| IBM steals server sales from Sun |
|---|
IBM extended its lead in the server market in the second quarter of 2003, stealing a sizable slice of the worldwide market for the powerful computers away from Sun Microsystems, a new study shows.
Sales of IBM servers increased 10.1 percent to $3.2 billion, giving Big Blue 30.4 percent of the $10.6 billion market, according to new figures released by market share researcher IDC. Third-ranked Sun Microsystems, meanwhile, saw revenue fall 18.7 percent to $1.4 billion.
The 2002 merger with Compaq Computer wasn't enough to put second-place Hewlett-Packard ahead of IBM, but the company did increase server sales a slight 0.4 percent to $2.9 billion, IDC said. Fourth-ranked Dell increased sales 10 percent to $980 million.
