IBM is still top dog in the sector and didn't suffer from the general market downturn. Its sales grew 13 per cent in the period to $3.3 billion.

The Windows server market grew seven per cent in Q1 to $3.2 billion, and the Unix market slipped two per cent to $6.5 billion. Sun's got 32 per cent of the Unix market with sales of $2 billion; HP's got 25 per cent with sales of $1.6 billion and IBM's in third place with a 21 per cent share and sales of $1.4 billion.
