Inspur, formerly named Langchao, (浪潮 in Chinese, means "tides") is a Chinese computer technology company famous for its PC server and software products.
Inspur's manufacturing base and R&D center is located in Jinan, Shandong Province. Its business activities include server manufacturing and software development. The company also acts as an outsourcing recipient for both the United States of America and Japan. The company's most important product is server hardware.
As recently as 2000, Inspur was a local company based in Shandong, with its business activities spanning North China. The company later moved its marketing center to Beijing, the IT industry hub of China, and expanded its operations to the national level.
In June 2005, it was reported that Microsoft had invested 20 million US$ in the company. And on 18 April 2006, the company switched its name from "Langchao" to "Inspur" in hopes it would increase its sales from overseas markets by as much as thirty percent by 2010.
