Off the Wire - Server rev down but look at Dells growth in the area. newsalert.com >GartnerGroup's Dataquest Reports U.S. Server Market Declined 4.3 Percent in the Fourth Quarter; Dataquest Predicts 99 Conference to Examine Future of the Server Industry Jump to first matched term SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 24, 1999--The U.S. server market experienced mixed results as revenue dropped 4.3 percent in the fourth quarter of 1998, while U.S. server shipments grew 15.9 percent over the fourth quarter of last year, according to Dataquest Inc., a unit of Gartner Group, Inc. (NYSE:IT). The decrease in revenue is due to falling prices resulting in U.S. server revenue of $4.4 billion in the fourth quarter of 1998, down from $4.6 billion in the fourth quarter of 1997. Shipments reached 306,000 units. "Entry level server unit growth was greater than 19 percent, but revenues remained flat, as technology differentiation in this segment has all but disappeared and logistics execution has become more important," said Angela Dehzad, analyst for Dataquest's Servers Quarterly Statistics United States program. IBM held onto the No. 1 position in the fourth quarter despite flat growth over last year. Compaq had low growth of 4.6 percent, but remained in the No. 2 position. Three of the top five vendors showed very positive year-over-year growth, with Dell growing an astounding 95.3 percent (see Table 1). Table 1 U. S.
