The x86-based server market
continues to grow as organizations seek to replace propriety systems with more
open x86-based architectures to optimize business outcomes. TBR research
indicates that as customers use more x86 servers in their data centers, they
are increasingly leveraging this hardware for business-critical workloads such
as database applications, systems management, enterprise resource planning
(ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM). Customers require reliable,
strong-performing hardware backed by vendors with a solid services and support
organization to confidently run these workloads on their x86 servers. TBR’s
4Q15 Corporate IT Buying Behavior & Customer Satisfaction Study: x86-based
Servers (CSAT x86-based Servers Study) found customers require a server vendor
to excel in several areas, including sales processes, product quality, and
services and support.
Satisfaction scores from TBR’s
4Q15 CSAT x86-based Servers Study show that customers view Lenovo as a provider
of high-quality x86-based servers, services and support. TBR measured 22
customer satisfaction attributes for Dell, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) and
Lenovo, and Lenovo finished ahead of its competitors in rolling six-month mean
satisfaction scores for every attribute. Lenovo’s overall TBR weighted
satisfaction index score, which includes sales, product and service attributes,
as well as brand loyalty, was 78.3 out of a possible 100, surpassing Dell and
HPE, which scored 73.9 and 73.4, respectively. Lenovo has been No. 1 in overall
x86-based server customer satisfaction in seven out of the previous eight quarters.
TBR believes Lenovo’s industry-leading satisfaction scores reflect the vendor’s
ability to meet customer expectations for high-quality hardware and
consistently strong sales, services and support.
