RAM Shortage: expert insight.
In a recent article, Steve Spittal, Technology Director at Pulsant, explores what’s driving the global RAM shortage, the impact on UK businesses, and how to respond.
Protect your business from IT supply chain disruption, rising hardware costs, and infrastructure delays with flexible Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), colocation, and UK-based disaster recovery solutions.
Tech shortages are no longer a short-term disruption - they are reshaping how businesses plan, build, and scale digital infrastructure.
From the global RAM shortage to extended hardware lead times, organisations are facing a perfect storm of constrained supply, rising costs, and growing operational risk.
The shift toward AI has accelerated this challenge. Manufacturers are reallocating production to high-bandwidth memory (HBM), while hyperscalers secure long-term supply -leaving mid-sized and regional businesses competing for limited resources.
The result?
Memory prices rising sharply
Lead times exceeding 40 weeks
Critical infrastructure projects delayed
We are helping organisations adapt to this new reality - combining IaaS, colocation, and disaster recovery to ensure you stay operational, scalable, and protected.

When supply chains fail, your growth plans shouldn’t. Pulsant provides immediate access to enterprise-grade infrastructure without long procurement cycles.
With hardware lead times stretching close to a year, infrastructure projects are stalling. Our IaaS model removes dependency on physical supply constraints.
A lack of available hardware increases the risk of outages and failed recovery. Pulsant’s disaster recovery solutions ensure continuity, even when systems fail.
With RAM prices surging and hardware inflation rising, forecasting is difficult. Pulsant offers predictable pricing and flexible consumption models.
Relying on a small number of vendors increases exposure to shortages. Pulsant provides access to a diverse ecosystem and secure UK-based infrastructure.
Where legacy hardware can’t be replaced quickly, Pulsant helps bridge the gap with scalable infrastructure and recovery options.
Pulsant infrastructure is designed for resilience, flexibility, and control, helping businesses navigate both current supply chain challenges and future growth.
Avoid long procurement cycles with ready-to-use compute and memory capacity.
Protect your operations with integrated disaster recovery solutions.
Move away from volatile hardware pricing and invest with confidence.
Keep data secure, compliant, and close to your operations.
Work with a wide range of providers without vendor lock-in.
