The triple-play of resurgent enterprise spending, the continuing trend toward consolidation and virtualization, and the use of new processor chip technology made for significant gains in the year-over-year sales of HP x86-based servers by Logicalis, an international provider of integrated information and communications technology (ICT) solutions and services. In its fiscal Q1 ended April 30, 2010, the solution provider noted that sales of HP x86-based servers, including the popular ProLiant, Integrity and BladeSystem servers, had soared a staggering 124% over the same period the year prior.

“We’re proud of the fact that, as a 15-year HP partner and as a Converged Infrastructure Elite partner, we have access to the latest HP server technology, which has helped us deliver HP solutions to our enterprise and midsize customers,” said Brandon Harris, Logicalis Vice President, HP Solutions. “Combined with our ability to provide software and consulting services, we have been in a winning position to help customers benefit from new server technologies in their businesses.”
Enterprise customers, who had held off on IT spending last year, were this year spending on the technology lifecycle refresh required in their data centers in order to take advantage of the performance increase, significant return and savings offered by newer server technologies. In addition, the trend toward server virtualization and consolidation in the data center made for additional purchases of new blade server architecture. These two trends were supported by new, competitive moves by HP, including co-development between the vendor and chip-makers Intel and AMD that enabled the embedding of technology to allow customers to better capture, monitor and manage their enterprise power usage.
This power usage technology enables customers to monitor server racks and, if necessary, redistribute and rebalance computing tasks among processors, effectively changing the power profile of the servers and lowering overall energy consumption accordingly.
HP announced that revenue for “industry standard servers” had increased 54 percent in the same period. Researcher IDC noted that the vendor held the No. 1 spot among competitors for worldwide server market share.
