India Server Market shows signs of growth, IDC 
According to International Data Corporation (IDC) APeJ server tracker; the x86 server market in India grew by 10% in terms of unit shipments in Q3 2014 as compared to Q3 2013. The major contributors to this growth were Professional Services, Communications & Media, Banking and Retail verticals.
The non x86 server market, however, saw a decline of 58% in terms of revenue in Q3 2014 as compared to Q3 2013 due to large refreshes in the verticals like banking and telecom being on hold due to various factors. This market is expected to revive in the coming quarters as these verticals battle the need for more compute due to transitioning needs of their business teams.
According to Janmaijai Dhyani, Server Market Analyst, "Large deals in professional services vertical that were on hold previously due to elections, are opening up now as there is a stable government at the centre. Continued investments by the Communications & Media vertical in 4G rollouts is another reason that is driving the server market in Q3 2014. It is noteworthy that the retail vertical has seen increased investments as there is a lot of funding inflow here.”
In the Indian x86 server market, HP continued to lead in Q3 2014 with 33% share in terms of units, followed by Dell with a share of 29%. HP saw a decline of 12%, while Dell grew by 17% in terms of units (Q3 2014 as compared to Q2 2014). Dell was at the top spot in terms of revenue with a market share of 38%, while HP was at 31%. The growth in Dell market share was largely due to investments by Retail vertical.
