Server-Auslieferungen stiegen dagegen um 1,7 Prozent im Jahresvergleich
»Obwohl der Umsatz mit Servern zurückgegangen ist, setzte sich das Wachstum bei den Auslieferungen im ersten Quartal 2016 auf globaler Ebene fort – allerdings mit regionalen Abweichungen«, erläutert Jeffrey Hewitt, Research Vice President beim IT-Research und Beratungsunternehmen Gartner. »Der sinkende Umsatz bei wachsenden Auslieferungen zeigt, dass die Server, die in diesem Zeitraum geliefert wurden, durchschnittlich geringere Verkaufspreise hatten als letztes Jahr im selben Zeitraum.«
Gartner Says Worldwide Server Revenue Declined 2.3 Percent in the First Quarter of 2016, While Shipments Increased 1.7 Percent
In the first quarter of 2016, worldwide server revenue declined 2.3 percent year over year, while shipments grew 1.7 percent from the first quarter of 2015, according to Gartner, Inc.
»Although revenue declined, the first quarter of 2016 continued with a trend of low-level shipments growth on a global level with a variation in results by region,« said Jeffrey Hewitt, research vice president at Gartner. »The drop in revenues in light of shipment increases demonstrates that the servers that shipped during the period had lower average selling prices than those that shipped in the same time frame last year.«
All regions showed a decline in either shipments and/or vendor revenue except for Asia/Pacific, which posted 9.7 percent growth in revenue and 8.4 percent growth in shipments for the period. Western Europe grew 1.4 percent in shipments and 1.5 percent in revenue. North America posted a 1 percent increase in shipments but declined 5.9 percent year over year in revenue.
»The real driver of global growth continues to be the hyperscale data center segment. The enterprise and small or midsize business (SMB) segments remain relatively flat as end users in these segments accommodated their increased application requirements through virtualization and considered cloud alternatives,« Mr. Hewitt said.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) continued to lead in the worldwide server market, based on revenue, with a 25.2 percent market share (see Table 1). HPE was the only vendor in the top five to experience growth in the first quarter of 2016. Despite a decline of 1.4 percent, Dell maintained the second spot in the market with 17.3 percent market share. IBM secured the third position with 9.7 percent of the market, but experienced the largest decline among the top five vendors.

Of the top five vendors in server shipments worldwide, only Huawei and Inspur produced shipment increases.
