Book Description


This IDC Insight highlights the most significant forecast adjustments for the server market and what they represent. Additionally, we are presenting some of underlying assumptions for market and technology adoption changes that have an impact on the market segments identified.

IDC continually monitors existing market conditions and vendor product strategies to determine if our forecast for all segments of the market make sense going forward. When we recognize that there have been changes in vendor/product strategies or differences between our original expectation versus current reality for a specific technology or form factor, we make adjustments to the forecast. There have been a number of questions regarding IDC's most recent server forecast (see Worldwide and U.S. Server 2004-2008 Forecast Update: 1H04, IDC #<A href="/getdoc.jhtml?containerId=32034">32034</A>, October 2004) and the changes that were introduced as a result of changing market and technology adoption patterns.
