Worldwide Service Provider Infrastructure Forecast, 2023–2027


This IDC study provides historical data (2018–2022) and forecast data (2023–2027) for the worldwide service provider compute and storage infrastructure market. The forecast and historical data illustrate consumption of infrastructure hardware segmented by service provider category: hyperscaler, cloud service provider, digital service provider, communications service provider (telco), and dedicated hoster. For each of these categories, IDC has estimated the value (end-user spending), units, and storage capacity shipped."Service provider infrastructure spending has been growing well for over a decade, and 2022 was no exception, as improvements to the supply chain opened the infrastructure deployment floodgates yet again," said Kuba Stolarski, research vice president for IDC's Compute and Storage Infrastructure practice. "While 2023 may be a slower growth year, once this macroeconomic storm passes (which should happen by 2024), healthy double-digit growth will return as customers return to cloud service providers for their as-a-service needs (particularly for AI workloads) digital service providers expand their consumer services, and telcos accelerate their network modernization for MEC services."

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.
