ILM concept of competing
Who is the inventor of integrated circuit has an interesting history. July 1958, not to leave empty Kilby at Texas Instruments plant in its own research work in integrated circuits to make the world's first integrated circuit. February 6, 1959, he patented with the U.S. Patent Office. Because of strict review process, until five years later, in June 1964, his patent was approved. Kilby invented the integrated circuit, however, that the news, Fairchild's immediate meeting to discuss countermeasures Neuss, after working in a tense trial, in July 1959, Noyce applied to the U.S. Patent Office, “Semiconductor device - connecting structure, “the patent. And in April 1961 be approved before the rush at Kilby.
In 1962, Texas Instruments, the Court of Appeal to the United States Patent filed suit against Fairchild infringement of their patents. Finally, the Court of Noyce's interconnect different grounds, decide there is no patent infringement issues. In 1966, two with the Franklin Institute Balandin received medals. In this way, both technically and legally, the industry recognized the integrated circuit is a “same invention.”
Do not think Kilby is unjust, let us suppose that, even without Noyce, Kilby again later if some of the invention of integrated circuits, he would probably not enjoy the honor of the inventor of integrated circuit - other engineers will immediately connected with a technical solution to the problem the invention integrated circuit, because of technical possibilities, the invention of integrated circuits have been ready to come out at that time, Noyce called it “a ripe, ripened fruit of the inevitable.”
This is the early development of information industry in the history of the story. Today, the information industry maturing, competition in the information industry in the long alienation, the underlying R & D competition in almost no suspense, many areas in the rest, who proved adept at technology companies often use other people than the technology can be a pioneer better get all the market's high profits. Technology competition often give product competition, more complex, with the information industry to “service economy”, product competition, there is a high correlation in the concept of competitive tendencies. I do not know since when, the information industry has become a “first philosophy” of the industry. The patent competition, the concept of intellectual property rights are common up and fight.
Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) is a storage area since last year, an idea suddenly heated up. If you go to the store this year with the exhibition or conference, you will find EMC, HP, Hitachi, StorageTek and other professional or involved in almost all storage vendors are talking about the “information lifecycle management,” but very few people Tracing the source of the ILM. StorageTek recently came out and said, ILM is not a “common industry terms,” but rather an exclusive first proposed the idea of StorageTek, StorageTek is the “information lifecycle management” for trademark protection. This immediately led to a criticism I would have been “dedicated to ILM” of EMC that StorageTek will be “information lifecycle management,” the practice of a registered trademark of the term industry trends similar to trade mark application, like Ford Motor Company attempts to “SUV” (SUV) as a registered trademark of ridiculous. ILM has just announced plans for HP, said their research shows that this statement back in 1996 there will be a.
At the recent “StorageTek storage technology and services companies” set up the press conference, a reporter asked about the matter, StorageTek CEO Pat Martin, president shook his head helpless smile. Martin said that the first introduction of this concept is indeed StorageTek, his first meeting in 2002, first proposed the “data life cycle management”, then it will be replaced by the information data, information lifecycle management will be spread throughout the storage industry. Interestingly, although the various definitions similar to the ILM, but the implementation of specific solutions, the last was settled in their existing products and services, or the ILM as an inherent meaning to the previously classified The overall concept of the proposed. The implication is, I invented a bottle, the result was we brought the old wine sold Sheng. This is reminiscent of IBM who invented the “e” (e-business), and spent 300 million U.S. dollars in promotion fees, but not registered as trademarks, all companies today are using “e-commerce.”
History will judge these differences generally, if the information industry is sometimes necessary to promote the concept, then the current relatively fast rate of development for the entire storage industry, recognition of such a high idea of how to become a leading development of the industry direction standard is more important. Now that although talking about ILM, but the selling of products and services is not so common grounds, ILM is also still a fledgling concept, define the concept of the author than the more intense and more long-range competition has just begun. In addition, the concept of mature mature markets can not be separated, often ideas on the right to speak does not mean the gain or loss on the market, 3C integration of speculation for a long time, but also recognized the trend, but “Venus program” even taking today still seem to be too far ahead of the first to carry the service banner IBM already reaping real money.
