back to article HP overtakes Cisco in cloud infrastructure revenues

HP sells more cloud infrastructure equipment than anyone else, including Cisco, which was shunted into second place for the first time in Q2, 2015. Cisco is unlikely to be too dismayed, as both companies are recording "stellar growth in the burgeoning market", running at some $16bn a quarter and growing 25 per cent year on …

    So...

    Who was the loser in cloud sales?

    Would it be fair to guess HP won the additional sales at the expense of Lenovo as the IBM server business transitioned?

      It's cloud, it's infrastructure. It's infrastructure in the cloud. And Dell gets a nod in the article....

        True, but then there was also a nod to VMware and Microsoft. Both are companies that - while playing a crucial role in the marketplace - are not particularly well known for selling infrastructure equipment.

    So that's ok then

    As we all know, Cisco dominates networking equipment sales and is doing well in servers, while HP dominates cloud servers, a bigger market, and is 'a main challenger' in storage. Microsoft ranks highly by dint of its server OS and virtualization applications, and Dell and IBM score well across a "range of cloud technology markets".

    Everybody's growing market share, is that what this is telling me? Is this a new maths for a new millennium? The new technologies are changing the landscape so everybody wins!!

    What is cloud infrastructure? Because AWS and Azure don't use any of this stuff. How is the infrastructure used in public cloud nothing at all like the infrastructure used in 'private' (fake) cloud.... yet it is all cloud, as though there is any unifying strand.
