Q1’20 Data Center Equipment CAPEX for the US Hyperscalers Take Different Directions as World Changes Consumption Models

5/5/2020

 
Surge Spending and Different Usage Patterns Change 2020 and 2021 CAPEX Trends

PORTOLA VALLEY, Calif.  May 5, 2020 —  According to a newly released report issued by founding analysts of 650 Group, the US Hyperscaler Cloud market revenue grew 20% Y/Y in Q1’20 while CAPEX used for Data Center Equipment grew unevenly during the same timeframe.

650 Group’s Cloud Report covers Colocation, IaaS, SaaS, and Search & Social.

Q1’20 Highlights:
* o    Revenue Growth for US Hyperscalers was the slowest it has been in a decade
* o    The majority of Cloud Providers lowered CAPEX projections for 2020
* o    US Hyperscaler Cloud providers are running their servers and networks more efficiently compared to 2019, allowing them to surge capacity at a faster rate than DC buildouts
* o    Surge capacity in Q1’20 was very different between Search and Social companies like Facebook and Google and IaaS companies like Amazon and Microsoft.
* o    Capital Equipment Expenditures were constrained by supply constraints related to COVID-19; supply constraints remain in 2Q’20

The Cloud reports include CAPEX studies for the Colocation, IaaS, SaaS, and Search and Social Media markets, including a unique look at spending specifically for data center equipment.  Going beyond just Cloud revenue provides a unique look into where and how the largest Cloud providers deploy equipment.  In the report, you can see the trend towards more CAPEX spending occurring in IaaS as many SaaS providers choose IaaS instead of building out their own infrastructure.

“Q1’20 Cloud results diverged from normal seasonality as the world rapidly shifted to work-from-home and remote forms of social and society interaction,” said Alan Weckel, founding analyst for 650 Group. “Cloud-based companies became increasingly important to society as social norms changed rapidly during Q1’20.  For businesses, the use of Cloud services becomes even more important in all verticals.  As we look towards the second half of 2020, companies that better use cloud resources to do business will emerge in a stronger position.”

650 Group Forecasts the Enterprise Wi-Fi 6E Market to Exceed $1B by 2025

4/23/2020

 

Recent FCC Ruling Opens Door to Expanded Spectrum and Capacity Boosted by 3-4X of Standard Wi-Fi Leading to Growth Opportunities


PORTOLA VALLEY, Calif.  April 23, 2020 —  According to a new forecast report issued by 650 Group, revenues for the Wi-Fi 6E-based Enterprise + Outdoor Wireless LAN market will exceed $1B by 2025. Additionally, the consumer WLAN infrastructure Wi-Fi 6E market, which includes routers, consumer mesh, extenders and broadband CPE with WLAN, will also grow to well over $1B in 2025.  

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has now unanimously approved draft rules for the 6 Ghz Band, unleashing 1,200 Megahertz for unlicensed Use  of Wi-Fi 6E technology, giving it significantly more performance and a wider reach of applications.

“650 Group expects broad range demand as 6 GHz spectrum-based Wi-Fi 6E technology will take hold in the U.S. market,” said Chris DePuy, founding analyst for 650 Group. “Wi-Fi 6E technology addresses myriad pressing needs for enterprises, and consumers, including enabling critical communications, supporting Gigabit per second class throughput, and, most urgently, addressing the new realities that Wi-Fi communications are more critical than ever before in the post COVID-19 world.”

650 Group reports THAT ENTERpRISE WIRELESS LAN DECLINED 3% Y/y in 4q 2019

4/2/2020

 
 2020 Market Forecast Reduced to Reflect Health Crisis

PORTOLA VALLEY, Calif.  April 2, 2020 —  According to a newly released report issued by 650 Group, revenues of the Enterprise Plus Outdoor Wireless LAN market declined 3%.  For the full year 2019, Enterprise Plus Outdoor Wireless LAN was flat, following very strong 2018 results.

“The WLAN market weakened on a year-over-year basis in the second calendar half of 2019, in part because of exceptionally strong growth in the second half of 2018, especially in the US market,” said Chris DePuy, Technology Analyst and Founder of 650 Group.  “As a result of the coronavirus lockdowns announced in March, we expect certain verticals like healthcare and use cases like remote working to experience increases in demand. However, we expect a re-thinking of the campus environment, and with reduced employment, we anticipate a net reduction in spending on Enterprise-class WLAN systems in 2020. We expect fast transitions toward cloud-managed WiFi and Wi-Fi 6E systems over the next year,” continued DePuy.

Cloud-managed Wireless LAN revenues associated with Enterprises experienced significant growth in 2019.  If Cloud-managed revenues are added to Enterprise Plus Outdoor Wireless LAN revenues, full-year revenues experienced modest growth.  Cloud-Managed Wireless LAN revenues are expected to grow in double-digits on a Y/Y basis for the next few years.  In 2019, vendors that took revenue share in the Enterprise Plus Outdoor Wireless LAN market included Cisco Systems, Extreme Networks, Huawei, and Juniper Networks.  The newly published includes analysis on other vendors, as well, including Adtran, Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, Allied Telesis, Arista Networks, Cambium Networks, Commscope, DasanZhone, Edgecore, Engenius, Everest Networks, HPE Aruba, Lancom, Ruijie, Samsung, Sundray, and Ubiquiti.

OPtical network revenues grow 5% y/y as hyperscaler customers lead growth

3/17/2020

 
Leading Vendors Experiencing Growth Included Ciena, Infinera, Nokia, and ZTE

PORTOLA VALLEY, Calif., March 17, 2020 -A newly released report by 650 Group, a leading Market Intelligence Research firm for communications, data center, and cloud markets, indicates that the Optical Transport Network market revenues increased 5% Y/Y in 4Q19. Revenues in four of the six geographic theatres experienced year over year growth, with North America having been the most robust.

“For the full year 2019, the top five Hyperscalers experienced the most growth out of any customer segment we track and has consistently been a top-performing customer segment in recent years,” said Chris DePuy, Technology Analyst and Founder at 650 Group. “Top vendors in the market are expecting their 800 Gbps optical transport technology to contribute to revenues towards the end of this year, 2020. We expect that optical transport systems companies that ship this new technology early will be well-positioned to take on the potential substitution threat of optical modules on switches and routers in the coming years.”

The forecast section of this report has been updated to reflect changes in both demand and supply related to health fears that have emerged in 1Q20. The report also reflects quantitative Data Center Interconnect (DCI) deployment scenarios across long-haul, metro, cloud, colocation, and telecom service providers.

650 Group Finds Data Center Equipment CAPEX for the US Hyperscalers Grows 10% Y/Y in 3Q19

11/7/2019

 
Significant Shift in Buying Patterns of the Tier Two Cloud Causes Massive Fluctuations in the Supply Chain
 
PORTOLA VALLEY, Calif.  Nov. 7, 2019 — According to a newly released report issued by founding analysts of 650 Group, US Hyperscaler Cloud market revenue grew 26% Y/Y in 3Q19 while CAPEX used for DC Equipment grew with mid-teen Y/Y results.
 
650 Group’s Cloud Report covers Colocation, IaaS, SaaS, and Search & Social.
 
“3Q19 Hyperscaler results were robust with strong growth in revenue and data center build outs,” said Alan Weckel, founding analyst for 650 Group. “Hyperscalers buy a different class of equipment from a different set of suppliers from the rest of the market and 3Q19 results are showing those differences in vendor market shares. The significant slowdown in Tier 2 Cloud spending, with many Tier 2 Clouds relying more on Hyperscalers has changed the supply chain and how it is working beneath the Hyperscalers.”
 
Report Highlights:
  • Tier 2 Cloud providers continue to lack scale and instead are relying on Hyperscalers instead of building out their own infrastructure
  • Facebook CAPEX Guidance for 2019 is now $4B less than a year ago; 2020 projections up Y/Y
  • Microsoft Azure won the coveted project Jedi award over Amazon AWS
  • AWS remains 3X larger than any other IaaS competitor
  • 400 Gbps continues to get pushed out; Hyperscalers are looking toward high-density 100 Gbps and/or 200 Gbps as an interim solution
  • Supply chain supporting each hyperscalers continues to be significantly different and diverse
  • We expanded the list of Cloud Providers we cover in the report
  • Amazon and Microsoft continue to outgrow Facebook and Google
  • Trade War causing more fluctuations in supply chain than Hyperscaler demand
 
The Cloud reports includes CAPEX studies for the Colocation, IaaS, SaaS, and Search and Social Media markets including unique look at spending specifically for data center equipment.  Going beyond just Cloud revenue provides a unique look into where and how the largest Cloud providers deploy equipment.  In the report, you can see the trend towards more CAPEX spending occurring in IaaS as many SaaS providers choose IaaS instead of building out their own infrastructure.
