According to figures just released by the institute Gartner, the server market would have risen 16.4% between the fourth quarter 2009 and fourth quarter 2010, reaching 14.68 billion dollars. IBM consolidates its leading position with 35.5% market share, while HP is still second with 30.4%. After Dell (13.1%), Oracle (5.5% market share, down 16.2%) and Fujitsu (3.8%).
In terms of volume, it is HP remains the leader with more than 767,000 units sold during the fourth quarter (+6.9%) against 515,274 units for Dell and "only" 332,254 servers for IBM. We note in passing that Oracle saw its shipments of servers to contract by 40.8%, with only 36,614 servers sold.

Dell 14.7%, while Oracle and Fujitsu respectively down 6.3% and 4.4% market share. Finally, four of the five major manufacturers have increased their volume server sales in 2010, and only Oracle has seen its sales drop significantly with only 162,340 units sold, more than 237 against 000 in 2009.
