There are some slight variations on the latest results for third-quarter server shipments and revenues from Gartner and IDC, but the two research companies agree that IBM seems to have profited at the expense of HP and Oracle. According to Gartner, Q3 server shipments grew 7.2% year-on-year, with revenue up 5.2%, with Big Blue narrowly beating out HP for top revenues. IDC put factory revenue up 4.2% YoY, shipments up 4%, but also had IBM supplanting HP from its long-held domination of the market.
