"The global server market is currently led by growth momentum in the Chinese market as the market is the world's second largest market only next to North America. In China, the market is dominated by homegrown brands Huawei, Inspur, and Lenovo that account for about 70% of the server supply in China and therefore their impact will continue to be a major concern for Taiwanese counterparts," says Pei-fen Hsieh, industry analyst with MIC.
