This supports higher-margin solution sales and long-term improvement in net margins. Expansion of recurring software and managed services (e.g., Penguin ICE ClusterWare and post-deployment operations) is raising earnings stability and aggregate profitability, as services revenue is recognized steadily over time and attached to each new customer win.
