Hardware prices are up 100% since December.
And they keep growing.

Component shortages are driving 8-15% price increases on server hardware each month, potentially doubling the costs by the end of this year, and the crunch isn't expected to ease any time soon.

Lock in today's pricing with a pre-validated StarWind HCI Appliance before Q2 hits.

StarWind HCI Appliance vs. Waiting It Out

Where prices are heading
  • +30% price hike already confirmed for Q2 2026
  • OEM hardware on track for +100% increase by end of 2026 vs. 2025
  • Memory shortage projected to last through 2028, no relief in sight
Why buy now with StarWind?
  • Pre-validated hardware in stock at current pricing
  • Order today, before the Q2 price hike takes effect
  • Every quarter you delay = ~30% more on the same hardware

The best time to buy was last quarter. The second-best time is today.

Component prices are climbing quarter over quarter, with no slowdown projected before 2028. StarWind has allocations at today's pricing — pre-validated HCI appliances built on premium components, with no procurement delays. 
The longer you wait, the more the same hardware costs.
