Buyer Expectations for Short-Term Growth in Spending for HPC Servers, Public Clouds, and Desktops

Due to a shift in HPC sites' perception of HPC cloud resources available and in future roadmaps from CSPs, the HPC cloud market continues to be one of the strongest growth markets in today's HPC ecosystem. While the HPC on-premises market is not projected to dramatically change from the steady 6%-8% five-year CAGR seen in years past, the cloud market is currently showing a projected 17.6% five-year CAGR for the next five years.

Over the past decade, the relative positions of HPC vendors in terms of revenue have shifted and evolved due to acquisitions, changes in product lines, and advances in technology. Hyperion Research sees this pattern continuing as we project out over the coming years as new areas of technology emerge and current technology evolves.
