Default Microsoft starts selecting its own components

Let down by suppliers

Software king of the world, Microsoft is sourcing the parts for its servers itself rather than relying on its ODM partners.


According to Digitimes, Vole has always let its ODM partners choose the component suppliers, but has been worried about the quality it has been getting.
Microsoft's latest move follows similar changes to the component supplier selection processes at Google, Facebook and Amazon, the sources said.
Vole was the last to start appointing its own component suppliers. The others have seen it as a way of getting their costs down by having component suppliers to compete for orders. But Microsoft has been worried about potential defects in the servers and having more control over the quality which has been going under the tin lid.
