White Box Server Market by Form Factor (Rack & Tower, Blade, Density-Optimized), Business Type (Data Centers, Enterprise Customers), Processor (X86, non-X86), Operating System (Linux, Windows, UNIX), and Geography - Global Forecast to 2022
“The white box server market expected to grow at a significant rate between 2016 and 2022”
The white box server market was valued at USD 4.59 billion in 2015and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18.6% between 2016 and 2022 to reach USD 14.43 billion by 2022. Low cost and high degree of customization, increasing adoption of white box servers among end users, growing number of data centers, rising adoption of open platforms such as Open Compute Project, Project Scorpio, and so on are some of the factors driving the growth of the white box server market.
“ARM processors gaining attention in the white box server market”
Non-X86 servers include ARM processor-based, power processor-based, Itanium processor -based servers. Cloud servers require a significant amount of energy to keep running, and any technology that saves energy directly cuts down on costs. An ARM-based server is one of the solutions for this concern, so many giant players are attracted to adopt ARM solutions for their clouds.
“Linux operating systems to dominate the white box server market”
More stability, scalability, cost efficiency offer greater adoption of Linux servers among end users particularly data centers.
“APAC to be the fastest-growing market for the white box server during the forecast period”
The growth of the white box server market in APAC is attributed to the increasing presence of cloud service providers in APAC. Hong Kong and Singapore, being strategic locations for the white box server market, presence of giant players such as Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (China), Tecent Holdings Ltd. (China), Baidu Inc. (China) which play an important role in the white box server market. Also, players such as Facebook Inc. (U.S), Microsoft Corp. (U.S.), Amazon Web Services Inc. (U.S.), and Google Inc. (U.S.), among many others are increasing their presence in the APAC market which offers enormous opportunities in the white box server market in this region.
