"Q2 2017 produced some growth compared with the Q1 on a global level, with varying regional results," the analyst says. "The growth for the quarter is attributable to 2 main factors. The first is strong regional performance in Asia/Pacific because of data center infrastructure build-outs, mostly in China. The second is ongoing hyperscale data center growth that is exhibited in the self-build/ODM (original design manufacturer) segment."

In terms of different technologies, x86 server shipments are up by 2.5% Y-o-Y while revenues are up by 6.9%. RISK/Itanium Unix servers are down by -21.4% in shipments and -24.9% in revenues, and the "other" CPU category (primarily mainframes) shows -29.5% revenue decline.
