HP took the No. 1 position in worldwide blade server factory revenue and units shipped, according to fourth calendar quarter 2006 server market figures released today by industry analyst firm IDC.(1)

HP overtook IBM to lead the blade server market in the fourth quarter with 41.9 percent factory revenue share and 40.0 percent total factory units share, and showed more than ten times the growth of IBM in units and revenue year-over-year.

Very cool well done on HP, we’ll see how this year goes for them, they have been making big efforts with the C-Class blades, but remain under pressure from Dell/IBM and Sun (to name a few), best of luck to all, regardless of which vendor you have a preference with, the fact that the blade technologies continue to do well, brings new features to the traditional rack mount server ranges, new opportunities to customers and brings much needed competition and focus to the server manufacturers.
