Gartner says HP's second-quarter server shipments Fall

HP's global server shipments fell sharply in the second quarter, according to data from Gartner's initial survey. But so far it's not clear which supplier is in the majority of the server market, but it is certain that no competitor has taken away the part of HP's lost market share.

Prior to Gartner's official release of data, CRN's preliminary data showed that HP had fallen for the second consecutive quarter, but Gartner had no comment on the data. But anyway, the data from IDC show that HP's situation is not optimistic.

Matt Eastwood, vice president of IDC, said the drop in HP's server sales was due to HP's shift away from the traditional server and blade server market to the development of large data center servers.

HP is still in the top position, followed by Dell and IBM, according to data from Gartner, which crn the server's global shipments. Dell ranked second, while shipments grew by 1.7% per cent compared with the same period last year.

In the Chinese market, thanks to the state's policy of buying domestic servers, HP has been under pressure from Chinese manufacturers such as Lenovo and Huawei. At the same time, Dell's experience in the European countries has led to a rise in Dell's sales in the quarter.

According to data obtained by Gartner, the Chinese server market has grown by 21.6% compared with the same period last year, with the main revenue coming from internet companies (CRN).

Companies like Amazon, Microsoft and Google are buying low-cost, efficient, high-density, customized servers. As a result, Dell quickly created a sales channel for data center solutions, and Hewlett-Packard reacted much more slowly.
