Scrapping For Share As The Market Slows #DellEMC was the only major vendor to notch server revenue and shipment growth in the first quarter as a market waiting for the next major processor and moving away from high-end hardware handed #Cisco, #HewlettPackard Enterprise and #Lenovo declines that were in some cases dramatic. Worldwide server revenue declined 4.6 percent year over year in the first quarter, according to research firm IDC. IDC said the slowdown is the result of customers, especially hyper-scale service providers, waiting for Intel's new Skylake processors to hit the market later this year, as well as dramatically rising memory prices and the market's continued move away from high-end servers. Server shipments were up 1.4 percent year over year during the quarter, according to IDC. Dell EMC saw minimal growth in shipments, while Chinese data center upstarts #Huawei and Inspur both increased shipments by double digits year over year.
Of the major vendors included in IDC's data, only #DellEMC made server revenue gains during the first quarter, posting a 4.7 percent increase and finishing the period with revenue of $2.4 billion. That's in stark contrast to #HPE, which saw server revenue fall nearly 16 percent to $2.9 billion and #Cisco, which posted a 3 percent revenue decline to finish the quarter at about $825 million. #Lenovo 's first-quarter server revenue fell 16.5 percent year over year to $727 million.
