REDWOOD CITY, Calif., March 18, 2020 /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, the worldwide Server and Storage System market is forecast for a modest 1 percent growth in 2020. After the Cloud slowed spending in 2019 to digest excess capacity, the segment is poised for a double-digit expansion this year.

"The weaker-than-projected finish to 2019, mostly attributed to various macroeconomic headwinds which slowed Enterprise spending, is likely to spill into 2020, reducing growth," said Baron Fung, Director at Dell'Oro Group. "The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), whose emergence has been swift and unexpected, could introduce further supply and demand shocks to an already uncertain market, further impacting growth. However, stronger growth is projected for the Cloud server market, as the major Cloud service providers seeks to resume capacity expansion in existing and new data centers," explained Fung.

Additional highlights from the 4Q 2019 Server and Storage Systems Quarterly Report:

The worldwide Server and Storage System market combined for a $100 billion revenue in 2019, a 2 percent annual decline.

White box servers, which are primarily deployed by the Top 4 Cloud service providers, surpassed 1.3 million units in 4Q 2019, an all-time-high.
