Hewlett-Packard Company (HPQ) overcame intense competition to take back the number one position in the global server market by securing a 28.1% factory revenue share in the third quarter (3Q) of fiscal year 2013 (FY13), an year-over-year (YoY) increase of 1.5%. This jump was the result of increased demand for the x86 architecture based ProLiant servers.
IBM (IBM) slipped down to number two with a 23.4% factory revenue share, a decline of 4.5% from 3Q of last year. The decrease in demand for IBM’s System X and Power Systems was the main reason for the decline. Dell Inc. (Dell) maintained its position in third place but its market share declined 6% to 16.2% due to lower sales of servers and custom built systems. Oracle Corporation (ORCL) also saw its market share fall due to a decrease in the demand for Unix servers while ODM Direct gained market share, moving up to 6.5% from 4.3%. Cisco's (CSCO) market share also increased from 3.3% to 5.0%.
