While growth of data centers at the large cloud vendors is growing dramatically, on-premise data centers are down-sizing, consolidating, hollowing out, or being completely shut down.<\/p>\n

2015 was the peak for the number of global data centers, according to IDC.<\/a> \u00a0Since 2015, the number of data centers has shrunk from 8.55 million to 8.4 million this year and to reach 7.2 million by 2021.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, top cloud vendors are ramping up their data centers quickly. \u00a0Last year, Oppenheimer estimated<\/a> that Amazon AWS uses 1.3 million ultra-powerful servers world wide in their cloud data centers. Oppenheimer estimates that by 2021 the major cloud vendors will control 65 percent of the global compute capacity.<\/p>\n

John-David Lovelock<\/a>, research vice president at Gartner, said that<\/a> “enterprises are moving away from buying servers from the traditional vendors and instead renting server power in the cloud from companies such as Amazon, Google and Microsoft. This has created a reduction in spending on servers, which is impacting the overall data center system segment.”<\/p>\n
