Dubai: HP retained top spot in the overall MEA server market in 2013 with over 42.3 per cent share, followed by Dell and IBM, industry experts said.
“Cisco emerged as a bright spot in the MEA server market in 2013, recording year-on-year growth of 57.5 per cent and taking considerable share away from the market leaders owing to its aggressive blade server strategy across the region,” said Zeeshan Gaya, research manager for systems and infrastructure solutions at International Data Corporation (IDC).
“EMC continued its dominance of the region’s external storage market, with 37.7 per cent share of total disk storage, followed by IBM and HP,” said Swapna Subramani, senior research analyst for storage systems at IDC.
