A computer server is a device or software that performs a service that addresses the needs of another computer, known as the client. The main types of computer servers are web server, virtual server, application server, database server and others. A web server is a combination of software and hardware that uses HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and some other protocols to respond to the requests made over the World Wide Web (www). It uses server operating system such as Microsoft windows servers, LINUX / UNIX servers, netware and cloud servers and are used in mainframes, desktop, laptop computer and other applications. The global computer servers market is segmented - 1) By Server Type: Web Server, Virtual Server, Application Server, Database Server, Other Server Types 2) By Server Operating System: Microsoft Windows Servers, Linux / Unix Servers, Netware, Cloud Servers 3) By Application: Mainframes, Desktop, Laptop Computers, Other Applications The global computer servers market size will grow from $94.91 billion in 2022 to $100.39 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The global computer servers market size is expected to grow to $120.44 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 4.7%. The increasing demand for the server is a key factor driving the growth of the computer server market. A server is a computer that supplies other computers with data, it can serve content over the internet to devices on a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN). The global server industry is experiencing double-digit growth and shows no indications of slowing down. For instance, in November 2022, according to a survey conducted by Netcraft Ltd., a UK-based internet services company, the survey received responses from 1,135,089,912 sites across 271,689,143 domains and 12,306,625 web-facing computers, resulting in a 4.7 million site gain, a 194,480 domain loss, and a 6,685 web-facing computer gain. Therefore, the increasing demand for the server is expected to propel the growth of the computer servers market over the forecast period. Major players in the computer server market are IBM, Dell Technologies Inc., Hewlett-Packard Corp., Inspur Technologies Co. Ltd., Lenovo, FUJITSU, Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., Oracle Inc., CisCo., EMC Corp., PolarLake, Adobe Systems Inc., VMware Inc., Bull Ltd., RedHat Inc., Apache Corp., Hitachi Ltd., NEC Corp., Western Digital Corporation, Kingston Technology Company Inc., Seagate Technology and Toshiba. The impact of COVID-19 is expected to impede the growth of the computer server market over the forecast period. The effect of COVID-19 will dampen overall IT infrastructure (server and enterprise storage systems) investment as businesses temporarily halted and workers are laid off or furloughed. For instance, total server sales declined to 22.1% in India to $232.1 million in the January-March quarter in 2020, attributing to the impact of COVID-19. Therefore, the impact of COVID-19 restraints the growth of the computer server market. Technological advancements are a major trend shaping the computer server market. Major companies operating in the computer server sector are focusing on developing technology advanced solutions for a computer server. For instance, in March 2020, Oxide Computer, a USA-based computer hardware company introduced a new type of server in which hardware and software were built together.
