Abstract
This IDC study provides residual value forecasts for HP ProLiant servers. The
study explains the current market conditions that are affecting the value of
used hardware on the secondary market and the future technological changes that
will further impact these values. We explore the factors impacting the Standard
Intel Architecture Server (SIAS) market and the price/performance increases
expected over the next several years. This information helps those who invest
in ProLiant hardware to assess their risk and provides guidance on the amount
of residual value that is expected to be realized at the end of the lease term.
"The dynamics of leasing volume servers is changing as the server technologies
evolve. Technologies that increase utilization rates and enable virtualization
will drive volume servers deeper into the datacenter." - Jennifer Koppy,
research manager, IDC' s Technology Valuation Service
