websites. According to a report by TechSolution in 2021, using white box servers
provided by OEMs resulted in 20% lower total costs and 25% increased energy
efficiency. These factors would eventually help in expanding the White Box
Server market size in the long run.
Increasing emphasis on virtual learning is driving the need for strong servers:
Growing trends toward virtual
learning are driving the demand for powerful servers, which further accelerates the
growth of the White Box Server market. Strong servers are required to optimize the space and performance requirements of the students for virtual learning. White
box servers are available at remote locations through managed colocation and
private data centers. A network administrator can remotely control the white
box server functionality without physically accessing the host server. BYJU'S has
reported a 200% increase in the number of new students using the platform in
India since it announced free live classes on its Think and Learn mobile app.
In May 2020, the Government of India launched the PM eVIDYA program to make
e-learning more accessible to students and teachers while also promoting and
