IDC acknowledges that in some sectors of the global server market, there is a noticeable shift from buying infrastructure for own use as opposed to paying for computing resources from the data centre and cloud service providers. "We certainly see areas of reduced spending, but this was offset by investments made by large cloud builders and enterprises targeting solutions that support shifting infrastructure needs caused by the global pandemic. Investments in Asia/Pacific were also particularly strong, growing 31% year over year," said Paul Maguranis, senior research analyst, Infrastructure Platforms and Technologies at IDC.
