Providing Integrated IT infrastructures with a focus on 5G-related solutions

Quanta Cloud Technology (QCT), a global data center solution provider and a subsidiary of Quanta Computer Inc., which is known for personal computers (PC) manufacturing, is reworking its business strategy to capture the Japanese market. This company is building relationships with Japanese telecommunications carriers and is aiming to use that for future expansion. We spoke with QCT President Mike Yang about his upcoming strategies.

-Q: How much attention is focused on high-performance servers that support generative AI (artificial intelligence) processing?

-A: High-performance servers required to process generative AI workloads are mainly targeted at large-scale data centers. In the enterprise market, on which our company is focused, the emphasis is being placed more on DX (Digital Transformation). In that area, the high-performance servers needed to process generative AI such as ChatGPT (USA Open AI) are not necessarily required. However, the attitude enterprises are having towards generative AI is definitely starting to undergo changes.

-Q: Why do you prioritize the enterprise sector?

-A: This is because various companies are accelerating their efforts toward DX. IT infrastructures are essential to the realization of DX, and effective utilization of AI also contributes to strengthening a company’s competitiveness. QCT not only has hardware such as servers, but also software that utilizes AI to support the realization of DX. Our greatest strength is our "All under one roof" (Everything in one place) capability to provide IT infrastructure-related solutions. To that note, we also have the technical ability and experience to do so.

Over the past three years, the pandemic caused by the Coronavirus has accelerated the transformation of companies towards DX. There have also been advancements in the application of AI to the cloud, presenting significant business opportunities in the enterprise sector.

-Q: How do you perceive the Japanese market?

-A: While Japanese companies have their own different company culture, changes are occurring worldwide, including the emergence of generative AI and technological advancements in products, solutions, and more. Naturally, Japanese companies will need to adapt to these changes, and that’s where our integrated solutions will become helpful. Currently, we are rebuilding our Japanese team in anticipation of the post-pandemic market environment to address these changes.

-Q: What is your business strategy for capturing the Japanese market?　

-A: We have collaborated with companies such as Rakuten and KDDI in the past. They not only have data centers in Japan but are also putting a lot of effort into developing their own 5G-related infrastructures. We believe there is significant room for us to contribute to in these areas. Therefore, we have prioritized our expansion efforts in 5G-related solutions.

Companies in Japan are also starting to establish their own private clouds, creating business opportunities for us in terms of building the IT infrastructure required for such private cloud services. As mentioned earlier, the trend of enterprises utilizing AI is expected to become even more active, allowing us to leverage our competitive advantages. By rebuilding our team in Japan, we aim to demonstrate our presence and expand our business in Japan.
