Server And Storage Spending Growth Looks Rosy Out To 2027
The Next Platform, Wednesday, February 7th, 2024
For a market that is so integral to the global economy, it sure is hard to get a complete dataset on quarterly and annual spending on information technology. We try to gather up all of the information we can find and flesh it out where we can so you can see trends and see how what you are buying or what you are selling or what you are investing in pans out as time goes by.
We like feeds and speeds, but we like dollars and sense, too.
The latest datacenter infrastructure spending track from IDC is out for the third quarter of 2023, and its forecast for all of 2023 allow us to take a pretty good stab at figuring out what spending on servers and storage looked like in the final quarter of 2023. (It's just the addition of three numbers quarterly subtracted from the bigger annual forecast. It's not rocket science, and we know because we studied rocket science.)
