Tongue-twisting titles notwithstanding, research firm IDC reported this week that server sales continued to rise in Q3 2004, with Dell gaining ground on Sun Microsystems. The market for servers jumped 5.5 percent in the quarter to $11.5 billion, marking the sixth consecutive quarter of growth. IBM retained the top spot, with 32 percent of revenues, followed by Hewlett-Packard (HP), which took 27 percent of the market. Sun was number three, followed by Dell.
