Apple's server shipments up 350%
By ron carlson, Insanely Great Mac
January 11th 2003
Though still under 1 percent of the overall market, the mothership seems to have hit
the right tack
Quoting numbers attributed to Internet World, MacInTouch? Q3 '01 2,049
? Q2 '02 3,937
? Q3 '02 7,484
The average growth rate for the period was 1.8 percent in comparison to 3.1 percent
for the Q3 '00 to Q3 '01 time frame.
The market leaders were HP, Fujitsu Siemens and Dell. Of the traditional top network
iron makers, Sun was the only to report negative growth (-14.2 percent).
In late October of last year, IGM reported similarly encouraging numbers for the Q2
'01 to Q2 '02 period that indicated that Cupertino had risen to become the No. 5
vendor of back office iron.
Editor's note: The fact that Apple's server sales had begun to grow significantly
before the arrival Xserve seems indicative that X' Unix underpinnings had begun to
attract administrators. With Xserve in place and Jaguar released, as well as a growing
range of X-compatible enterprise apps, the company's subsequent quarters should be as
if not more impressive.
