Details: Category: News; By Carlos Martinez; Tuesday, October 13, 2009

Hewlett-Packard continues to demonstrate its strength in the Spanish x86 server market with over 50% market share in both units shipped and revenue in the second quarter of 2009, according to data from the technology consultancy IDC(1). In the blade server segment, this share is even higher, exceeding 60% in both categories.

Thus, one out of every two x86 servers sold in Spain bears the HP label.

Furthermore, while the market has experienced a 33.4% decline in units supplied compared to the same period last year, Hewlett-Packard has achieved a year-on-year growth in market share of 2.5 points.
“In a challenging economic climate, these results demonstrate HP’s strength in Spain in a field as crucial to the business world as servers,” says José María de la Torre, Director of the Enterprise Storage and Server division for Spain and Portugal. “This strength is being recognized by Spanish companies, which continue to invest in a differentiated value proposition that helps them implement next-generation IT solutions, enabling them to face a truly challenging environment with greater confidence.”.

According to data provided by IDC for the second quarter of 2009(1), HP holds the leading position in the Spanish x86 server market in terms of units shipped, with a market share of 52.29%, far ahead of its second competitor (18.7%) and third (11.9%).
According to the consulting firm, of the 19,192 x86 units shipped in Spain, 10,036 were HP,
more than the combined total of all other manufacturers.
Furthermore, HP achieved market share growth compared to the same period last year, reaching 52.29% compared to 49.8% in the second quarter of 2008.
In terms of revenue, Hewlett-Packard's market share is 52.16%, compared to 48.2% in the same period of 2008, while its closest competitor holds 19%, compared to 25.4% a year earlier.
In the blade server category, HP's dominance is even greater, with over 60% market share in both units and revenue. In units, HP holds a 62.84% share compared to 50.22% in the same period of the previous year, significantly more than its closest competitor (24.31% versus 32.12% a year earlier). Thus, of the 3,423 blade servers sold in Spain, 2,151 are HP.
Regarding revenue, Hewlett-Packard's dominance is even more pronounced, with a 64.95% share, compared to 18.6% for its main competitor.
