NEW DELHI, September 27th, 2017 - The overall server market in India witnessed a year-over-year (YOY) increase of 60 percent in terms of revenue to reach $304.6 million in Q2 2017 versus $190.4 million in Q2 2016, according to the latest IDC Asia Pacific excluding Japan (APEJ) Quarterly Server Tracker, Q2 2017. The x86 server market accounted for 91.1 percent of the overall server revenue during Q2 2017, with growth being majorly driven by spending from captive and outsourced data centers and public cloud service providers.

During Q2 2017, the market witnessed a growth in non-x86 market, after continuous revenue decline for two quarters. However, it’s interesting to see, the reciprocation from the non-x86 platform providers towards increasing x86 market, which is gaining traction from end-users for deploying applications and workloads on x86 platforms. The x86 server market in terms of revenue witnessed a YOY growth of 67.6 percent to reach $277.5 million in Q2 2017 up from $165.6 million during Q2 2016.

The major demand of third party datacenters comes from the Banking, Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI) sector. Apart from these traditional sectors, third party data centers are also witnessing demands from Government projects and their digitalization efforts. Rack and Density optimized servers that are mostly preferred for running IT and digital transformation workloads, gained traction, accounting together for YOY growth of 70.1 percent, in terms of revenue for Q2 2017 compared to Q2 2016.

The non x86 server market grew by 9.3 percent YOY in terms of revenue to reach $27.1 million in Q2 2017. In terms of revenue, HPE leads the market, accounting for 38.9 percent of market share, followed closely by IBM with its share of 36.7 percent during Q2 2017. In non x86 server market, banking industry continues to dominate and contributes for 65.1 percent of the revenue, followed by utility, manufacturing, telecommunication and professional services verticals.
