Gartner zum weltweiten Server-Markt 2007

Freitag, 22. Februar 2008 um 15:44

Blade servers continue to be a high-growth segment with a revenue increase of 44.5 per cent and a shipment increase of 19.9 per cent for the year. HP was the 2007 leader with blades at a 41.7 per cent shipment share, with IBM being in second place at 30.9 per cent. These two vendors continued to dominate this form factor and totalled almost 78 per cent of the worldwide blade revenue share for 2007.

In Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), server shipments totalled 2.7 million units in 2007, a 9.2 per cent increase from 2006. Server revenue totalled $18.1 billion in 2007, a 6.6 per cent increase from 2006.

"The fourth quarter of 2007 exhibited a positive level of growth up 6.4 per cent in shipment terms and 3.3 per cent in revenues compared to the same quarter in 2006. As a result, the full year drew to a positive close,” said Errol Rasit, senior analyst at Gartner.

He added: “In the x86 market, ongoing demand for additional capacity, strong small and medium-sized business growth are currently offsetting any negative effects such as virtualisation, leading to a growth of 13.9 per cent in revenue and 11.3 per cent in unit shipments in 2007.

Although RISC-Itanium Unix servers exhibited growth in the fourth quarter and achieved a 3 per cent increase in revenue terms for 2007, volumes for the year declined 20.6 per cent signifying increased high-end sales. Mainframes had the weakest revenue performance of any segment for the year, declining 7 per cent from 2006.”

Based on revenue, HP retained its top position in 2007 (see Table 3). HP’s strength was largely driven by its x86 business as well as modest growth with business-critical systems sales in EMEA. IBM’s position was weak in 2007 due to a slow down in their Mainframe business, caused by the highly cyclical nature of the business.

Based on server shipments, HP maintained its top position with shipments growing 16.4 per cent compared to 2006 (see Table 4). Dell pushed ahead of IBM to claim second position with just over 50,000 units separating the two vendors. “HP’s solid unit growth through 2007 meant that it exhibited the strongest year-on-year growth of all the vendors; however Fujitsu Siemens Computers was a close second, with only 0.4 percentage points’ difference,” Mr Rasit added.
