Gartner Says the Worldwide Server Shipments Grew 3.6 Per Cent; Revenue Declined 2.8 Per Cent in the Third Quarter of 2012

In EMEA, Server Shipments and Revenue Declined in the Third Quarter of 2012.

In the third quarter of 2012 worldwide server shipments grew 3.6 per cent year-on-year, while revenue decreased 2.8 per cent from the third quarter of 2011, according to Gartner, Inc.

“The third quarter of 2012 again produced shipment growth on a worldwide level, but server revenue was weak due to ongoing economic weakness and market segment differences,” said Jeffrey Hewitt, research vice president at Gartner. “Only the North America and Asia/Pacific regions managed any revenue growth, and even those were essentially flat year-to-year, with North America showing a 1.1 per cent increase and Asia/Pacific a 0.7 per cent increase. The picture in terms of shipments was slightly more positive with North America, Latin America and Asia/Pacific all growing, but both EMEA and Japan continue to struggle and both saw shipments contract, compared to the same period last year.”
