Technology Spotlight: 1998 Server Market (& Prospects for 1999) Cricket: I see a very healthy market for servers in 1999 compared to 1988 going by this report,should be good news for DELL especially considering the Dell's market share in this segment. ======================== By Maryann Jones Thompson Most American workers would agree that their jobs depend increasingly on the Net, as becomes painfully clear when the proxy server crashes in the middle of a workday. Aside from times of trouble, it can be easy to forget that complex hardware and software keep the Internet Economy humming along. Last week, International Data Corp. released its preliminary estimate of the 1998 server hardware and software markets. Growth in hardware revenue slowed considerably, compared to growth in 1997. IDC analyst Amir Ahari attributes this lack of growth to the price-slashing that followed inventory-supply woes among PC server vendors. With this problem cleared up, Ahari expects "first quarter to be phenomenal and 1999 to be a very strong year." In contrast, the market in server operating environments grew 25 percent, largely due to a 212 percent increase in Linux shipments. But open-source software doesn't put much meat on the table. According to IDC research manager Jean Bozman, Linux revenue totaled $33 million in 1998, compared to $2.8 billion for Unix systems.
