The product can help government and enterprise organizations improve data storage management performance by more than 50% and reduce hardware cost by at least 40% < p > according to Xu Xin, CEO of star Trina Solar, the V5 series has been developed for one and a half years. The reason why the R & D cycle is extended is to ensure the quality behind innovation < p > "storage often talks about two words, one is' quality 'and the other is' innovation'. Most customers or investors may only focus on innovation, not quality, or even the story behind quality. And 60% of our R & D costs come from quality and 40% from innovation, "Xu Xin said < p > it is understood that the R & D cycle of star Trina Solar is relatively long, and a R & D cycle may take 8-15 months, because there are paper review and rehearsal in the company, and after the rehearsal, it has to run through the process, and then carry out functionalization and productization, with the test cycle even as long as half a year < p > because of this, although star Trina has been established for only six years, it has made good achievements in the field of software definition infrastructure. According to the Research Report of "China's software defined storage market in 2020" released by IDC, xsky has ranked in the top five in the market and is the first of the new it forces in this field At present, star Trina has set up R & D centers in Beijing, Shenzhen and Chengdu, with offices in more than 20 major cities in China. According to Xu Xin, star Trina's largest revenue comes from the financial sector, including banking, insurance, securities companies and trust markets; The second largest customer comes from the government, including not only public security, courts and procuratorates, but also some new institutions, such as the Ministry of natural resources, Department of natural resources, surveying and mapping, Beidou satellite, emergency response and other fields. It is understood that star Trina has many customers in the third and fourth tier sinking market < p > "software defined storage itself is a big pool. In fact, the tower can support more than 90% of the whole scene. What it is discussing is a 100 billion port." Xu Xin thinks < p > as for the listing plan, Xu Xin said that this year he will also focus on product technology iteration and customer accumulation, but this topic is very open（ Quiet) < / P > < p > < / P > < p > the following is part of the media interview with Xu Xin, CEO of star Trina Solar. < / P > < p > I. about star Trina Solar < / P > < p > question: the production route of star Trina Solar from 2015 to 2017 is very clear. Why did it start to do storage market in 2018? The traditional market and SDS market are relatively vague. Can you tell us what ambiguity means? In 2019, we launched the all-in-one machine. Because xsky is a representative enterprise in SDS, star Trina now starts to make all-in-one machine. Does this represent the trend of the whole industry? Are we going from soft to hard Xu Xin: what you said is particularly good. We focused on storage in 2015. In fact, the R & D cycle of storage is relatively long. Why is the R & D cycle relatively long? In fact, it is also responsible for customers. The most terrible thing about storage is that the data is broken and lost. It's unimaginable that an insurance company has lost all its insurance policies and medical records of a hospital. So we can't iterate as fast as the Internet app. It doesn't matter if we flash back and launch a new version < p > storage often has two words, one is "quality" and the other is "innovation". In fact, for most of our customers, investors may only focus on innovation, not quality. Quality is the thing behind it. 60% of our R & D costs come from quality and 40% from innovation. First of all, if China can make storage available and core assets, then we can talk about what innovation you have. This is a core issue < p > therefore, our R & D cycle is relatively long. It may take 8 to 15 months for a R & D cycle. We have internal paper review and then go to the rehearsal. The rehearsal is to run through the process and may not have any function. Then it is functionalization and productization, and the test cycle may be half a year, and then it will be pushed to customers < p > today, our V5 has been developed for a year and a half, and we just released it today. But in V4 last year and V3 the year before last, we were rolling. So our first large-scale release was in 2016, and the real commercial scale sales was in 2017. So it seems that we came out to do storage in 2017. In fact, it took us two years to start in 2015. In fact, many manufacturers in Silicon Valley are stealth models. They disappeared after taking the financing, and only came out three years later < p > the second question is, why is it more and more vague? In the past, the market of software defined storage was considered to be a niche market and an independent market. Why is the market of software defined storage? Massive images, audio and video, when it comes to private cloud, we must use software to define storage, because of the large amount of data. But I have so much data. Why do I need software defined storage? It could be an independent market. Some non-traditional markets, such as video surveillance in China, used to be Haikang, Dahua and so on. They are DVR, digital video recorder, 12 cameras with a disk box. Today, software defined storage supports more and more video surveillance, including not only urban video surveillance, but also the magic mirror platform that we cooperate with Telecom in Sichuan, and a large part of street videos in Ya'an and Chengdu. The storage behind is ours < p > what is the new generation of video surveillance like today? Let's take Changshui airport as an example. There are more than 6000 cameras on the floor of terminal T1 and T2 of Changshui airport. More than 6000 cameras are centralized into a large pool of software defined storage through the network cable, because the software defined storage itself is a large pool, which is under unified control. You can see every corner in the monitoring hall. At this time, it's fuzzy. When software defined storage was defined by Gartner, IDC and customers, it was a model used only for private cloud. In the past, the software defined storage was SDS, the traditional storage was called Tess, and the video monitoring was especially called VSS. IDC reports 20 billion on this side and 20 billion on that side separately, and you're blurry. Software definition storage can do anything, so I say it's blurry. In fact, software defined storage can support more than 90% of the whole scene, so it is actually about 100 billion disks < p > thirdly, why did we suddenly release the all-in-one machine in 2019? Is the hardware product not the software definition? I often say that if there is no hardware, if there is no hardware ?
