Abstract
This IDC study provides residual value forecasts of HP' s Integrity
and PA-RISC servers. The study explains the current market conditions
that are affecting the value of used hardware on the
secondary market and what future technological changes will further impact
these values. We explore the factors impacting this space of
the server market and the technology changes expected over the
next several years. This information helps those who invest in
hardware assess their risk and provides guidance on the amount
of residual value that is expected to be realized at
the end of lease term.
“The recent announcement of another delay
for Tukwila is a setback for HP and its Integrity
customers. We expect HP to work closely with its installed
base as it awaits the new servers. All server vendors
are expected to face an aggressive discounting climate in 4Q09,
which will impact both new server pricing and secondary market
equipment values.” Susan G. Middleton, research director, Technology Valuation.
