devices, establishes connection with the data center using remote access<br />
management protocols, and utilizes the data center's powerful computation and<br />
storage capabilities to perform any complex task or daily, regular calculations.<br />
This arrangement facilitates users and corporations to deliver extensively<br />
complex processing of massive data at the maximum effectiveness and lowest<br />
costs.<br />
“Cloud” suppliers construct hardware infrastructure and effectively integrates<br />
with software into a working platform. Combined with various solutions<br />
offered by software suppliers, these services can be leased to corporations<br />
across many industries for a fee. By leasing clouds, corporations can effectively<br />
reduce their cost of data center establishment and maintenance; they can even<br />
retrieve products or services that these clouds provide over the Internet and<br />
deliver them immediately into ultra portable electronic devices at the client’s<br />
end. End consumers can then access products or services rapidly and easily<br />
using handheld devices without being tied to the conventional, heavy electronic<br />
equipment.<br />
<strong>To</strong> respond to the trend of cloud computing, the company spearheaded the<br />
introduction of its Yellow River series in 2009 to offer customers data center<br />
solutions with high performance computing and storage capabilities. Regardless<br />
of publicly owned or privately owned cloud structures, MiTAC is able to satisfy<br />
the customers' every demand. Our hardware platform provides robust support to<br />
customers' goals toward “Infrastructure as a Service” (IaaS). In addition to the<br />
Yellow River series, the company will continue broadening its product lines and<br />
introducing hardware platforms customized for the cloud computing<br />
environment.<br />
d. Container server rooms: the concept of container server room complements<br />
cloud computing in the way that it helps service providers build more efficient,<br />
more stable, and more environmentally friendly hardware platforms, thereby<br />
reducing overall operating costs. <strong>To</strong> accommodate the trend of sustainable<br />
business growth on planet Earth while improving operational efficiency and<br />
cost reduction, the company is collaborating with upstream and downstream<br />
manufacturers for the research, development, and design of container server<br />
room related products in the hope of offering high performance yet low-cost<br />
container data center solutions that meet the latest environmental regulations.<br />
