Webinar Information

The conceptual framework of the Metaverse is ever more dependent on the support of endpoint computing. This is expected to inject vitality into the market for data centers and drive the growth of micro-servers and edge computing. At the same time, servers will see an increase in DRAM content per box and a further upgrade in their storage hardware. In particular, SSDs and HDDs that offer a faster write speed will be targeted for adoption.

Also, hyperscale data centers represent a rapidly expanding share of the ITAD market as the pandemic persists. Currently, North America and China are where the build-out of hyperscale data centers is mainly taking place. Activities in these two major regional markets are bringing about a huge wave of server replacement demand, thereby injecting strong growth momentum into the ITAD market in the future.

The development of DDR5 solutions is being closely watched as the DRAM market undergoes its generational transition. In the server market, there is less sensitivity to the production cost of a whole system. This means that even with a price premium, DDR5 solutions will make relatively rapid progress in gaining adoption support from server CPU platforms. TrendForce believes that DDR5 solutions for servers will gradually advance to the mass production stage and replace the existing DDR4 counterparts in 2022. At this year’s Compuforum, TrendForce will also provide in-depth analyses of the DDR5 adoption timelines of the other major application segments such as PCs and smartphones.

Cloud Deployment: Next-Generation Applications for Servers and New Opportunities

Lastly, in recent years, the roll-out of the 5G network has contributed to the expansion of “edge computing nodes”. This trend will create huge business opportunities related to DRAM. Examples include IoT, automotive electronics, and the Metaverse. On the other hand, the rapid pace of structural changes that are taking place across many industrial sectors, together with the exponential increase in computing power, are generating the needs for new server architectures that are designed for applications and services very different from the traditional ones.
in the DRAM industry, the new DDR5 series that will be introduced to the market in the second half of this year can deliver a faster data transfer rate and serve as a more effective option for the computing architectures purposed for artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning (DL). Also, among the various new memory solutions that are designed in response to the requirements of AI-related applications and high-performance computing, high-bandwidth memory (HBM) has come to the forefront.
Turning to the field of digital storage, the major NAND Flash suppliers are currently focusing on raising the layer number of their respective 3D NAND technologies. Since more layers equal more bit output and lower cost, NAND Flash solutions are expected to eventually reach a price parity with the traditional HDDs and replace them across most storage applications. Presently, the NAND Flash industry is in the midst of frequent transitions to a higher-layer process as suppliers seek greater cost reductions.

Booming Server Growth⁠: Broad Analysis of Trends in Global ITAD Market

Alex Chen TrendForce Analyst

The COVID-19 pandemic has altered both the organizational and consumer markets worldwide. Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), which are the main participants of the organizational markets, have undertaken digital transformation in order to improve their resiliency against the pandemic-related disruptions. As a result, SMBs are also increasingly dependent on cloud service providers (CSPs) for access to infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a service (IaaS). Turning to consumers, they are now much more dependent on e-commerce and media streaming platforms for their daily activities than they were before the pandemic.
The two aforementioned trends are accelerating the build-out of data centers worldwide. Also, in the field of cloud computing, the development and training of AI models is generating demand for more powerful server processor chips. Hence, the generational transition of computing platforms is also taking place at an increasingly rapid pace. Since many data-rich business operations and CSPs have to replace a huge quantity of older servers that run on the computing technologies of the earlier generations, the demand for IT asset disposition (ITAD) has risen. In the future, ITAD service providers will benefit from the economies of scale resulting from the build-out of data centers and replacement of older equipment during the post-pandemic period. They will thus be able to tap into a new wave of opportunities for rapid growth.
