The server market is on the mend
Many analysts see the server market as an indicator of the state of the IT market as a whole, and this condition over the past two years has been known to be very bad. The catastrophic failure of the server market, in particular, finished off Sun, and indeed many manufacturers have suffered greatly.
However, it seems, the situation began to slowly recover: IDC recently published data on servers for the 4th quarter of 2009, and for the second quarter in a row, analysts record sales growth. Microscopic, yes, only 2% compared to Q4 2008, but before that there was a continuous fall for 6 months in a row. In addition, for the first time since 2008, revenues grew at all levels of servers, from primary to high-end. So we can assume that the patient is more alive than dead.
Sales of Linux servers grew by 6% compared to Q4 2008, so now, according to IDC, the income from them is almost 15% of the total server market.
Three leaders without surprises - IBM still ranks first with a 35% share, followed by HP - 30% and Dell - 11%.
