Under forecasts IDC, sales of servers in region EMEA - Europe (including Russia), the Near East and Africa - in 2nd quarter 2009 will fall to 39,3 % in comparison with the similar period of 2008 and doctignut marks in $2,9 billion Market falls 4th quarter successively more and more high rates (in 1st quarter of this year recession reached 34,3 %). In IDC expect that the bottom of the server market in EMEA is necessary this ear for 2nd quarter - both by quantity, and on a gain from the sold cars. In total for this period in region it will be realised less 0,5 million servers, approximately on 30 % it is less, than last quarter. In 1st quarter 2009 each sector of economy has felt on itself influence of a world economic crisis: almost all countries of Western Europe were captured by recession, and economy of countries of Eastern Europe will be paralysed frequently by shortage of credits, - makes comments.

Nataniel Martinez. (Nathaniel Martinez), heading in IDC the program of researches of the European systems and infrastructural decisions.

- IDC has lowered the forecast that speaks influence of going deep recession on the server matket. A sales volume of servers in region EMEA and the growth forecast, 2008-2013 (in $mln). A source: IDC, June, 2009 By words. Beatriz Valle. (Beatriz Valle), analytics IDC on the server market of Europe, recession has various scale and the form depending on the country.

Among seriously suffered from recession - the server market of Great Britain, and continental Europe goes by same means. In second half of 2009 The market will continue to show falling in comparison with similar indicators of 2008, - continues Valle.

- It will be more strongly expressed in monetary indicators, than in quantitative, because of the tendency to decrease in average cost prices which has begun even before recession.

Nevertheless, the analyst predicts that rates of decrease in sales volumes of servers will in money terms be slowed down next four quarters. However growth of sales will return on server market EMEA not earlier than 3rd quarter 2010 In money terms a bottom will be reached in 1st quarter 2010 on a mark in $2,6 billion In IDC are assured that restoration of consumer demand this autumn will begin: its splashes though also moderated, become appreciable in 2nd half of 2009 The receipt of x86 servers, predictably, will start to show positive dynamics earlier, than in other segments. Its recession in 1st quarter 2009 will be measured less than 10 % - basically, for the account sementa blejd-servers and consolidation of infrastructures. Strengthening of consolidation, requirement for ordering of an infrastructure and budgetary restrictions will define character of demand for servers, - believes. Dzhorzhio Nebuloni. (Giorgio Nebuloni), analyst IDC on the market of the European systems and infrastructural decisions. - on the other hand, sales not x86 servers will return to growth in 2nd half of 2010 thanks to increase of demand for scale infrastructural projects. Sales of mass servers will grow slower rates: from $1,6 mlrd in 2nd quarter 2009 to $1,7 mlrd in 3rd quarter 2010 of Sale of high-efficiency servers and cars of an average price category will start to grow only in 1st quarter 2011 Let's remind that recently IDC the similar forecast on the world market of servers.

Prroceeding from it, it is possible to tell that region EMEA will divide universal tendencies of development of the market. As a whole, predictably, the volume of the server market all over the world will decrease in 2009 on 22,1 % in monetary and on 18,3 % - in quantitative expression in comparison with 2008 we Will remind that experts Gartner result similar forecasts: they expect that will be difficult for all server market 2009, and to return to growth till 2010 to it hardly it will be possible. In Gartner the worst for all history of the server market named 1st quarter of this year, but estimations for 2nd quarter yet have not published.
