September 6, 2008

Consult a company according to Gaodena (Gartner) report to what server of whole world of the 2nd quarter sold 2008, this year in the server business of the 2nd quarter, IBM and Dai Ercheng win the home for two the biggest. photograph comparing, the outstanding achievement of HP inferiors to prepare a bit, be in steadily forward condition.

But, SUN lost share of a few markets in competition however.

As a whole, photograph of total sales of global server market grew 12.2% than the corresponding period, but total sale grew 5.7% only however. Be in whole in the 2nd quarter, total of global server profit is 13.8 million dollar, total sales is 2.3 million.

In gain respect, IBM still ranks first of numerous server manufacturer, this company is in this profit from the powerful sale outstanding achievement on high-end product, basically include the sale of system of server of P series Unix and system of Z series central processing unit. In the 2nd quarter, although the product of IBM holds some market share not quite, but the of 31.2% profit in obtaining the whole world to sell amount however. Will look on sales volume, 13.2% what the sale of IBM occupies global gross only, be in position of tertiary of sales volume a list of names posted up.

These data also reacted the P series of IBM and system of Z series server are to exceed high-end equipment, every price arrives in 6 digit between 7 digit. Accordingly, these products won’t be the only way of 3000 dollars and two-way server to rely on an amount to gain profit in that way like price. In nearly a few the middle of a month, IBM improved the server of P series and Z series afresh again, this action promotes the demand of the market probably also.

Will look from sale, HP is in the first place of each manufacturer, have the market of 30.2% to have rate, increased 8.7 percent. But, increase rate and business grow to rapid Dai Er rises quite or be slightly worse. In last few years, server sale of Dai Er is in every year with the speed of 24.2% rapid growth, increase rate exceeds all and other manufacturer. In the meantime, dai Er also is the firm with the biggest growth of the profit margin in all server manufacturer, increase rate is achieved 15.0% .

Nevertheless, the analyst Jeffrey Hewitt of Gartner still reminds: “Everybody does not forget, dai Er basically still relies on the sale of American market, get higher to the dependence of American market than adversary HP much. And the professional work of HP is early implemented the change to globalization. Accordingly, dai Er also is seeking the business to the international market to grow, this company also is carrying out way of strategy of a few globalization hard. I think these measure are useful to them. I think these measure are useful to them..

Hewitt still says, growth of business of the high-speed that wear Er is not to come from in total sales the biggest two-way server sells a share, basically is to come from at high end and low end the sale of the server. Of Dai Er advocate 4 servers that making a product is freeboard end and the only way server that are used at handling small task.

“Can say IBM to have dominant place in high-end server sale, and Dai Er is in X86 is low the rule the region in carrying a server. In the meantime, dai Er also with its 4 Socket server received share of market of partial high end. “Hewitt says.

2007 in the 2nd quarter, volume of HP server shipment rose 8.7% , finance income grew 2.9% . But in this quarter, the market of HP had the difference between rate and the Dai Erzhi that are in the 2nd to reduce 3.4% . To this, HP is not afraid, this company still has the market of 30.2% , and in bit (Blade) also be on server market with of 45.2% have lead be far ahead all competitors.

Computer of compact to main development instruction (RISC) for the Intel of the market and SUN, the form is not very hopeful however. The volume of shipment of server of Itanium Unix RISC of Intel glided 7.9% , nevertheless earnings grew 9.4% . This to multilayer a good news still is for processing system, also react nevertheless gave an user decreasing to RISC processor demand. To this, hewitt judges exposition and argumentation: “Because RISC market was stayed by limitation,this is. “Because RISC market was stayed by limitation,this is..

The SUN wanting number with worst business, the sale of the X86 series product of this company is not very hot, and the RISC product sale of the company is in however glide. Arrived 2007 during 2008, although the X86 product sale of SUN raised 218 million dollar from 203 million dollar, but RISC sale also dropped from 1.6 million dollar 1.4 million dollar.

“I am certain the product of SUN will get all the time the favour of new user. But, I think the UltraSPARC system of SUN and X86 system do not have effective ground to go to market development the new user market besides traditional user. I think the UltraSPARC system of SUN and X86 system do not have effective ground to go to market development the new user market besides traditional user..

Finally, hewitt predicts to be in the time that went 2008, SUN will still continue the sale case of this quarter. Finance income growth is under one digit, sales volume growth is in arrive between two digit, rising market will have increase certainly.
