Component Constraints & Pricing Changes Affecting Technology Hardware
The technology industry is experiencing unprecedented demand for AI-ready and high-performance systems. This surge is creating global shortages in key components such as memory, storage, GPUs, and other performance-related parts used across PCs, workstations, servers, and storage systems.
As a result, many major OEMs have announced upcoming price increases and changes to standard lead times, especially for custom or component-rich configurations.
At Zones, we are actively monitoring these developments across all manufacturers and distributors to ensure our customers have the most accurate and current information possible.
What This Means for You
- Certain devices and configurations may experience longer lead times due to component availability.
- Some hardware categories may see price adjustments as OEMs update their cost structures.
- Future-dated orders may not be eligible for earlier pricing under new OEM policies.
- Customers with upcoming projects, refresh cycles, or custom builds may be impacted.
Our goal is to help you navigate these market changes with clarity, transparency, and the best commercial outcomes available.
