We’re increasing our AI server revenue expectations for FY27 to $60 billion, which only goes to show the AI opportunity shows no signs of slowing.”

Comments
The ISG acceleration is overwhelmingly an AI compute story, servers have tripled while storage remains stubbornly anchored around $4B per quarter, with Q1's $4.3B representing only a modest uptick from the $3.9B trough. The question now is whether PowerScale, bolstered by its pNFS extension and the new Lightning File System, can inject meaningful growth into an otherwise flat storage line and start pulling its weight within an ISG that's being reshaped entirely by AI infrastructure demand.
