Strategic Intelligence: IT Infrastructure Sector Scorecard Q2 2025 Update

Summary

On July 2, 2025, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) completed its $14 billion acquisition of Juniper Networks. This announcement came almost exactly 18 months after plans for the takeover were made public and followed a protracted approval process, including a US Department of Justice lawsuit challenging HPE’s purchase of Juniper that was settled in June 2025.

Before the deal’s completion, HPE and Juniper occupied fifth and sixth place, respectively, in the thematic screen of GlobalData’s IT infrastructure sector scorecard. Writing in January 2024, GlobalData principal analyst Steve Schuchart said that the takeover of Juniper would allow HPE to better address the changing needs of the enterprise networking market, improve its access to telecom markets, and strengthen its AI offering.

Scope
  • This sector scorecard provides a top-down, comprehensive outlook for the key players in the IT infrastructure sector over the next two years, based on the key themes set to transform their industry landscape.
Reasons to Buy
  • Companies that invest in the right themes become success stories. Those that miss the important themes in their industry end up as failures.
  • GlobalData's thematic research ecosystem is a single, integrated global research platform that provides an easy-to-use framework for tracking all themes across all companies in all sectors. It has a proven track record of identifying the important themes early, enabling companies to make the right investments ahead of the competition and secure that all-important competitive advantage.
  • GlobalData has developed a unique thematic methodology for ranking all major companies in all major sectors based on their relative strength in the big themes that are impacting their industries.
  • First, we identify the top 10 themes transforming a sector across four categories (tech, macro, industry, and ESG). We also rank themes in order of priority by examining activity levels across 200 million alternative data signals, including patents, jobs, deals, filings, social media, and news.
  • Second, we research each theme in detail, examining the value chain, key players, and trends. Additionally, we examine the impact of each theme across the 20 industries we cover. Our 200 million signals help identify the leading adopters of a theme in each sector.
  • Finally, using our sector scorecards, we rank the companies most likely to succeed in a sector over the next five years.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
