And The Tech Company Making The Most Money On The Cloud Is ... Cisco!
Well, here's a startling stat that helps prove his point: Cisco beat out HP and
Synergy pegged Cisco at a 15% share of the $9 billion sold in Q1.
This compared with IBM and HP at 14% apiece, Dell's 9%, EMC's 7%, VMware's 4%, NetApp's 4% and Oracle's 3%, Synergy researcher John Dinsdale told us.
Cisco's No. 1 status might not last long, warns the market researcher. Cisco benefitted in part from an "exceedingly poor" quarter for both HP's and IBM's server businesses, Dinsdale said.
But there's another interesting fact buried in the report: A huge chunk of money, some 30%, didn't go to any of the big IT vendors.
That's because the biggest Web companies aren't buying their gear from traditional vendors anymore. Companies like Google, Facebook, Rackspace are designing their own servers and hiring contract manufacturers to build them.
