2014 domestic server continued to expand x86 market share

"Tenkine Server channel April 9 News" IDC data shows that in the fourth quarter of 2013 China's X86 server shipments reached 433,000 units, an increase of 20.5%. In terms of sales amount reached 1.24 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 16.4%. For the 2013 China's overall server market, domestic manufacturers to further expand their market share. As a result of the Twelve-Five planning of several major projects or will be in 3721.html ">2014 years, the government and related industry market will maintain medium-speed growth, domestic server manufacturers will continue to expand market share."

The growth trend of x86 market will continue in 2014, especially the four-way and above x86 servers are more attractive than traditional UNIX minicomputer in purchasing cost and later maintenance. Second, x86 's ability to deliver on key business with the release of Intel Xeon E7 v2 is no inferior to the traditional RISC processor, there are many successful RISC customer migration cases on the market. In the choice of suppliers, x86 is very rich in choice, Lenovo, Huawei, Dawn, Wave, Dell, HP and so on, and Unix seems to have become a solo. This means that selecting x86 users can have better bargaining power and avoid business risks when a vendor's technical support is not in place.
