Key Factors to Note
SMCI’s strength in new edge platforms, growing traction among customers across the world, and increasing design wins are likely to have aided its performance during the fiscal second quarter.
Further, expanding its portfolio and deepening focus toward developing products ideal for AI workloads, 5G telco applications and accelerated storage systems is likely to have benefited SMCI’s performance in the quarter under review.
Additionally, increasing demand for rack-scale Total IT Solutions and accelerated computing platforms is expected to have boosted SMCI’s total addressable market size during the to-be-reported quarter.
Moreover, the company’s efforts to combine its Building Block solution, advanced software, and robust security and service features are likely to have driven the momentum of its Total IT Solutions among the customers in the fiscal second quarter.
Additionally, SMCI’s solid momentum across accelerated GPU/AI workloads, software-defined storage and networking, public and hybrid cloud and 5G/Edge/IoT Platforms are likely to have contributed well.
Growing investments in data center management software, security features, cloud stack and service, are likely to have benefited its performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
However, supply-chain disruptions led by the coronavirus pandemic are likely to have continued impacting the company’s financial performance during the fiscal second quarter negatively.
