Huawei Rises To Third In Units Shipped As Lenovo Struggles

Though they ship roughly half as many servers worldwide as Dell EMC and HPE, Huawei and Lenovo are locked in a tight battle behind the two industry giants. In the fourth quarter, however, Huawei, a newcomer to the server market, boosted shipments 64 percent to claim an 8.4 percent market share and take advantage of Lenovo's weakness in the quarter. Lenovo shipped 220,296 units during the period, about 25,000 fewer than Huawei and a 14 percent decline from a year earlier. Its market share for the quarter was 7.5 percent.
