Unix server factory revenue in Western Europe in 2004
-----------------------------------------------------
According to Nathaniel Martinez, program manager with IDCs European
Enterprise Server Solutions, the Unix server factory revenue came to
$5.6 billion in Western Europe in 2004.
Excerpt:
"Although Unix server factory revenue came to $5.6 billion in Western
Europe in 2004, the value of the European Unix server market can be
estimated to be several times that, given the multiplier effect of
accounting for all of the software, storage, and services that are
sold on the Unix server platform each year," said Nathaniel Martinez,
program manager with IDCs European Enterprise Server Solutions. "As a
result, vendors are increasingly looking at Unix servers as the
foundation for an overall solutions-based sale, combining servers with
software and services revenue and bringing more revenue and
profitability than Unix server sales alone would do."

The dollar value of the worldwide server market during 2004
-----------------------------------------------------------
According to the IDC study below, the value of the worldwide server
market was $53 billion during 2004.
Abstract
?This IDC study discusses the worldwide server market, which grew 5.1%
to just over $53 billion during 2004.?
"Although there were positive signs, with solid server spending growth
in many regions, expectations for a rapid return to the growth
experienced in the late 1990s are unrealistic based on the diverse
economic environments around the world." Steve Josselyn, research
director, Global Enterprise Server Solutions
