Global Microserver (Hardware, Application software, Operating System) Market Report 2013 - 2019
M2 - Tue Apr 08, 11:00AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/t64fmg/microserver) has announced the addition of the "Microserver Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019" report to their offering. The total value for global market microserver stood at USD 1,059.69 million in 2012 and it is estimated that the market would reach a size of USD 30,205.56 million by 2019. It is estimated that the market would experience growth at a CAGR of 43.4% in terms of revenue during the period from 2013 to 2019. Further, it has been estimated that a total of 2,137.92 thousand units of microserver would be shipped in 2019. The growth in demand for microservers is driven by the growing demand for power efficient, high density and low cost server ecosystems around data center and cloud. Microservers also offer better overall cost-performance, higher reliability in system-on-chip (SoC)-based implementations and overall reduction in total cost of ownership due to better self-management and are expected to define future around data center and cloud. It is expected that total cloud traffic would grow at a CAGR of 29.9% over the period 2013 to 2019 and it is expected to drive the growth in adoption of microservers. In addition, growing clout for microservers among dedicated, single application, high-scale customers for very low power server designs is expected to boost the demand in coming future as these have the required expertise and willingness to rewrite old software that run on legacy software and optimize it for microservers. Microservers are optimized for workload such as static simple content delivery node, web servers, distributed memory caching, cold data storage; entry dedicated hosting and entry level security appliances and switches. It is expected that microserver market would grow over the coming years owing to the fact that end-users can utilize this technology to deploy systems that offer better cost-performance at lower total cost of ownership. End-users would also benefit from its reliability, reduced power and space requirements, and low cost of entry offered by microserver platforms.

Micro servers, also known as low powered servers or energy efficient servers or high dense servers, are those which contain a large number of nodes, low powered processors, and shared infrastructure. The micro server architecture provides improvement in power efficiency and system cooling compared to traditional servers by sharing common components, such as fans and power supply. Micro servers thus, use less power, need less cooling, and require less space than conventional servers. They are mainly used for low intensive tasks such as web hosting, video steaming, downloads, web 2.0 activities such as social networking, web serving, or possibly handling corporate logins. The micro servers market has penetrated nearly 2.3% of the total servers market in 2012. However, it is forecasted that by 2018, nearly 28% of the servers market will be shared by micro servers. The market is expected to take a magnanimous leap from 2014 when 64 bit ARM processor, having a high processing speed, will be launched. Market is segmented according to component, processor type, application, and geography. The report discusses the major processor-based micro server market. The report covers an overview of the traditional server market with a detailed segmentation for micro server ICs, that is, by processor, type, application, and geography. Within these segmentations, each micro server IC's type and subtype has been forecasted. The forecasting of applications has been provided with respect to each processor and region. The report covers the market dynamics of the micro server market, which includes drivers and restraints of the market and their impact on the market for the next 5 years. Within market dynamics, this report also identifies the new opportunities of a micro server in a number of segments. The market is segmented into four major geographical regions, namely North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World.
