ServiceNow ordered a year's worth of hardware to avoid supply chain hassles

Re: Thank You

Yes but placing the order does not guarantee that anything will be delivered, even if it is for a year in advance.

The reality is that the entire supply chain should be balancing the limited supply of parts so that what they can manufacture gives everyone a chance to buy something, not one company buy everything.

At the end of the day AWS, Microsoft, Facebook etc are probably taking containers of stuff before it even leaves China leaving crumbs for everyone else.
