Hardware procurement is no longer about “just buying servers and desktops.” Today, enterprises demand performance, scalability, sustainability, and lifecycle flexibility. As a leading hardware provider, Candid8 understands this evolution — delivering comprehensive hardware stacks and services that align with modern IT strategies, hybrid cloud adoption, AI workloads, and green IT imperatives.
Key Trends Reshaping the Hardware Industry
1. Hybrid and Remote Work Permanence
As remote and hybrid working models persist, organizations need seamless hardware delivery, device-as-a-service (DaaS), and ongoing support — rather than simple one-time purchases.
2. Sustainability and Green IT
Purchasing decisions are now heavily influenced by environmental impact. Businesses are turning toward refurbished equipment, energy-efficient servers, equipment recycling, and carbon-impact measurement to align with sustainability goals.
3. Rise of AI/GPU Workloads and Edge Compute
With the surge in AI/ML projects, edge deployments, and IoT growth, companies require specialized hardware — such as GPU clusters, servers with accelerators, and rugged edge devices — backed by supply chains that can deliver reliably.
4. Everything-as-a-Service (XaaS) and Subscription Models
Hardware procurement is shifting from upfront CAPEX investments to flexible subscription or DaaS models, offering scalability and predictable costs.
