Who are the biggest server vendors for Q3, 2006?

According to Gartner, the worldwide server sales grew by 4.4% to US$13 billion in Q3, 2006, and they’re still growing, although not quite as much as last year. Because of the virtualisation technology, people don’t have a need to buy as many servers as they used to.

Dell ranked third with 10.8% market share and $1.4 billion revenue. Sun Microsystems ranked fourth with 10.1% market share and $1.3 billion revenue.
