Enterprises opting for cloud-based solutions instead of 'traditional' IT offerings
Businesses will spend less on data centre systems this year, than they have spent in the previous ten years. This is according to a new report by Gartner, which says the data centre systems segment is about to experience a 2.8 per cent decrease.
This is mostly because of the lower average selling prices in the server market, which came as a result of the adjustment in the pattern of expected component costs.
However, all things considered, the cloud is still eating away the traditional enterprise IT spending. Cloud-based ‘alternatives’ to traditional offerings are expected to reach $427 billion as a market, up 7.1 per cent, compared to the same period last year, when it hit $399bn.
The largest shift happened in application software, but Gartner believes infrastructure software segment will follow suit sooner, rather than later.
