Gartner: Weltweiter Server-Absatz stieg im dritten Quartal um 8,7 Prozent, der Umsatz um 2,6 Prozent

Dienstag, 27. November 2007 um 15:55

Dell enjoyed its second quarter running of shipment growth and grew by 5.4, and gained 0.7 percent in share which is a reflection of Dell’s steadily improving results each quarter. Sun’s SPARC Enterprise servers boosted revenue results in the quarter which resulted in an 11.4 percent growth in revenue but Sun experienced a 4.5 percent decline in server shipments. Sun’s focus on product margins over volumes contributed to this volume decline. Fujitsu/FSC grew 17.4 percent in shipments and grew 3.4 percent in server revenue. Shipment growth was driven by FSC’s x86-based Primergy business in Europe Middle East and Africa (EMEA).

The blade server segment continued to drive growth in the third quarter. Worldwide blade server shipments grew 13.8 percent, accounting for 10 percent of server shipment share. HP retained its lead in this segment with the most significant shipment increase at 91 percent compared to the same quarter last year. Sun’s re-entry into the server blade market in 2006 saw it climb from the No. 9 position to the No. 4 largest blade server vendor.

In EMEA, server shipments in the third quarter of 2007 increased 12.8 percent over the same quarter last year, while server revenue for the same period increased 5.9 percent. Server revenue totaled $4.13 billion for the quarter and server shipments reached 645 thousand units.

“The third quarter of 2007 was again a strong quarter for the server market in EMEA, with shipments returning to double digit growth. Overall demand for servers remained healthy with no visible impact from financial market instability during the quarter,” said Samina Malik, principal analyst at Gartner. x86-based servers continued to perform strongly but RISC/Itanium UNIX servers also saw robust revenue growth year-on-year, driven by strong performances from Sun Microsystems and HP.

HP retained the No.1 vendor position based on revenue (see Table 3) and exhibited a similar performance to its results worldwide.

IBM’s revenue declined across most of its server lines and was impacted by transitions to new products, except for its x86-based System x line which grew revenue year-on-year. Sun, in third position, posted strong revenue growth mostly driven by its RISC-based products. Dell, in fourth position continued to see its server revenue increase, driven by strong revenue growth in 1 and 2-socket servers.

Based on server shipments, HP maintained its No.1 position with shipments growing 20.7 percent compared to the same period last year (see Table 4). Both HP and Fujitsu/FSC grew server shipments faster than that of the total market. Dell and IBM held the No. 2 and No. 3 positions respectively, with just over 13,000 units separating the two vendors. IBM was the only vendor of the top five to record a shipment decline year-on-year, caused by a slight decrease in its System x server shipments and product transitions in its System p and System i lines.
