最近,IBM公司丢掉了PC服务器市场中仅次于Compaq公司的第二把交椅。这是四年来IBM头一次排行第三,它落在了Compaq和HP两家公司的后面。据IDC公司11月中旬发表的一份报告称,由于缺乏2GB和4GB磁盘驱动器从而导致的服务器订货拖延是造成IBM公司排名下降的直接原因。另外,IBM还把两笔大的服务器销售交易推迟到了第四季度,这也使其目前上市的服务器台数相对较少。 Recently, IBM lost the second place in the PC server market after Compaq. This is IBM’s first ranking for the first time in four years. It falls behind Compaq and HP. According to a report released by IDC in mid-November, the delay in server ordering due to the lack of 2GB and 4GB disk drives was the direct cause of IBM’s decline. In addition, IBM also postponed two large server sales transactions to the fourth quarter, which also makes it relatively few servers currently listed.
