HP Takes Top Server Spot From IBM
Looking at first quarter global server revenue, it would seem that HP has surpassed IBM to become top dog in the server industry.

However, although the market is bouncing back, server revenue in the quarter was only around 80 percent of its peak in 2008, it noted.
