Inspur is one of the world's largest server vendors and holds multiple IEEE-verified blocks across several registrants: MA-L 04:31:10 and C0:A6:6D (Inspur Group Co., Ltd.), BC:20:BA (Inspur (Shandong) Electronic Information Co., Ltd), C8:B4:AB (Inspur Computer Technology Co.,Ltd.), C8:EF:BC (Inspur Communication Technology Co.,Ltd.), and 5C:B4:E2 (Inspur Software Group Ltd.), plus MA-S 8C:1F:64:45:A0/36 (Inspur Digital Enterprise Technology Co., Ltd.) and MA-M D8:86:0B:00/28 (Inspur Group Co., Ltd.). These OUIs appear on rackmount servers, storage systems, AI/GPU servers, cloud/datacenter hardware, and edge servers. On the regulatory side, stated factually: the U.S. Department of Commerce BIS added Inspur Group Co., Ltd. to the Entity List effective 2023-03-02 (88 FR 13673, published 2023-03-06), citing acquisition of U.S.-origin items in support of China's military modernization; on 2025-03-25 BIS added six further Inspur entities (including Inspur (Beijing) Electronic Information Industry, Inspur Electronic Information Industry, Inspur Electronic Information (Hong Kong), Inspur (HK) Electronics, Inspur Software, and Inspur Taiwan). The key analyst point is that an Inspur OUI strongly indicates a server/storage/datacenter asset, and in U.S.-regulated environments such hardware should be flagged for compliance review — stated neutrally.

- Analyst note
- An Inspur OUI strongly indicates a server/storage/datacenter asset. Given the Entity List status, asset-discovery teams in U.S.-regulated environments should flag Inspur-OUI hardware for compliance review (procurement/export-control implications), stated neutrally.
