(AOF) – 2CRSi, designer and manufacturer of high-performance energy-efficient computer servers, and the company Vates (open source software publisher specializing in secure virtualization) wanted to deepen their collaboration by proposing a joint commercial offer which will be deployed from from October 2023. This partnership constitutes a strong response to companies wishing to deploy high-performance servers with an already integrated virtualization layer and seeking ultra accessibility without sacrificing performance and environmental requirements.
This involves the collaboration of the Research and Development departments and technical experts of the two entities, resulting in a global server+license offer labeled Vates/2CRSi.
This solution competes with the offers of American leaders, both through its sovereignty and its remarkable economic attractiveness.
It also responds to a growing need for certification attesting to the optimal and continuous operation of equipment and their applications.

New historic decline in computer sales
After having already suffered a sharp decline last year, the market is faced with demand which remains weak. Supply suffers from excess inventory, which impacts prices. According to IDC, PC sales fell by another 29% in the first quarter, falling to less than 57 million units. This is much less than the 59.2 million devices sold over the same period in 2019, before Covid. Demand is down for individuals and businesses, which have equipped themselves with the rise of teleworking. The continued rise in interest rates in the United States and Europe, and its impact on inflation, is also detrimental. Among market leaders, Lenovo, Dell and Asus posted volume declines of more than 30%. HP recorded sales down 24%. Apple faced the biggest drop, with sales collapsing by more than 40% year-on-year. The Californian group could suffer from its rather high-end positioning.
