Why we can only offer HPE server prices on request starting March 1, 2026!
Anyone who has tried to purchase server hardware recently knows exactly what we’re talking about. RAM prices that have multiplied since mid-2025. Delivery times that no one dares to predict anymore. A market situation where even long-time buyers stare in disbelief at their screens.
So are we.
Starting March 1, due to the current market situation, we will no longer be able to offer fixed list prices for our three HPE-based models (Power Server, Performance Server, and High Performance Server). Instead, you can request an up-to-date quote from us at any time.
What’s happening right now
Since October 2025, DDR4 and DDR5 memory prices have risen to an extent that the industry considers a structural shock. Not a short-term cycle, not a temporary bottleneck. Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron have massively shifted their production capacity toward High Bandwidth Memory for AI systems. What’s being produced for GPU clusters is missing from the rest of the market. OVHcloud estimates that the same server will cost up to 35% more by the end of 2026 than at the end of 2025. And that’s one of the more conservative forecasts.
What this means for our price list
Our HPE models use DDR5 RAM and SSD drives, which are also affected by these massive price increases.
Publishing a list price that we might not be able to honor next week simply wouldn’t be responsible. Project-based pricing on request means this for you: a price that reflects the real market, without a hefty risk buffer tacked on top.
Lite Plus Server, Basic Server, and Advanced Server will remain in the price list for now, with only moderate adjustments.
