According to a report, Dell EMC has spent on datacenter hardware and software in 2018, more than Cisco, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) and Huawei. The market has increased globally by 17 per cent in the last year.
Specifically, spending on public cloud infrastructure grew by 30 per cent, while spending on enterprise datacenter infrastructure grew by 13 per cent.
The findings reveal that the latter was driven by 23 per cent growth in private cloud or cloud-enabled infrastructure, which helped to offset a "marginal decline" in traditional, non-cloud infrastructure.
In terms of market share, ODMs in aggregate account for the largest portion of the public cloud market, with Dell EMC ahead of Cisco, HPE and Huawei.
Furthermore, the 2018 market leader in private cloud was Dell EMC, followed by Microsoft, HPE and Cisco - the same four vendors that led in the non-cloud datacenter market, though with a different ranking.
Analysts remark that the total datacenter infrastructure equipment revenues, including both cloud and non-cloud hardware and software, were US$150 billion in 2018 with public cloud infrastructure accounting for "well over" a third of the total.
Meanwhile, servers, operating systems (OS), storage, networking and virtualization software combined accounted for 96 per cent of the datacenter infrastructure market, with the balance comprising network security and management software.
By segment, Dell EMC is the leader in both server and storage revenues, while Cisco is dominant in the networking segment. Microsoft features heavily in the rankings due to its position in server OS and virtualization applications.
Others like HPE, VMware, IBM, Huawei, Lenovo, Inspur and NetApp, with Inspur and Huawei achieving the strongest growth during the past 12 months.
