White Box Server Market Size, CAGR, and Future Prospects | 2032

The long-term White Box Server Industry Outlook is one of increasing specialization and disaggregation, with the white box model serving as the primary vehicle for deploying the next generation of data center architectures. The industry is moving beyond the general-purpose server and is heading towards a future where data centers are built from a variety of highly specialized, workload-optimized server designs. The outlook envisions massive fleets of white box servers purpose-built for AI training, featuring dense arrays of GPUs and high-speed interconnects, existing alongside different white box designs optimized for high-capacity storage or low-latency networking. The flexibility and customizability of the ODM-led model are perfectly suited to this heterogeneous computing future, where a one-size-fits-all approach is no longer efficient or effective.

The industry outlook is also inextricably linked to the future of data center cooling. As the power consumption of high-performance processors continues to skyrocket, the limits of air cooling are being reached. The future of high-density computing is liquid cooling, either through direct-to-chip cold plates or full immersion of servers in a dielectric fluid. The outlook is that white box designs will lead this transition. The open and flexible nature of the OCP standards and the direct engineering relationship between hyperscalers and ODMs allow for the rapid innovation and integration of these advanced liquid cooling technologies at the server and rack level. This stands in contrast to the slower, more cautious product cycles of traditional OEMs, positioning the white box industry at the forefront of solving one of the data center industry's most critical challenges.

Ultimately, the industry's outlook is one where the white box model becomes the foundation for a more modular and sustainable digital infrastructure. The principles of disaggregation—separating the CPU, memory, storage, and accelerators into independent, upgradeable modules—are a key part of the long-term vision. The outlook sees a future where data centers are built from pools of these disaggregated resources housed in white box chassis, allowing for a more flexible, efficient, and less wasteful approach to infrastructure upgrades. Instead of replacing an entire server, an operator could simply upgrade the CPU module. This vision of a composable, disaggregated infrastructure, enabled by the open and flexible white box model, is central to the industry's long-term transformation. The White Box Server market size is projected to grow USD 35.5 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 14.86% during the forecast period 2024 - 2032.
