White Box Server Market Outlook: 2026
In computer hardware, a white box is a personal computer or server without a well-known brand name. For instance, the term applies to systems assembled by small system integrators and home-built computer systems assembled by end users from parts purchased separately at retail. It can be found in large data centers run by different companies like Google or Facebook. It is mainly built by assembling COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) components in different ways to provide customization to customers. It can run key operating systems including windows server, virtualization software, and red hat enterprise linux. There are various benefits of using white box server such as customizations, cost savings, and ease of maintenance and support. Data explosion coupled with digitization and business growth on an extensive scale has increased the white box server market size.
Growth in the demand for low-cost servers, higher uptime, and high degree of customization, and increase in number of data centers across the globe are the major factors that drive the white box server market growth. In addition, increase in the adoption of open platforms such as open compute project, project Scorpio, and increase in the adoption of white box server among end users, fuel the growth of the market. However, limited service and support offerings from ODM’s and lack of technical expertise in their designing and deployment hamper the growth of the white box server market. Furthermore, increase in demand for micro servers from data centers and growth in support for arm processors in the market is anticipated to create major opportunities for the white box server market.
The white box server market is segmented into server type, business type, processor type, and region. By server type, it is segmented into rack & tower, blade, and density optimized. As per business type, it is bifurcated into data center and enterprises. In terms of processor type, it is segmented into x86 server and non-x86 server. Region-wise, it is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
