Jenom bych rad vsem rekl, ze je treba nejdrive pochopit co IDC cisla namenaji a pak teprve vypoustet sve rozumy.
IDC's Server Taxonomy maps the eleven price bands within the server market into three price ranges: volume servers (servers priced less than $25,000), midrange enterprise servers ($25,000 to $499,999), and high-end enterprise servers ($500,000 or more). The revenue data presented in this release is stated as factory revenue for a server system. IDC presents data in factory revenue to determine market-share position. Factory revenue represents those dollars recognized by multi-user system and server vendors for ISS and upgrade units sold through direct and indirect channels and includes the following embedded server components: Frame or cabinet and all cables, processors, memory, communications boards, operating system software, other bundled software and initial internal and external disk shipments.
Znamena to, ze se prodalo za 17.7 miliardy prodalo HW vc."bundled software" kde byl ve finale instalovan Windows Server, za 17,5 HW kde byl ve finale instalovan UNIX a za 5,3 HW kde byl nakonec instalovan Linux.
