According to Janmaijai Dhyani, Market Analyst, Enterprise Computing – Servers, "Large deals in Banking (driven by both refresh and upgrades) and Government (particularly state owned departments) are leading to investment in technology advancement and are key to the growth in Q1 2014. Cooperative banks and universities are also investing in technology and are aggressively upgrading their IT infrastructure.”
