ODMs clear winners in the shift to cloud

Synergy Research Group (SRG) says worldwide spend on data centre hardware and software grew by 4% from 2019, thanks to a 22% jump in spending on public cloud infrastructure, which pushed it to an all-time high.

Cloud providers continue to invest heavily in their data centres to satisfy the ever-increasing demand for their services. Meanwhile enterprise spending on their own data centre infrastructure dropped 6% from 2019, with each quarter of 2020 being down substantially from the year before.

ODMs or original design manufacturers in aggregate account for the largest portion of the public cloud market, with Inspur, Huawei and Dell being the leading individual vendors, all having a similar market share in the year.

Rise of ODMs

In terms of growth, Inspur, Huawei and ODMs were clearly the big winners in the year. The 2020 market leaders in enterprise infrastructure were Microsoft and Dell, followed at a distance by HPE, Cisco and VMware.

Total data centre infrastructure equipment revenues, including both cloud and non-cloud hardware and software, were $165 billion in 2020, with public cloud infrastructure accounting for 43% of the total.

The main hardware-oriented segments of servers, storage and networking in aggregate accounted for 77% of the data centre infrastructure market. OS, virtualization software, cloud management and network security account for the balance.

By segment, Dell is the overall leader in server and storage revenues, with Inspur being a clear leader in server sales to public cloud providers. Cisco is dominant in the networking segment, while Microsoft features heavily in the rankings due to its position in server OS and virtualization applications. Outside of these four, the other leading vendors in the market are HPE, Huawei, VMware, Lenovo and IBM.

“The total data centre equipment market continues to grow steadily and we forecast that it will continue to do so over the next five years. However, the mix of spending by public cloud providers and enterprises continues to shift substantially in favour of cloud,” said John Dinsdale, a chief analyst at Synergy Research Group.

“In the server segment of the market, unit shipments to public cloud providers have already surpassed enterprise volumes. Currently, the value of the enterprise server market is still greater due to higher ASPs, but that too will soon change as public cloud server volumes continue to surge.”
