Industry trends and AI opportunity

  • Hybrid/multi-cloud is used by 90% of organizations, spanning an average of 22 environments; application-layer attacks rose 140% YoY.

  • AI workloads are increasing indirect ADC demand through greater bandwidth and capacity needs; direct opportunities include data delivery, runtime security and AI factory load balancing.

  • AI data delivery is the most mature direct use case; AI factory load balancing is the most nascent and uses BIG-IP capabilities on NVIDIA DPUs.

  • Direct AI use cases generated roughly $50 million of bookings in H1; indirect demand was a major systems growth driver, while financial institutions and government agencies showed early AI security momentum.

Demand and systems refresh

  • Pipeline health and creation rates remained strong; digital sovereignty is driving data center capacity investment in Europe and Asia-Pacific, including for workloads retained on-premise.

  • Customers are expanding capacity during refresh cycles to support workload growth, including AI demand, and are moving to higher-performance appliance tiers.

  • iSeries software support ends in Q2 FY2027; refresh demand is accelerating ahead of the date, with a demand surge expected near the deadline followed by a long tail.

  • Competitive takeouts are benefiting from continued systems and software innovation, competitors’ aggressive pricing, stronger support and more flexible commercial models.

Software and platform adoption

  • Software growth outlook is mid-single-digit for FY2026 and double-digit for FY2027; FY2027 growth is expected to be more back-end weighted due to renewal timing.

  • Renewal expansion is supported by higher customer consumption and broader portfolio adoption; SaaS ARR is expected to grow in FY2026, with that growth contributing in FY2027.

  • Existing-customer expansion and new use cases are expected to drive most software growth; new logos continue, but most revenue comes from current customers.

  • Distributed Cloud serves over 1,700 customers; adoption among the top 1,000 reached 33%, up from 24% a year earlier, and customers using multiple modalities grow 25% faster.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
