White Box Server Market Size, Share & Segmentation by Server Type (Rack & Tower, Blade, and Density-Optimized), by Business Type (Data centers, and Enterprise), by Processor Type (x86 Server, and Non-x86 Server), by Regions and Global Market Forecast 2023-2030

Report Scope & Overview:

The White Box Server Market size was valued at USD 13.24 Bn in 2022 and is expected to reach USD 46.15 Bn by 2030, and grow at a CAGR of 16.89% over the forecast period 2023-2030.

A white box server is a computer construction seen in big data centers. White Box Servers are a collection of hardware assembled at random from the market and are not associated with any brand. White box servers are primarily data centers, which are frequent in large organizations. It is the responsibility of ODMs to manufacture/supply such servers. ODMs create the server precisely depending on the changes desired by the customers/buyers. It is often produced by combining COTS components in various ways to give consumers personalization. It is also possible for a corporation to build an in-house white box server utilizing widely available retail computer parts. Windows Server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux, as well as visualization software, can be used on the white box servers.

White Box Servers are advantageous for large organizations since they save money and are simple to maintain and offer technical support. Customizations, simplicity of maintenance, and support are all advantages of employing white box servers, which ensure high availability and reduce the chance of unexpected downtime. White box servers come in a variety of form factors, including rack and tower servers, blade servers, and density-optimized servers. Different operating systems, such as Linux and Windows, are used to run these high-tech servers. These servers are mostly found in data centers and OEMs.

MARKET DYNAMICS:

KEY DRIVERS:

• The white box server industry is being driven by low cost and a great degree of customization.

• End-user acceptance of white box servers is growing.

• The number of data centers is increasing.

• Adoption of Open Platforms such as Open Compute Project, Project Scorpio, and others is increasing.

RESTRAINTS:

• The enterprise company suffers as a result of ODMs' weak service and support capabilities and a lack of channel partner expertise.

OPPORTUNITY:

• Data centers’ need for micro servers is increasing.

• ARM CPUs are gaining popularity in the white box server industry.

CHALLENGES:

• OEMs are entering the bespoke server industry.

IMPACT OF COVID-19:

The COVID-19 epidemic has had a massive influence on people's lives all around the world. Every firm must fight on two fronts—health and economic—and must weather this period of forced recession. With the global economic crisis costing trillions of dollars, there is widespread concern that the recovery phase may last far into early next year. The coronavirus or COVID-19 illnesses wreaked havoc on practically every country on the planet. Several production operations were shut down during the lockout, resulting in massive losses for the industry. The technical move toward cloud-based services and reliance on data centers has also fueled the expansion of the white box server industry.

MARKET ESTIMATION:

In 2021, the rack and tower server sector will dominate overall sales. The deployment of rack and tower servers in traditional IT environments has contributed to the segment's growth. Furthermore, these servers provide the appropriate degree of performance for IT activities while being substantially less expensive than other server types, which is expected to help the sector maintain dominance during the projected period. Furthermore, during the projected period, the density-optimized server category is predicted to have the greatest CAGR. The segment's expansion may be ascribed to the rising usage of bespoke, high-density servers in hyper-scale data center facilities, which provide great performance, improved energy efficiency, and the ability to manage huge server loads.

In 2021, the white box server market was led by the x86 segment. It is expected to hold its position until 2028. Over the last few decades, x86 architectures and TCP/IP networking protocols have been the usual norm, providing end customers with cheaper and more server alternatives. The market for non-x86 servers is expected to grow at a faster CAGR during the projected period as IT infrastructures become more agile and install bespoke applications to accommodate varied corporate demands. The segment's growth will be fueled by rising demand for virtualization, containerization, and increased power efficiency.

Datacenters were the most important business type category, accounting for the bulk of total revenue in 2021. The brisk digital revolution is increasing demand for data centers that can handle large amounts of data and serve a wide range of applications and devices. To accommodate evolving customer demands, data center operators use a variety of hardware and software solutions. White box servers can be a less expensive option that also offers a high degree of flexibility, making them an ideal fit for evolving business requirements while preserving IT expenditures.
