  • Just Colette, going back to your commentary around Mellanox, it seems like you're guiding the January quarter to about 500 million, which means the core data center business is still growing nicely, call it, 6%, 7% sequentially.

    只是 Colette,回到您對 Mellanox 的評論,您似乎將 1 月季度引導至約 5 億,這意味著核心數據中心業務仍在良好增長,稱其為 6%、7%。

  • I'm just kind of curious when you look at the core data center business, I know there's not a direct correlation to server business, but we're clearly going through a cloud digestion in server and core vertical markets enterprise for servers are weak.

    當您查看核心數據中心業務時,我有點好奇,我知道這與服務器業務沒有直接關係,但我們顯然正在經歷服務器的雲消化,而服務器的核心垂直市場企業很弱。

  • When you look at your core data center business, do you feel as though that's having an impact and this is sort of the digestion that you saw kind of in late fiscal '20 into -- sorry, fiscal '19 into '20, but you're doing it still growing significantly year-over-year?

    當您查看您的核心數據中心業務時,您是否覺得它正在產生影響,這是您在 20 財年後期看到的某種消化——抱歉,從 19 財年到 20 財年,但是您'它仍然在逐年顯著增長嗎?

  • Or how would you characterize the macro backdrop?

    或者你會如何描述宏觀背景?

  • Colette M. Kress - Executive VP & CFO

    Colette M. Kress - Executive VP & CFO

  • Sure.

    當然。

    讓我確保我們也為電話會議上的人澄清。

  • Yes, we expect our Data Center revenue in total to be down slightly quarter-over-quarter.

    是的,我們預計我們的數據中心總收入將環比略有下降。

  • The computing products, NVIDIA computing products, is expected to grow in the mid-single digits quarter-over-quarter as we continue the NVIDIA AI adoption and particularly as A100 continues to ramp.

    隨著我們繼續採用 NVIDIA AI,特別是隨著 A100 的持續增長,計算產品(即 NVIDIA 計算產品)預計將環比增長中個位數。

  • Our networking, our Mellanox networking, is expected to decline meaningful quarter-over-quarter as sales to that China OEM will not recur in Q4, though we still expect the results to be growth of 30% or more year-over-year.

    我們的網絡,我們的 Mellanox 網絡,預計將出現有意義的季度環比下降,因為該中國 OEM 的銷售將不會在第四季度再次出現,儘管我們仍預計結果將同比增長 30% 或更多。

  • The timing of some of this business therefore shifted from Q4 to Q3.

    因此,其中一些業務的時間從第四季度轉移到第三季度。

  • But overall, H2 is quite strong.

    但總體而言,H2 相當強勁。

  • So in referring to overall digestion, the hyperscale business remains extremely strong.

  • Colette captured it very well.

    科萊特很好地捕捉到了它。

  • The only thing I would add is our inference initiative is really gaining great momentum.

    我唯一要補充的是,我們的推理計劃確實獲得了巨大的動力。

  • Inference is one of the hardest computer science problems.

    推理是最難的計算機科學問題之一。

  • Compiling these gigantic neural network computational graphs into a target device is really, really -- has proven to be really, really hard.

    將這些巨大的神經網絡計算圖編譯到目標設備中確實非常非常 - 已被證明非常非常困難。

  • The models are diverse, ranging from vision to language to speech.

    所以推理的壓力真的很大。

  • The technology pressure is really great.

    技術壓力真的很大。

  • And our leadership there is really pulling ahead.

    我們在那裡的領導層確實在向前推進。

  • We're in our seventh generation TensorRT.

    我們是第七代 TensorRT。

    在過去的幾年中,我們開發了一個推理服務器。

  • It's called Triton, has been adopted all over the place.

    它被稱為 Triton,已被各地採用。

  • We have several hundred customers now using NVIDIA AI to deploy their AI services.

    我們現在有數百名客戶使用 NVIDIA AI 來部署他們的 AI 服務。

  • This is the early innings, and I think this is going to be our largest near-term growth opportunity.

    這是早期的一局,我認為這將是我們最大的近期增長機會。

  • So we're really firing on all cylinders there, between the A100s ramping in the cloud, A100s beginning to ramp in enterprise, and all of our inference initiatives are really doing great.

    因此,我們真的在全力以赴,在 A100 在雲中加速,A100 開始在企業中加速,我們所有的推理計劃都做得很好。

    Jen-Hsun Huang - Co-Founder, CEO, President & Director

  • Yes.

    是的。

  • John, that's a good point.

    約翰,這是一個很好的觀點。

  • I mean the -- it's very clear that the inability to go to work is slowing down the adoption of new technology in some of the verticals.

    我的意思是——很明顯,無法上班正在減緩某些垂直行業對新技術的採用。

  • Of course, we're seeing rapid adoption in certain verticals, like for example using AI in health care to rapidly discover new vaccines and early detection of outbreaks and robotic applications.

    當然,我們看到某些垂直領域正在迅速採用,例如在醫療保健中使用人工智能來快速發現新疫苗以及早期發現疫情和機器人應用。

  • So warehouses, digital retail, last mile delivery, we're just seeing just really, really great enthusiasm around adopting new AI, robotics technology.

    因此,倉庫、數字零售、最後一英里交付,我們只是看到對採用新的人工智能和機器人技術的熱情非常非常高。

  • But in some of the old -- some of the more traditional industries, new capabilities and new technologies are slower to deploy.

    但在一些舊的——一些更傳統的行業,新能力和新技術的部署速度較慢。

  • One of the areas that I'm really super excited about is the work that we're doing in the remote work and making it possible for people to collaborate remotely.

    我非常興奮的領域之一是我們在遠程工作中所做的工作,並使人們可以遠程協作。

  • We have a platform called Omniverse.

    我們有一個名為 Omniverse 的平台。

  • It's in early beta.

    它處於早期測試階段。

  • The feedback from the marketplace has been really great.

    來自市場的反饋非常好。

  • And so I've got a lot more to report to you guys in the upcoming months around Omniverse.

    因此,在接下來的幾個月裡,圍繞 Omniverse,我還有很多事情要向你們報告。

  • And so -- but anyways, I think when the industry recover, we serve -- our fundamental purpose as a company is to solve the greatest challenges that impact the industry where ordinary computers can't.

    所以——但無論如何,我認為當行業復甦時,我們會服務——作為一家公司,我們的基本目標是解決普通計算機無法解決的影響行業的最大挑戰。

  • And these challenges are -- serve some of the most important applications in the verticals that we address.

    這些挑戰是——服務於我們解決的垂直領域中的一些最重要的應用程序。

  • And they're not commodity applications.

    它們不是商品應用程序。

  • They're really impactful, needle-moving applications.

    它們是非常有影響力的、針狀移動的應用程序。

  • So I have every confidence that when the industries recover, things will get designed.

    所以我完全有信心,當行業復甦時,事情會得到設計。

  • Cars will be designed, and planes will be designed, and ships will be designed, and buildings will be designed.

  • And we know how many weeks of inventory is in what parts of the channel.

    我們知道渠道的哪些部分有多少週的庫存。

  • We've been draining down the channel inventory for Turing for some time.

    一段時間以來,我們一直在耗盡 Turing 的渠道庫存。

  • And meanwhile, we've also expected a very, very successful launch with Ampere.

    同時,我們也期待與 Ampere 的合作非常非常成功。

  • And even with our bullish demand expectation and all of the Amperes that we built, which is one of the fastest ramps ever, the demand is still overwhelming.

    即使我們看漲的需求預期和我們建造的所有安培,這是有史以來最快的斜坡之一,需求仍然是壓倒性的。

  • And this, I guess in a lot of ways, is kind of expected.

    我想這在很多方面都是意料之中的。

  • The circumstances are -- it's been a decade since we've invented a new type of computer graphics.

    情況是——自從我們發明了一種新型的計算機圖形以來,已經有十年了。

  • 10 years ago, we invented a programmable shader, and it set the industry on a course to create the type of images that we see today.

    10 年前,我們發明了一種可編程著色器,它使行業走上了創建我們今天看到的圖像類型的道路。

  • But it's very clear that the future is going to look something much, much more beautiful, and we invented NVIDIA RTX to do that.

    但很明顯,未來會變得更加美好,我們發明了 NVIDIA RTX 來做到這一點。

  • And it has 2 capabilities, one based on ray tracing, and the other one's based on artificial intelligence image generation.

    它有兩種能力,一種基於光線追踪,另一種基於人工智能圖像生成。

  • The combination of those 2 capabilities is creating images that people are pretty ecstatic about.

    這兩種能力的結合正在創造人們非常欣喜若狂的圖像。

  • And at this point, it's defined the next-generation content.

    在這一點上,它定義了下一代內容。

  • And so when we -- it took us 10 years to invent it.

    所以當我們 - 我們花了 10 年的時間來發明它。

  • We launched it 2 years ago and took our second generation to really achieve the level of quality and performance that the industry really, really expect.

    我們在 2 年前推出了它,並讓我們的第二代產品真正達到了業界真正期待的質量和性能水平。

  • And now the demand is just overwhelming.

    而現在的需求是壓倒性的。

  • And so we're going to continue to ramp fast, and this is going to be one of our most successful ramps ever.

    因此,我們將繼續快速提升,這將是我們有史以來最成功的提升之一。

  • And it gives our installed base of some 200 million-plus GeForce gamers the best reason to upgrade in over a decade.

    它為我們擁有約 2 億多 GeForce 遊戲玩家的安裝基礎提供了十多年來升級的最佳理由。

  • And so this is going to be a very large generation for us is my guess.

    所以這對我們來說將是一個非常大的一代,這是我的猜測。

  • And then with respect to Data Center, we're ramping into A100.

    然後在數據中心方面,我們正在進入 A100。

  • A100 is our first generation of GPUs that does several things at the same time.

    A100 是我們的第一代 GPU,可同時執行多項操作。

  • It's universal.

    它是通用的。

  • We position it as a universal because it's able to do all of the applications that we in the past had to have multiple GPUs to do.

    我們將它定位為通用的,因為它能夠完成我們過去必須擁有多個 GPU 才能完成的所有應用程序。

  • It does training well.

    它的訓練效果很好。

  • It does inference incredibly well.

    它的推理非常好。

  • It does high-performance computing.

    它進行高性能計算。

  • It does data analytics.

    它進行數據分析。

  • And so it's able -- the Ampere architecture is able to do all of this at the same time.

    所以它能夠——Ampere 架構能夠同時完成所有這些工作。

  • And so the utilization for data centers is -- and the utility is really, really fantastic.

    所以數據中心的利用率是——而且這個實用程序真的非常棒。

  • And the reception has been great.

    而且接待非常好。

  • And so we're going to ramp into all of the world's clouds.

    因此,我們將進入世界上所有的雲層。

  • I think starting this quarter, we're now in every major cloud provider in the world, including Alibaba, Oracle, and of course the giants, the Amazons, the Azure and the Google Clouds.

    我認為從本季度開始,我們現在進入了世界上所有主要的雲提供商,包括阿里巴巴、甲骨文,當然還有巨頭、亞馬遜、Azure 和谷歌云。

  • And we're going to continue to ramp into that.

    我們將繼續加大力度。

  • And then of course we're starting to ramp into enterprise, which in my estimation long term will still be the largest growth opportunity for us, turning every industry into an AI, turning every company into AIs and augment it with Al and bringing the iPhone moment to all of the world's largest industries.

    然後當然我們開始進軍企業,在我看來,從長遠來看,這仍然是我們最大的增長機會,把每個行業都變成人工智能,把每家公司變成人工智能,並用人工智能來增強它,並帶來 iPhone世界上所有最大的行業的時刻。

  • And so we're ramping into that, and we're seeing a great deal of enthusiasm.

  • Our outlook also reflects incremental OpEx for Q4 in primarily 2 different areas in terms of compensation and depreciation.

    我們的展望還反映了第四季度主要在補償和折舊兩個不同領域的運營支出增加。

  • And given that our employees are such a material part of our OpEx, it will -- it can be close to 1/14 of the quarter.

    鑑於我們的員工是我們運營支出的重要組成部分,它將——可能接近本季度的 1/14。

  • Now when we look a little bit further, we should think about the incremental positive in both Gaming and Data Center from that extra week as there hopefully will be extra supply, but not likely as much as 1/14 of the quarter of revenue as enterprise demand is essentially project-based and gaming demand though is tied to the number of gamings that -- gamers that might be shopping for the overall holiday.

    現在,當我們看得更遠一點時,我們應該考慮從那額外的一周開始,遊戲和數據中心的增量積極,因為希望會有額外的供應,但不太可能高達企業收入季度收入的 1/14需求本質上是基於項目的,而遊戲需求與遊戲數量相關——可能會在整個假期購物的遊戲玩家。

  • So again, still very hard for us to determine at this time.

    再說一次,我們現在仍然很難確定。

  • Normally, between Q4 and Q1, there is seasonality in Gaming, seasonality downward.

    通常,在 Q4 和 Q1 之間,遊戲存在季節性,季節性下降。

  • But we'll just have to see as we are still supply-constrained within this Q4 to see what that looks like.

    但我們只需要看看,因為我們在第四季度仍然受到供應限制,看看會是什麼樣子。

  • From an OpEx standpoint, we'll probably expect our OpEx to be relatively flattish as we move from Q4 to Q1.

    從運營支出的角度來看,隨著我們從第四季度到第一季度,我們可能會期望我們的運營支出相對持平。

    大多數雲供應商,事實上我相信所有的雲供應商,在他們的內部雲和外部雲中使用相同的基礎設施,或者有能力或在很大程度上這樣做。

  • And there's -- the competition, we find to be really good.

    還有 - 競爭,我們發現非常好。

  • And the reason for that is this.

    原因是這樣的。

  • It just suggests that acceleration -- makes it very clear that acceleration is the right path forward for training and inference.

    它只是表明加速——非常清楚地表明加速是訓練和推理的正確道路。

  • The vast majority of the world's training models are doubling in size every couple of months, and it's one of the reasons where our demand is so great.

    世界上絕大多數訓練模型的規模每兩個月就會翻一番,這也是我們需求如此之大的原因之一。

  • The second is inference.

    二是推理。

  • The vast majority of the world's inference is done on CPUs.

    世界上絕大多數的推理都是在 CPU 上完成的。

  • And nothing is better than the whole world recognizing that the best way forward is to do inference on accelerators.

    沒有什麼比全世界都認識到最好的方法是對加速器進行推斷更好。

  • And when that happens, our accelerator is the most versatile.

    當這種情況發生時,我們的加速器是最通用的。

  • It's the highest performance.

    這是最高的性能。

  • We move the fastest.

    我們行動最快。

  • Our rate of innovation is the fastest because we're also the most dedicated to it.

    我們的創新速度是最快的,因為我們也是最專注的。

  • We're the most committed to it, and we have the largest team in the world to it.

    我們是最致力於它的,我們擁有世界上最大的團隊。

  • Our stack is the most advanced, giving us the greatest versatility and performance.

    我們的堆棧是最先進的,為我們提供了最大的多功能性和性能。

  • And so we see spots of announcement here and there, but they're also our largest customers.

    所以我們在這里和那裡看到公告點,但他們也是我們最大的客戶。

    正如你所知道的,我們在谷歌的發展非常好,我們在亞馬遜、微軟、阿里巴巴和甲骨文等公司的發展也非常好。

  • And so I think the big takeaway is that -- and the great opportunity for us if you look at the vast amount of workload, AI workload in the world, the vast majority of it today is still on CPUs.

    所以我認為最大的收穫是——如果你看看世界上大量的工作負載、人工智能工作負載,這對我們來說是一個很好的機會,今天絕大多數仍然在 CPU 上。

    Mellanox 網絡連接業務同比增長 80%。

  • I think it was up about 13%, 14% sequentially.

    我認為它連續上漲了約 13% 和 14%。

  • And I know there was upside in October from one China customer.

    而且我知道一位中國客戶在 10 月份有上漲空間。

  • But it did grow 70% year-over-year last quarter, and you're still expecting 30% year-over-year growth next quarter.

    但上個季度它確實同比增長了 70%,你仍然預計下個季度同比增長 30%。

  • If I remember correctly, I think InfiniBand is about 40% of that business; ethernet cloud is about 60%.

    如果我沒記錯的話,我認為 InfiniBand 約佔該業務的 40%;以太網雲約為 60%。

  • Jensen, what are the big drivers, especially since we're in the midst of a cloud spending digestion cycle?

    這個升級週期什麼時候開始?

  • Jen-Hsun Huang - Co-Founder, CEO, President & Director

    Jen-Hsun Huang - Co-Founder, CEO, President & Director

  • Yes.

    是的。

  • Let's see.

    讓我們來看看。

  • Our Data Center business consists of supercomputing centers, which is small, High-performance computing was a much larger part of supercomputing, much larger than supercomputing.

    我們的數據中心業務由超級計算中心組成,它很小,高性能計算是超級計算的一個更大的部分,比超級計算大得多。

  • And then hyperscale and enterprise, which -- about 50-50.

    然後是超大規模和企業,大約 50-50。

  • The -- of the Data Center business, the accelerated computing part is not very much associated with digestion and others.

    在數據中心業務中,加速計算部分與消化等相關性不大。

  • It's much more associated with workloads and our new product cycles, the TCO that we bring and AI inference, the type of models that the cloud service providers are deploying, whether they're deploying new AI models based on deep learning, and how much of it that we -- how much of those workloads that we've completed the porting to our accelerators and readying it for deployment.

    它與工作負載和我們的新產品週期、我們帶來的 TCO 和 AI 推理、雲服務提供商正在部署的模型類型、他們是否正在部署基於深度學習的新 AI 模型以及多少我們 - 我們已經完成了多少工作負載移植到我們的加速器並準備好進行部署。

  • And so those are the factors associated with accelerated computing.

    這些就是與加速計算相關的因素。

  • It's really about the apps.

    這真的是關於應用程序。

  • It's really about the workloads and really driven by AI.

    這真的是關於工作負載,並且真的是由人工智能驅動的。

  • On the other hand, the networking part of our business is more connected to CPU business because they're much more broad-based.

    另一方面,我們業務的網絡部分與 CPU 業務的聯繫更緊密,因為它們的基礎更廣泛。

  • The networking part of our business is driven by this idea of new hyperscale data center architecture called disaggregation.

    我們業務的網絡部分是由這種稱為分解的新型超大規模數據中心架構的理念驅動的。

  • It's software disaggregation, not necessarily hardware disaggregation.

    這是軟件分解,不一定是硬件分解。

  • Software disaggregation, where this type of software called Kubernetes orchestrate micro services that are deployed across the data center.

    軟件分解,這種稱為 Kubernetes 的軟件編排跨數據中心部署的微服務。

  • So one service, one application, isn't monolithic running on one computer anymore.

    因此,一項服務、一項應用程序不再單一地運行在一台計算機上。

  • It's distributed across multiple computers and multiple nodes, so that the hyperscale data centers can more easily scale up and scale out according to the workloads and according to the demand on the data center.

    它分佈在多台計算機和多個節點上,因此超大規模數據中心可以更輕鬆地根據工作負載和數據中心的需求進行縱向擴展和橫向擴展。

  • And so this disaggregation has caused the networking between the compute nodes to be of all vital importance.

    因此,這種分解導致計算節點之間的網絡變得至關重要。

  • And because Mellanox is the lowest-latency, highest-performance, highest-bandwidth network that you can get, that the TCO benefit at the data center scale is really fantastic.

    由於 Mellanox 是您可以獲得的最低延遲、最高性能、最高帶寬的網絡,因此數據中心規模的 TCO 優勢確實非常棒。

  • And so when they're building out data centers, Mellanox is going to be much more connected to that.

    因此,當他們建立數據中心時,Mellanox 將與此建立更多聯繫。

  • In the enterprise side of it, depending on new CPU cycles, it could affect them.

    在企業方面,根據新的 CPU 週期,它可能會影響它們。

  • If a CPU cycle were to delay a little bit, it would affect them by a quarter.

    如果一個 CPU 週期延遲一點,它會影響它們四分之一。

  • But if it was a pull-in by a quarter, it would affect them by a pull-in of a quarter.

    但如果它是一個四分之一的拉入,它會影響他們一個四分之一的拉入。

  • And so those are kind of the dynamics of it.

    所以這些就是它的動力。

  • I think that the net-net of it is that it's a foregone conclusion at this point, that AI is going to be the future of the way software is written.

    我認為它的網絡是在這一點上已成定局,人工智能將成為軟件編寫方式的未來。

  • AI is the most powerful technology force of our time, and acceleration is the best path forward.

    人工智能是我們這個時代最強大的技術力量,加速是最好的前進道路。

  • And so that's what drives our computing business.

    這就是推動我們的計算業務的動力。

  • And the networking business has everything to do with the way -- architecture of data centers, cloud data centers, which is architected with micro services now.

    而網絡業務與方式有關——數據中心架構、雲數據中心,現在是用微服務架構的。

  • And that's what foundationally drives their -- our networking business demand.

    這就是從根本上推動他們 - 我們的網絡業務需求的原因。

  • And so we're really well positioned in these 2 fundamental dynamics because, as we know, AI is the future and cloud computing is the future.

    因此,我們在這兩種基本動態中處於有利地位,因為正如我們所知,人工智能是未來,雲計算是未來。

  • If I look at the core business excluding Mellanox, the core data center business, it was up about 6% sequentially the past 2 quarters, and your guidance sort of implies up about that much again in January, which is certainly good under some cloud digestion, but of course you have Ampere still ramping as well, which should be a pretty good tailwind.

    如果我看一下不包括核心數據中心業務 Mellanox 的核心業務,它在過去兩個季度環比增長了約 6%,而你的指導意味著 1 月份再次增長了大約 6%,這在一些雲消化下肯定是好的,但當然你的安培還在加速,這應該是一個很好的順風。

  • So there seems to be some offsetting factors.

    所以似乎有一些抵消因素。

  • So I guess I wonder if you feel like your core data center revenue is still being constrained right now by some market digestion and kind of how you sort of balance or handicap these 2 factors.

  • Long term, every computer in the world will be built like a data center, and every node of a data center is going to be a data center in itself.

    從長遠來看,世界上的每台計算機都將像數據中心一樣構建,數據中心的每個節點本身都將成為數據中心。

  • And the reason for that is because we want the attack surface to be basically 0. And today, most of the data centers are only protected as a periphery.

    這樣做的原因是因為我們希望攻擊面基本上為 0。而今天,大多數數據中心只是作為外圍進行保護。

  • But in the future, if you would like cloud computing to be the architecture for everything and every data center is multi-tenant, every data center is secure, then you're going to have to secure every single node.

    但是在未來,如果你希望雲計算成為一切的架構,並且每個數據中心都是多租戶的,每個數據中心都是安全的,那麼你將不得不保護每個節點。

  • And each one of those nodes are going to be a software-defined networking, software-defined storage, and it's going to have per application security.

    這些節點中的每一個都將是軟件定義的網絡、軟件定義的存儲,並且每個應用程序都將具有安全性。

  • And so the processing that is -- that it will need to offload the CPU is really quite significant.

    因此,需要卸載 CPU 的處理確實非常重要。

  • In fact, we believe that somewhere between 20% to 40% of today's data centers, cloud data centers is the capacity, the throughput, the computational load is consumed running basically the infrastructure overhead.

    事實上,我們認為在今天的數據中心的 20% 到 40% 之間,雲數據中心的容量、吞吐量、計算負載基本上是基礎設施開銷所消耗的。

  • And that's what the DPU is intended -- was designed to do.

    這就是 DPU 的意圖——旨在做的事情。

  • We're going to offload that, number one.

    我們將卸載它,第一。

  • And number two, we're going to make every single application secure.

    第二,我們將確保每一個應用程序的安全。

  • And confidential competing, zero trust computing, that will become a reality.

    和機密競爭、零信任計算,這將成為現實。

  • And so the importance is really quite tremendous.

    所以它的重要性真的非常巨大。

  • And I believe therefore that every single server in the world will have a DPU inside someday just because we care so much about security and just because we care so much about throughput and TCO.

    因此,我相信世界上每台服務器都會有一個 DPU,因為我們非常關心安全性,也因為我們非常關心吞吐量和 TCO。

  • And it's really the most cost-effective way of building a data center.

    這確實是構建數據中心最具成本效益的方式。

  • And so I expect our DPU business to be quite large.

    所以我預計我們的 DPU 業務會非常大。

  • And so that's the reason why we're putting so much energy into it.

  • It's a programmable data center on a chip, think of it that way, a data center infrastructure on a chip.

    在最高級別,科萊特,我認為——可以肯定地說,隨著我們的發展,高速網絡將成為雲數據中心中最重要的事情之一。

  • And the vast majority of the world's data center is still built for the traditional hyper-converged architecture, which is all moving over to micro services-based disaggregate -- software-defined disaggregated architectures.

    而且世界上絕大多數的數據中心仍然是為傳統的超融合架構而構建的,這些架構都在轉向基於微服務的分解——軟件定義的分解架構。

  • And imagine every single transaction, every single transmission inside the data center to be high speed and fully encrypted.

    想像一下,數據中心內的每一筆交易、每一次傳輸都是高速且完全加密的。
