New Delhi: The global enterprise server market grew 19.8 per cent in the second quarter (year over year) to reach $24 billion on robust demand, according to a new report.

HPE/New H3C Group finished the quarter with market share of 14.9 per cent while Dell Technologies captured a 13.9 per cent share of worldwide revenues.

"We certainly see areas of reduced spending, but this was offset by investments made by large cloud builders and enterprises targeting solutions that support shifting infrastructure needs caused by the global pandemic," said Paul Maguranis, senior research analyst, Infrastructure Platforms and Technologies at IDC.

Investments in Asia/Pacific were also particularly strong, growing 31 per cent year over year.

Inspur/Inspur Power Systems took third place with 10.5 per cent share.

Lenovo and IBM tied for fourth spot with 6.1 per cent and 6 per cent share, respectively.
