After further review, IBM still tops in server revenue
Hewlett-Packard’s reign as king of server mountain didn’t last very long.
Gartner said today that it revised its closely watched estimates of server revenue and put IBM back atop the pile for the first quarter of 2008.
The technology-research firm’s initial report had credited H-P with $4.0 billion in server revenue, compared with IBM’s $3.9 billion. It was the first time H-P had taken the top spot.
While the revised report keeps IBM at $3.9 billion for the first quarter, it drops H-P to $3.8 billion. That gives IBM 29.4 percent of worldwide server revenue and H-P 28.3 percent. Dell remains third with 12.3 percent of worldwide server revenue.
Gartner analyst Jeffrey Hewitt said the firm revised its figures based on “updated guidance and additional analysis of the data.”
