New Q2 data from Reno-based Synergy Research Group shows that HP gained leadership of the rapidly growing cloud infrastructure equipment market, having lagged closely behind Cisco through 2013 and 2014.
According to a news release, in Q1 the two vendors were tied, but in Q2 HP opened up a lead by achieving much stronger sequential revenue growth. The two leading vendors are each achieving stellar revenue growth in the burgeoning market, but as HP maintained a 13 percent worldwide market share in Q2, Cisco’s share dropped by half a percentage point. The two are followed by Microsoft, Dell, IBM, EMC, VMware, Lenovo and Oracle.
