FRAMINGHAM, Mass., August 28, 2012 – According to the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Server Tracker, factory revenue in the worldwide server market decreased 4.8% year over year to $12.6 billion in the second quarter of 2012 (2Q12). This is the third consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue decline, as server market demand continued to soften following a strong refresh cycle which characterized the market in most of 2010 and 2011.
