According to International Data Corporation's (IDC) Q1CY00 Server Tracker report, Sun shipped twice as many UNIX servers as HP and nearly three times as many as IBM -- ending the quarter with a resounding 38 percent share. It was the 12th consecutive quarter that Sun lead in UNIX server shipments. Sun was also number one in UNIX server revenue with 32 percent market share -- a category the company has led for five consecutive quarters. Sun servers continue at an unparalled growth rate. The company posted 51 percent higher shipments and 27 percent more revenue in Q1CY00 than in the same period last year, and in the process outpaced its nearest rivals in both UNIX and total (UNIX, Windows NT and other platforms) server markets. This growth was propelled by astounding performance in the entry-level UNIX server space where the popularity of the Sun Enterprise[tm] workgroup, Sun Enterprise 3500 and Netra[tm] servers were responsible for a whopping 62 percent growth rate (Q1CY00 over Q1CY99) to take a staggering 39 percent of the market in unit shipments -- well more than double the next closest vendor, HP with 16 percent. Sun also led this class in revenue scoring 39 percent of the market and a 29 percent quarter-over-quarter growth rate.
