On August 5, 2015 it became known that the largest contract producer of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) processors decided to replace the supplier of servers for the data centers. The Taiwanese company stopped the choice on the compatriot of Acer instead of continuing cooperation with IBM.
According to the informational portal DigiTimes, referring to sources in a supply channel, Acer received purchase orders of the servers used in data processing centers of semiconductor giant from TSMC. Contract details remain confidential.
It is noted that TSMC is among a set of the companies which decided to refuse work of IBM in the field of server business after the American corporation sold to Lenovo the division on release of systems on chips with architecture of x86. Even the Taiwan government was engaged in search of alternative suppliers of servers.
In case of successful cooperation of TSMC and Acer the last will be able to expect good profit, considering that about 20-30% of sales of servers in house business market fall to the share of the partner.
It is possible that leaders of the software industry of HP and Dell will fight for orders from TSMC as these American corporations conduct active competitive struggle in the market long ago. Dell is going to release in the second half of 2015 a number of new complete hardware-software solutions which, according to the company, should help it to win first place in the list of the world's largest producers of servers.
According to the head of server business of Dell Ashley Gorakhpurwalla, to the middle of 2015 the company already became the leader in sales of servers in China and North America, and in Europe and the Pacific Rim it goes the second.
As for Lenovo, this company could increase the share in global market of servers from 3% for the moment of purchase of a part of server business of IBM to 8% to the middle of 2015, DigiTimes notes.[1]
