REDWOOD CITY, Calif., June 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a recently published report from Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, networks, and data center IT industries, server shipments to Cloud data centers surpassed a third of total server shipments in the first quarter of 2016 with Microsoft and Facebook contributing to most of the growth.
"Although server shipments to Cloud data centers grew in strong double digits during the quarter, this growth barely offset weakness in enterprise," said Sameh Boujelbene, Director at Dell'Oro Group. "In looking at server shipments to the top four Cloud data centers (Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Facebook), we found most of the increase was driven by Microsoft and Facebook, while shipments to Google declined year-over-year. We believe this decline is temporary and server shipments to the Top four Cloud providers will accelerate in 2016, compared to 2015."
The report shows that, outside of white box server vendors, traditional vendors, such as Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and Dell, to a lesser extent, benefited from their exposure to Microsoft and Facebook as well as other Tier 2 Cloud data centers.
The report also discusses the new data center buildouts for the top four Cloud providers in 2016. Important factors to the equipment supplier selection process is the geographical location of the data centers.
