服务器销售市场
我觉得这里shift就是在销售过程中的转移、运输等等。用server box shifting是因为server box包括单台服务器和含有多台服务器的机柜。我这么想的原因是全文只提到了这些公司的服务器销售额与出货量的变化，所以server box shifting不大可能还有别的意思。big box shifter是说它们都是大的服务器出货厂家，shift很多的(server) box。

因为“shifting world”是一款游戏还有其他商品的商标，两个字几乎成了固定短语，这就是为什么不用the shifting server box world，而是用 the server box shifting world
