HP number one position in server revenue

http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press/2011/110228c.html?mtxs=rss-corp-news

HP has assumed a tie for the No. 1 position in worldwide server revenue and maintains the leadership position outright for server shipments in calendar year 2010, according to a new report from IDC released today.(1)

HP captured 39.1 percent of the total x86 market revenue for all of 2010, growing 33.9 percent compared to 2009, according to IDC. HP ProLiant servers have held the No. 1 position in the x86 server market for 59 consecutive quarters, or as long as IDC has been measuring x86 server market share.

According to IDC, HP was the only major server vendor to gain revenue share in the EPIC/RISC Blade server market, gaining 20.8 percentage points year over year in the fourth quarter of 2010 (to a total of 62.3 percent market share in 4CQ10).

Well done to HP server sales continue across vendors to be doing well, I wonder whether this is due to refresh and upgrade projects, more movements to virtualization or even cloud as a platform both internally in a private cloud scenario or for external cloud providers. I’m off to check out more about it.
