This study presents our adjusted worldwide and regional forecasts through 2019. Public cloud service providers continue their hyperscale deployment march as both large and midsize service providers expand their datacenter footprints to meet growing cloud services demand, led by cloud hosting services. As we look forward over the next few years, server demand will continue to see aggressive hyperscale growth, as well as interrelated greenfield opportunities attached to Internet of Things (IoT) solutions. As IoT grows, generating increasing amounts of data, network traffic, and demand for real-time analytics, new server designs and new methods of deploying compute capability will continue the transformation of the server market deep into the 3rd Platform.
