AI Is Driving Hardware Shortages — Act Now to Secure Delivery and Pricing

 

AI platforms now consume around 40% of global DRAM and high‑performance storage production, pushing enterprise IT hardware into longer lead times and higher risk. Many standard enterprise configurations are already facing delivery times of up to months, with further delays and price adjustments likely as demand continues to grow.

Waiting comes at a cost. Even without making changes today, future availability and pricing cannot be guaranteed.

 

The right design changes everything.

 

By optimizing solution architecture and aligning configurations with current component availability, delivery times can often be reduced and supply risk minimized — without compromising performance, security, or resilience.

We also help organizations size and assess existing environments to uncover unused capacity, extend current investments, and plan expansions more strategically.

 

Now is the time to act.

Secure your delivery timelines, protect your budget, and gain control in an AI‑driven market.
