The U.S. hyperscaler cloud market had a growth spurt in the third quarter of this year with a 26% increase year-over-year in revenue, according to a report.
The report, by 650 Group, stated capex for the data center equipment market grew 10% based on year-over-year results.
“Third quarter hyperscaler results were robust with strong growth in revenue and data center build outs,” said Alan Weckel, founding analyst for 650 Group, in a statement. “Hyperscalers buy a different class of equipment from a different set of suppliers from the rest of the market and third quarter results are showing those differences in vendor market shares."
Weckel said the Tier 2 Cloud providers continued to lack scale, and are relying on hyperscalers instead of building out their own infrastructure.
"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," according to Weckel.
