Omdia projects Foxconn to become the world’s largest server vendor

Published

on

LONDON, Dec. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Fueled by soaring demand for AI-optimized servers from major US cloud providers, Foxconn’s ODM direct business will achieve astronomical growth in 2024, securing the top spot in Omdia’s global server market analysis. Foxconn will overtake Dell, which claimed the lead from HPE in 2018, marking the first time a non-US company tops the server market rankings.

“The four largest cloud providers—Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and Meta—will comprise nearly half of 2024’s data center capex, amplifying their influence on the competitive server market,” said Vlad Galabov, Omdia Senior Director. “With AI application development and deployment dominating compute priorities, vendors aligning with NVIDIA are thriving. These dynamics have propelled Foxconn to the top spot.”

Foxconn isn’t the only vendor benefiting from the surge in demand for AI-optimized servers. Quanta Cloud Technologies (QCT), ZT Systems and Super Micro grew their server revenue more than 100% in 2024. Dell won big strategic clients like CoreWeave and xAI. It also developed a portfolio of professional services and reference designs, including AI consulting services. “Despite ranking shifts, all server vendors will see 2024 as a major success due to significant market growth,” said Manoj Sukumaran, Senior Principal Analyst at Omdia.

The consolidated nature of investment made 2024 a unique year in the server market. Omdia projects 10 companies will make up nearly 60% of the global server investment; 10 companies will fulfil over 70% of market demand.

Omdia accounts only for direct-to-user sales by ODMs like Foxconn, Pegatron and Flex. Revenue from manufacturing servers for OEMs like Dell, HPE and Cisco is excluded to prevent double counting. ODMs are not credited for sales realized by OEMs.

“Foxconn has more growth ahead, having secured a close partnership with NVIDIA to manufacture Blackwell GPU reference designs. They will become the largest supplier of NVL36 and NVL72 racks to cloud service providers,” added Sukumaran.

2025 is set to be another strong year for the data center industry, particularly the server market, driven by the next phase of AI infrastructure deployment at both cloud service providers and enterprises. Omdia forecasts server capex to grow 22%, surpassing $280 billion next year. This robust growth is expected to continue throughout the decade with the server market expected to reach $380 billion by 2028, approaching half a trillion dollars by 2030.

“We’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg of AI-specialized cloud SP formation and spending. Their server capex is set to grow significantly, with CoreWeave potentially outspending Oracle in 2025,” said Galabov.

Highly regulated industries have shared with Omdia that 2024 won’t see the regulatory frameworks needed to scale AI production. Additionally, enterprise investment in 2024 was limited by GPU availability which will improve in 2025.

Vision to Value: Deloitte Reveals Framework to Realize Business Value through ERP Enabled Transformations

Published

on

By

Proprietary framework will enable clients to realize value through end-to-end ERP transformation across industries.

NEW YORK, Dec. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Deloitte today introduces “Vision to Value” for SAP – a proprietary method and framework that is based on over 35 years of successful SAP transformations and their value drivers. Vision to Value drives organizations to orient, preserve, and deliver measurable financial and non-financial value from their ERP investments. Unlike other methods, Deloitte’s methodology focuses on value throughout each stage of the ERP transformation journey: ERP planning and strategy, inflight implementation and post implementation, ensuring value is not a by-product.

“Vision to Value’s methodology is fueled by a set of integrated capabilities specifically designed to accelerate and improve the ability to articulate, measure, manage and realize value throughout the implementation lifecycle of major ERP initiatives,” said Vadhi Narasimhamurti, principal and the Global SAP Offering Leader for Deloitte Consulting LLP. “It is a refined and holistic approach that provides our clients greater confidence in transformation decisions before, during and after an ERP implementation.”

Before – ERP planning and strategy. Aligns organizational strategy to ERP goals. What will success look like. What critical metrics and value drivers will demonstrate success.During – Inflight implementation. Mitigates the risk of over-indexing on the technicality of implementation and go-live. Keeps the focus on value beyond the initial business case. Embeds value analysis within change control boards and transformation management offices.After – Post implementation. Softens the common business performance dip. Continues value focus for process improvements; enhancement/innovation prioritization based on value drivers; capability improvements measured and tracked (e.g., renegotiating supplier contracts for material rates after gaining better visibility into total spend, resulting in a lower cost of goods sold).

Clients embarking on their ERP value journey often misstep with ill-defined and abandoned business cases, unclear and misaligned expectations on outcomes and a lack of clarity on who is accountable for realizing value within each functional area (e.g., finance, procurement, supply chain). Setting a transformative value ambition while merely performing a technical upgrade is a recipe for a failed program. It is critical that ERP outcomes are connected to corporate objectives and the value case is defined holistically considering how process re-engineering, automation and operating model changes are required to turn soft-dollar efficiencies into hard-dollar savings.

“Organizations should be focused on maximizing the value from their ERP investments holistically,” said Michael David Wilson, principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP. “Too often, organizations fail to realize their value ambitions because value is only a focus for the business case, and after the implementation when shareholders and executives ask, ‘I spent $100M, what did I get out of it?’ Technology capabilities need to be paired with disciplined processes, operating model changes and better data quality to drive realizable value.”

Built on Deloitte’s Enterprise Value Map and backed by industry-focused improvement benchmarks and value-driving metrics, the Vision to Value framework accelerates strategic alignment of an organization’s objectives to ERP outcomes, while articulating the metrics for top-down and bottoms-up value definition and realization. Ultimately, the Vision to Value method provides lasting confidence and clarity for the C-suite on ERP investment value.

This announcement comes on the heels of Deloitte’s recent recognition as a 2024 SAP Pinnacle Award recipient in three categories: Customer Success: Sales Success | Large Enterprise, Delivery Quality and RISE with SAP | Delivery Quality. Deloitte, an SAP global services partner, helps clients activate the intelligent, cloud-enabled Kinetic Enterprise™ with SAP technologies — to help them reimagine everything, innovate rapidly and evolve with confidence in the face of constant disruption. Each day across the globe, Deloitte’s team of more than 30,000 professionals is working with leaders across industries to explore the art of the possible with SAP solutions — and to take action.
