Global server shipments 'continue to grow'
27 Aug 2008
The number of servers being shipped worldwide continues to increase, according to figures from industry analyst Gartner.
In the second quarter of 2008, the organisation assesses the global market as having grown by 12 per cent, with revenues across the sector up by a more modest six per cent.
Jeffrey Hewitt, research vice-president at Gartner, says: "In spite of economic constraints in some markets like the US, on a worldwide basis servers continued to grow in the second quarter of the year."
In all, some 2.3 million units were shipped by the companies tracked by Gartner during the three-month reporting period.
Fujitsu Siemens Computers was among the firms to increase its output year-on-year, growing from having shipped 59,142 servers in the second quarter of 2007 to 61,077 in the same period of 2008.
Gartner previously estimated that spending across the IT sector during the whole of 2008 could surpass figures for the previous year by as much as eight per cent..
