St*vi&E - Our Little Dell Site Sniffer - Re: "The great Wintel click appears to be dying a slow death." You should get the BIG PICTURE : Servers with Microsoft's Windows NT also saw healthy growth, as revenue increased 33 percent from one year earlier to nearly $3.8 billion in the fourth quarter. Microsoft NT-based systems for the year brought in revenue of $13.9 billion -- 31 percent more than in 1999, IDC said. Unix-based servers, meanwhile, saw a revenue increase of 18 percent for the fourth quarter and a 14 percent increase for the year. Unix-based server revenue reached $29 billion for 2000, IDC said. Published at: Wednesday, Mar. 14, 2001 7:18 am PT IDC: Fourth-quarter server market strong; revenue hits $16.7 billion By James Evans THE WORLDWIDE SERVER market remained strong in the fourth quarter of 2000, as factory revenue approached $16.7 billion and server shipments surpassed 1.2 million units, according to a study released Wednesday. The factory revenue figures were 14 percent greater than the fourth quarter of 1999, while the shipments were 16 percent stronger than the same period in 1999, according to a new study by IDC (International Data Corp.). In the fourth quarter, the top five server vendors accounted for almost 80 percent of the worldwide factory revenue, IDC said. IBM led with 27 percent of the market share; Compaq and Sun Microsystems held 16.34 percent and 16.32 percent of the market, respectively; Hewlett-Packard held the fourth spot with 14 percent; while Dell held the fifth post at 6 percent market share, IDC said. Rack-optimized servers drove a strong percentage of the growth and are viewed as attractive because of recent technology enhancements, said Vernon Turner, IDC's vice president of Global Enterprise Server Solutions, in a statement. Revenue from rack-optimized servers rose 257 percent year-to-year, IDC said. That compares to the rest of the server market decreasing almost 6 percent. Linux operating system-based servers also showed strong growth in the fourth quarter, IDC said. Linux-based server revenue grew 79 percent in the fourth quarter of 2000, compared to the same quarter one year earlier. For the year, Linux-based servers generated $1.7 billion in revenue for the market, 132 percent more than in 1999, IDC said. Servers with Microsoft's Windows NT also saw healthy growth, as revenue increased 33 percent from one year earlier to nearly $3.8 billion in the fourth quarter. Microsoft NT-based systems for the year brought in revenue of $13.9 billion -- 31 percent more than in 1999, IDC said. Unix-based servers, meanwhile, saw a revenue increase of 18 percent for the fourth quarter and a 14 percent increase for the year. Unix-based server revenue reached $29 billion for 2000, IDC said. For the full year 2000, IDC reported that the worldwide server market topped $60.2 billion in factory revenue on shipments of 4.4 million units. The figures translate to a 7 percent annual revenue growth and 17 percent shipment growth, according to IDC. Similar to the fourth-quarter vendor leader board, IBM led the way with 23 percent of the worldwide market revenue in 2000. IBM was followed by Sun with 17 percent, Compaq with 16.5 percent, Hewlett-Packard with 15 percent, and Dell with 6 percent, IDC said.
