History
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 [1]. 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.
Financial Times Germany wrote on 16.03.2009: ..."Inspur International, eine Tochter der Inspur Gruppe, ist seit 2004 an der Börse in Hongkong gelistet. 2005 stieg Microsoft als strategischer Investor mit 25 Millionen US-Dollar ein und begann eine umfangreiche Kooperation mit dem führenden chinesischen IT- Unternehmen in Dienstleistungen und Software Outsourcing...."
In April 2009 Inspur announced it will team up with leading virtualization software developer VMware Inc. to launch a laboratory for the research and development of cloud computing technologies and related products. [2]
In August 2009, Inspur acquired the Xi'an-based research and development facilities of Qimonda AG for 30 million Chinese yuan (around US$4 million).[2][3] The centre had been responsible for design and development of Qimonda's DRAM products.[3]
In November 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 33.3% stake.[4]
