronic Information Company, established a cloud computing joint venture, with each holding a third.[7]

Inspur is a member of open computing organizations, including SPEC (Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation, joined in 2014), OpenStack(joined 2014), OCP Open Compute Project (joined 2017), ODCC (Open Data Center Committee), and Open19 and is compliant with their technical standards and protocol specifications.[14][15][16]
