Boost to the mainframe server business While the numbers of servers sold worldwide rose in the second quarter 2011 by 8.5 percent over the same period last year to 2.1 million, could the producers look forward to a revenue growth of nearly 18 percent to 13.2 billion U.S. dollars, as the market researchers IDC report. Particularly on large mainframe computers of the class above-average growth by almost 23 percent was recorded. This benefited IBM and Fujitsu. With the K computer took over the Japanese not only the leadership in the Top500 list of supercomputers, the computer gave Fujitsu a quarterly comparison also a boost in sales of more than 130 percent. According to IDC, only the C computer has significantly helped to make climbing the sales proceeds of Linux systems by 47.5 percent to 2.1 billion U.S. dollars. Linux server thus cover a fifth of the total market.
IBM mainframe computers due to the System z platform, covering approximately 9 percent of the market, again well into double-digit sales growth. In the fourth quarter in a row selling IBM System z computer equivalent of over one billion U.S. dollars and prides itself on having in the second quarter of this year was more than 840 customers worldwide replaces server systems from competitors. Measured over all server classes across IBM increased its sales by 24.5 percent to around 4 billion U.S. dollars and closed it back up at Hewlett-Packard at the market peak. The two rivals meet jointly significantly from more than half (60.3 percent) of the overall server business worldwide.
The bulk of the delivered systems continue to represent the x86 server, where sales fell by 15.1 percent according to IDC, over the second quarter of 2010 to 8.4 billion U.S. dollars rose. The unit sales climbed by 5.4 percent while 1.9 million servers. Unlike the rather sluggish PC business here put the average selling prices (average selling price - ASP) in the ninth quarter in a row. This trend will continue for some time, said IDC analyst Reuben Miller, as business customers consolidate their IT infrastructure more and more on x86 servers and to purchase computers in higher configurations. The ensuing trend to blade servers remain unbroken. Revenue from blade servers grew in the quarter compared to almost 27 percent to around 2 billion U.S. dollars, while unit sales rose by over 6 percent. Blade servers - including 89 percent of x86 systems - from now cover about 15 percent of total server revenue.
