Sun Microsystems, were the only top five vendors to record a decline. With shipments, all the major players, again apart from Sun, posted growth. Regionally, Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa and the US posted shipments rises but Canada, Eastern and Western Europe, Japan and Latin America saw unit sales decline. For the year, worldwide server sales fell 16.6% and revenues went down 18.3%, said Gartner.
