Shipments of computer servers in the April-June quarter in Japan registered record-low growth in both volume and value terms amid prolonged repercussions attributable to the collapse of the information technology bubble, a market research agency said Wednesday night.
Second-quarter shipments saw a 17.7 percent decline from a year earlier to 83,205 units, and a 23.2 percent fall in value to 160.3 billion yen, according to Gartner Japan Ltd.
Both mark the poorest performances on record, the Japanese affiliate of GartnerGroup Inc. of the United States said, which began compiling statistics in 1996.
