Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Interestingly, when you look at non-x86 servers compared
to x86 servers, you can see how the former was shedding revenue like a
snake sheds its skin with a decline of 6.3 percent over the same
quarter last year and units down by 16 percent.
EPIC revenue, however, experienced growth of
some 16.3 percent but RISC was hammered to the tune of 15.5 percent
over the same quarter last year.
Revenue from x86 servers declined only slightly, down 1.7 percent.
All the main operating systems suffered revenue losses, apart from two
that is. Windows growth was described as being 'quasi-flat' and IBM's z
OS up by 11 percent. Unix did badly, down 5.7 percent.
Bladed servers did very well overall, up a whopping 37.5 percent with
revenue approaching half a billion dollars US. Sales of both pedestal
and rack servers were down though.
When it comes to vendors, HP performed best with a 2.4 percent growth
mainly coming from the industry standard Proliant line accounting for
67.3 per cent of total revenue.
IBM pretty much stood still as far as revenue share is concerned, but
Sun Microsystems lost server market share compared to the same quarter
a year ago. Dell enjoyed an annual revenue increase thanks to a good
performance from the x86 PowerEdge servers.
