The Taiwanese Server System Industry, 3Q 2009

Abstract

This research report presents shipment volume and value forecasts and recent quarter review of the Taiwanese server system industry. The report includes server full system and barebone shipment volume, shipment value, ASP, volume and share by maker and by price point, and manufacturer volume ranking. The report analyzes shipment by CPU architecture and CPU count. Production locations, shipment destinations, business types, and customer portfolios are also examined. The content of this report is based on primary data obtained through interviews with server makers. The report finds that the Taiwanese server system industry saw both shipment volume and value declines in the second quarter of 2009. Although the second-half shipment volume and value are forecasted to grow sequentially, the performance is still expected to pale in comparison with the same period in 2008.
