Edianyun updates its prospectus with its subscribing customers increased to 40,000

Leave a comment

BEIJING, Nov. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — As disclosed by Hong Kong Stock Exchange on September 9, Edianyun submitted its listing application to the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange again, with CICC as its sole sponsor. According to the updated prospectus, as of June 30, 2022, Edianyun had approximately 40,000 subscribing enterprise customers and approximately 1.1 million devices under subscription.

Now, the subscription of office IT devices and managed IT services are overwhelmingly affecting the traditional IT purchasing and operation & maintenance mode of enterprises along with the Internet development and urgent digital transformation need.

In short, through subscription of office IT services, enterprises don’t need to purchase IT devices themselves, instead, suppliers provide them with devices as required; and under the managed IT service mode, service providers offer one-stop IT service for customers, solve the IT-related issues for enterprises, which relieves enterprises from the burden of hiring webmaster and IT operation & maintenance personnel. Is the one-stop IT service reliable?

Edianyun’s data is best answer: The company has 40,000 SMEs customers, with its customer increase rate of about 30% for three consecutive years. In the first half of 2022, its customer retention reached 120%.

In just 8 years since its establishment, how did Edianyun accumulate 40,000 customers?

Compared with some “fast food” brands who prefer the fancy marketing approaches, Edianyun is more like a simple or even “dull” science geek who is doing deep-dive research and growing steadily.

Instead of chasing after scale expansion and rapid growth, it pays more attention to self-development.

Edianyun takes the lead in providing office IT integrated solution which composing IT devices pre-installed with operating systems, selected software including, but not limited to, office suite, drivers and anti-virus programs, and its self-developed office IT management tools such as printer auto-configuration programs.

Its integrated solution is just like the “auto focus camera”, with higher tech level and simpler operation. Customers can directly use the computers provided by Edianyun, releasing them from installation and operation troubles. After customers place orders, Edianyun’s one-stop IT service starts immediately, covering delivery and installation of all devices, regular inspections and maintenance throughout life cycle, and even data transfer, backup and wiping out.

Edianyun provides customers with two-hour door-to-door on-site service, and 24/7 remote support by its expert engineers. Its response speed is ten times the market average, and its problem solving rate even exceeds that of enterprises allocated with IT operation and maintenance personnel. The more complex the enterprise customers’ needs become, the more obvious the Edianyun’s advantages are. Therefore, Edianyun continuously increases its customers’ stickiness.

As of December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, and June 30, 2022, we had approximately 21,000, 28,000, 38,000 and 40,000 subscribing enterprise customers, respectively.

After 8 years of development, Edianyun has become the first and largest office IT integrated solution provider in China in terms of revenue, number of devices under service, and remanufacturing capacity. In 2021, it had a market share of 0.6% in the enterprise office IT service industry, and a market share of 19.6% in the office IT integrated solution market.

“Along with the sound momentum of China’s economy and the fiercer competition among enterprises, enterprises should attach greater importance to its main business and follow the trend of outsourcing all their non-core business.” And Edianyun firmly follows this logic in determining its business model.

China.org.cn: What is the “Chinese path to modernization”?

Leave a comment

BEIJING, Oct. 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — A news report by China.org.cn on the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China:

Lately, the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (the Congress) has opened. This meeting is being convened at a critical time as China embarks on a new journey to build itself into a modern socialist country in all respects. One of the key takeaways is the proposal of advancing the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation on all fronts through a Chinese path to modernization.

This is a key takeaway because it represents more than just a goal for China’s development in the new era; it clearly points out the path that China, the world’s most populous country, chooses to take towards modernization and national rejuvenation.

Firstly, Chinese modernization pursues not only “prosperity”, but also “common prosperity for all”. China’s rapid economic growth in the over 40 years of reform and opening-up has enabled the basic needs of the Chinese people to be largely met. After persistent hard work in the recent decade, close to 100 million poor rural residents have been lifted out of poverty; the issue of absolute poverty in China has been once and for all resolved, and the dream of building a moderately prosperous society has been achieved. The report to the Congress has once again highlighted the importance of advancing rural revitalization across the board; improving the system of income distribution, implementing the employment-first strategy, and improving the social security system including elderly care, medical care and housing, so as to substantially grow the middle-income group as a share of the total population, guarantee equitable access to basic public services, and ensure modern living standards of living in rural areas by 2035. China has included the pursuit of common prosperity for all in its journey of modernization.

Secondly, Chinese modernization is one of material and cultural-ethical advancement, of harmony between humanity and nature. China pursues significant increase in economic strength, scientific and technological strength, and comprehensive national strength, while stressing the importance of advancing the “Beautiful China” initiative, accelerating the transition to a model of green development, and working actively and prudently toward the goals of reaching peak carbon emissions and carbon neutrality. China also underscores the improvement and development of whole-process people’s democracy, enrichment of the people’s cultural lives and so on. The path China chooses is one of more comprehensive, sustainable and high-quality development.

What’s more, China does not achieve modernization through colonization or invasion, nor will it seek hegemony or expansion in the future. Chinese modernization is one of peaceful development. In my opinion, the core lies in “openness”, “cooperation” and “sharing”. China keeps its door open, builds the “Belt and Road” with other countries, and strives to promote trade and investment liberalization and facilitation; it is committed to supporting and assisting other developing countries in accelerating development, and to building a human community with a shared future. The modernization process of China is also part of the journey of humanity’s common progress and development.

For centuries, countries all around the world have been exploring and striving for modernization. Building China into a great modern socialist country in all respects and realizing the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is a wish of the Chinese people. China’s path to modernization featuring common prosperity and all-round, coordinated and peaceful development creates a new form of human advancement, which will contribute to building an even better world.

Veritas Introduces Veritas Alta: The Industry’s Most Comprehensive Cloud Data Management Platform

Leave a comment

Empowers customers to accelerate their transition to cloud without sacrificing control over data protection, application resiliency, or data compliance

SINGAPORE, Oct. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ —  Veritas Technologies, a leader in multi-cloud data management, today advanced its Autonomous Data Management strategy with the launch of Veritas Alta, a cloud data management platform that helps enterprises transition mission-critical workloads to the cloud. Alta harnesses the benefits of the cloud to reduce costs, strengthen ransomware resiliency, and ensure data is protected, available, and compliant. Veritas also introduced Veritas Alta View, a cloud-based management console that provides a unified view and control of the entire data estate—across edge, data center, and cloud—from a single pane of glass.


The rise of multi-cloud creates a transformative infrastructure and application development platform for enterprises. However, customers own the security, protection, compliance, and availability of their data within the cloud as part of a shared responsibility model with the cloud service provider (CSP). Tools offered by CSPs deliver basic functionality, but mission-critical applications require enterprise-grade capabilities, optimized cost management and cross-cloud data mobility and visibility.

Andy Ng, Vice President and Managing Director for Asia South and Pacific Region at Veritas said, “In the current hybrid work model, businesses are exposed to regulatory and compliance risks when they lack full visibility of their sensitive and business-critical data that is stored across different locations, with the growing use of cloud services. With more than 30 years in enterprise-class data management innovation, our approach to multi-cloud will help to address the unique needs of the cloud for our customers across the region. Veritas Alta advances our mission to empower customers to own and control their data no matter where it resides—on-prem or in the cloud—while reducing the operational complexity and costs associated with managing multi-cloud environments.”

Veritas Alta: Ultimate Control in the Cloud

Veritas Alta delivers a unified cloud data management platform that provides the broadest array of enterprise-class data services in the industry and brings together the entire cloud portfolio from Veritas.

Veritas Alta focuses on three key areas:

  • Data protection with unmatched ransomware resiliency: Veritas Alta data protection and recovery is powered by Cloud Scale Technology, Veritas’ cloud-native architecture, and provides customers a choice of consumption models, including as-a-Service. It combines automation, artificial intelligence, and an elastic architecture to deliver the most secure, autonomous, and cost-effective cloud data protection available. Together with Alta View, customers can protect and control their data across any environment, on or off premise, through a single pane of glass.
  • Application resiliency that delivers up to five nines availability: Veritas Alta application resiliency brings enterprise-class availability to the cloud, enables application portability across clouds, and optimizes storage consumption at up to 50% less cost and 200% greater performance versus comparable solutions.
  • Data compliance to illuminate and remediate information risks: Veritas Alta data compliance as-a-Service empowers enterprises to capture data from all communication platforms and automate content classification, reducing operational complexity and allowing customers to capture everything, archive anywhere, and discover what matters.

Veritas Alta View: Control Data Anywhere

Veritas Alta View provides a cloud-based management console that allows customers to manage their entire data protection estate, on-prem and in the cloud, from a single pane of glass. Rather than oversee multiple solutions for disparate on-prem and cloud workloads, customers can leverage a single management console for data in any location across multiple domains.

Veritas Alta View integrates the Veritas analytics engine to provide customers with complete reporting, actionable insights, and a full view of their cybersecurity posture across their entire data estate. It harnesses AI and machine learning to drive autonomous data management actions, freeing the IT team to focus on transformational activities. With the Veritas analytics engine, customers have reduced their IT management costs by 90%, and realized a 28% reduction in IT resources consumed in the cloud.

Christophe Bertrand, practice director at Enterprise Strategy Group, said, “Organizations are often confused about their data protection SLAs when they move their data and/or applications to the cloud, and may think that their responsibility to ensure the protection of these digital assets is somehow mitigated or just the vendor’s responsibility.  The reality is much different:  the data is in fact always the organization’s responsibility.  In a multi-cloud environment, which is becoming the norm, this data protection disconnect can easily become exacerbated, in particular when organizations use many different and poorly orchestrated data protection and data management mechanisms.  Limiting the number of standalone, bolt-on solutions is much needed, which is the challenge that Veritas is taking on with its Alta unified management platform.”

About Veritas 

Veritas Technologies is a leader in multi-cloud data management. Over 80,000 customers—including 95 percent of the Fortune 100—rely on Veritas to help ensure the protection, recoverability, and compliance of their data. Veritas has a reputation for reliability at scale, which delivers the resilience its customers need against the disruptions threatened by cyber-attacks, like ransomware. No other vendor is able to match Veritas’ ability to execute, with support for 800+ data sources, 100+ operating systems, 1,400+ storage targets, and 60+ clouds through a single, unified approach. Powered by Cloud Scale Technology, Veritas is delivering today on its strategy for Autonomous Data Management that reduces operational overhead while delivering greater value.

Enabling workload optimization for computing and storage from cloud to edge

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Wiwynn (TWSE: 6669), an innovative cloud IT infrastructure provider for data centers, announced to exhibit of its technology building blocks for cloud and edge computing, which are designed and inspired by Open Compute Project (OCP) at the OCP Global Summit 2022.

Wiwynn will present multiple platform technologies to address the diverse demand for the balanced core to memory and core to IO. Wiwynn offers unmatched computing power with the 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors based SV7000G5 for the cloud, while EP102 is for the edge. On the other hand, AMD and Ampere-based solutions are ready for high-core-count cloud applications. In addition, SV600G2 is designed with OAM-based Habana® Gaudi®2 to provide extraordinary AI training throughput performance.

On storage, Wiwynn will showcase the upcoming SV7000G4 (OCP Grand Canyon). This versatile storage can be configured for warm or cold storage usage. The upgraded Broadcom SAS-4 24Gbps interface doubles the interconnection bandwidth and ensures high throughput for demanding storage access.

Wiwynn also actively participates in OCP working groups of hardware management, Open System Firmware (OSF), Open Accelerator Infrastructure (OAI), and advanced cooling solutions. Wiwynn will exhibit the innovative Datacenter Secure Control Module (DC-SCM) and the advanced memory technology Compute Express Link (CXL). For open firmware, Wiwynn successfully implemented OSF on OCP Yosemite V3 Server with Meta, Intel and 9elements last year and will showcase the latest OSF implementation progress for the next-generation OCP Yosemite system this time.

To confront the rising ASIC power and the urge for sustainable data centers, Wiwynn continues to invest in advanced thermal solutions with air, cold-plate, and immersion cooling. The cold-plate liquid cooling solution for OAI server, developed with OCP OAI Cooling Group for future OAM, will be showcased. There will be a live demonstration of two-phase immersion cooling, collaborated by Wiwynn, 3M, and LiquidStack.

“We are committed to the vibrant OCP community and excited to see it thriving. In addition to the exhibition, we will also present our advanced technology achievements in Engineering Workshops, Experience Center, and Future Technologies Symposium. We expect to ignite more innovations through the open discussion and contribute to the sustainable and highly efficient data centers,” said Emily Hong, Wiwynn’s Vice Chairman and CEO.

Leave a comment

SINGAPORE, Oct. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Veritas, a leader in multi-cloud data management, has announced a significant investment in its go-to-market strategy across its International Region, with the appointment of a new cloud-specialist team focused on Africa, Asia, Europe, Middle East and Pacific. Lead by Mark Shephard, International Cloud Sales Leader, and Paul Hollebon, International Cloud Pre-sales Leader, the team of sales and technical-sales specialists will support Veritas’ new and existing customers as they look to expand their data management provision across new and complex cloud environments and move to Autonomous Data Management.

The new team will include Vic Ciencia and Abhishek Saxena who will be responsible for driving cloud-based activity for Veritas in the Asia South and Pacific region.

Andy Ng, Vice President and Managing Director for Asia South and Pacific Region at Veritas,  said: “The current hybrid working model has been made possible with the adoption of cloud services and use of cloud collaboration tools. However, businesses are playing catch-up with the post-pandemic work practices to manage the soaring volumes of data created across different cloud storage locations. The additional support provided by the new cloud-specialist team would help our customers and partners across the Asia South and Pacific region to optimise cloud footprint and costs, and keep data safe from threats such as ransomware.”

Mark Shephard, International Cloud Sales Leader at Veritas, said: “Organisations everywhere have accelerated their adoption of cloud-based collaboration solutions, doubling down on multi-cloud initiatives to meet immediate business demands. This has paved the way for complex hybrid infrastructures that delivered on accessibility, flexibility and scalability but has introduced governance challenges and ballooning costs as data becomes increasingly siloed across environments. Our new cloud-specialist team is here to help Veritas customers address those challenges with a diversity of insights in addressing data management challenges from edge to core to cloud.”

Shephard’s own experience is built on 25 years as a leader in the IT sector, driving success at companies such as Zscaler, Symantec and Barclays. His most recent role before joining Veritas was at Amazon Web Services, where he led an international team of 40 to support global customers. A Veritas employee earlier in his career, Shephard returns to the company having augmented his significant data management prowess with ten years of cloud experience.

Paul Hollebon, International Cloud Pre-sales Leader at Veritas, said: “Veritas is committed to the path of freeing our customers from the operational burden of data management. Autonomous Data Management, powered by the cloud, will bring value to existing and new customers looking to complement their internal teams’ routines with technology that provides an autonomous approach to data protection, secondary data management and archiving across the multi-cloud data estate. Providing coherent technical guidance aligned to a customer’s cloud vision is what this team is here to do.”

Hollebon joins Veritas from Commvault, where he led the EMEA Field Advisory Services Team, an international group of specialists that provided advanced technical presales support for Commvault’s largest and most strategic customers in some 20+ countries.

With 20 years’ experience in the IT industry, Hollebon has also led pre-sales and specialist teams at Dell EMC in the Netherlands, enabling a breadth of digital transformation initiatives across data management, virtualisation and infrastructure solutions.

The Veritas cloud-specialist team is in place today and supporting customers and partners across the region.
