Exploring the Next Potential High Growth HPC Segment: Workgroup Technical Servers An IDC Multiclient Study
Market Sector • Hardware
Research View • Infrastructure Hardware
Study Objective/Methodology:
This study focuses on the lower end of the HPC technical server market, for systems that sell for under $50,000 with a special focus on systems that are the first step beyond a desktop PC or workstation. It is also targeted at new HPC server users/buyers. The study will endeavor to better understand how fast the segment will grow, how vendors can better deliver to user requirements and to create an enhanced market model and forecast for this entry level segment.
The objectives of this study are to learn from where the HPC growth is coming and how it will evolve, including;
What products and services will be required by these buyers.
How the entry level buyers make their purchase decisions and what will drive their purchase selection.
What proportion of entry-level buyers are new to the HPC market.
How different groups of buyers (e.g., new to HPC vs. prior HPC buyers) behave.
Client Value:
The study will help vendors to:
Identify emerging market sectors
Estimate market sizes and potential
Target new markets and customers
Successfully compete for market share
Find areas to add value and increase margins
Learn what is required in the design of successful workgroup servers
