Affinity Index
While HP dominates the x86 server field in terms of market share, as shown in subsequent slides, it finished second in the Channel Affinity Index, which adds up vendors' scores for all 15 factors. Super Micro's leading total score of 538 suggests that that vendor could be poised to gain market share because VARs like what they're seeing, according to IPED. Still, it has a long way to go. Super Micro's share of channel deals planned to close in the second half of 2008 was just 0.4 percent of all deals, worth $33 million, which compares to HP's Affinity Index score of 528 and $2.97 billion in projected revenue for deals closed in the second half of the year.
