IDC has revealed global server market share for the second quarter of 2013. IBM leads, ahead of HP.
Server market revenue decreased 6.2 percent year over year to $11.9 billion in the second quarter of 2013.
Server unit shipments decreased 1.2 percent to 2 million.
Demand for midrange and high-end systems experienced year-over-year revenue declines of 22.3 percent and 9.5 percent respectively.
IDC said all three segments were impacted by relatively difficult year-over-year compares combined with transitions in the technology refresh cycles.
Mainstream SMB and enterprise server customers continue to focus on consolidation, virtualization, and migration initiatives aimed at increasing efficiency and lowering datacenter infrastructure costs. At the same time, challenging economic conditions are dampening demand for new IT projects necessary to grow the server market.
